The logistic map

Logistic map: f (x) = λx(1− x) 0 ≤ λ ≤ 4

x

f(x)

λ = 0.5

Maps the interval [0, 1]into itself

Iterate over and overagain: represents state ofa dynamical systemevolving in time

What is the long-term behaviour, and (how) does it depend on λ?

General questions

Numerical picture of bifurcation diagram for logistic maps raises questions:

1 Various phenomena are suggested by numerics: period-doublingcascades, windows of stability, self-similarity, chaos. Can theirexistence be proved rigorously?

2 Qualitative behaviour depends on parameter. How large are theparameter sets on which different behaviours occur?

3 Can consider other one-parameter families of interval mapsfλ : [0, 1] . Does the same story happen here?

4 What about higher dimensions (fλ : Rd ) or manifolds (fλ : M )?

General answers

1 Rigorous phenomena for logistic maps.Period-doubling, windows of stability, self-similarity, chaos: All canbe rigorously proved to exist.

2 Size of parameter sets (prevalence of different behaviours).

Windows of stability are open and dense. Chaos is a Cantor set buthas positive measure.

3 Other interval maps.

Same results can be proved for very general families of interval maps.Even some quantitative results are identical, such as rate of conver-gence in period-doubling cascades (Feigenbaum universality).

4 Higher dimensions.

Numerics suggest a similar story, but proofs are much harderand most answers are still unknown.
