If the fixed point is x n = 0, the system becomes extinct.(B) µ = 3.3, a period-two cycle. (C) µ = 3.5, a period-four cycle. (D) µ = 3.8, a chaotic regime.If µ3, the square root produces a real number and thus thatphysical solutions exist (complex or negative x ∗ values are nonphysical). We leaveit to your computer explorations to discover how the system continues to doubleperiods as µ continues to increase. In all cases the pattern is the same: One of thepopulations bifurcates into two.−101<strong>COPYRIGHT</strong> <strong>2008</strong>, PRINCET O N UNIVE R S I T Y P R E S SEVALUATION COPY ONLY.
