Pickover, C.A.2014-10-212014-10-2119871467-8659https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8659.1987.tb00342.xChaos theory involves the study of how complicated behaviour can arise in systems which are based on simple rules, and how minute changes in the input of a system can lead to large differences in the output. In this paper, bifurcation maps of the education Xt+1=??Xt [1+Xt] -?, where ?= 1 or ?=e-Xi, are presented, and they reveal a visually striking and intricate class of patterns ranging from stable points, to a bifurcating hierarchy of stable cycles, to apparently random fluctuations. The computer-based system presented is special in its primary focus on the fast characterization of simple"chacs equation" data using an interactive graphics system with a variety of controlling parameters.10.1111/j.1467-8659.1987.tb00342.x26-33
