8.3. THE BIFURCATION DIAGRAM 341<br />

PROBLEMS:<br />

Problem 8-16: Finer structure<br />

For the logistic map, produce the bifurcation diagram for the region a =3:54 to<br />

a =3:6, taking x0 =0:2, and dividing the a interval into 100 steps. Summarize<br />

the various periodic solutions that you observe.<br />

Problem 8-17: More ¯ne structure<br />

Explore the periodic window in the vicinity of a =3:8and report on what<br />

periodicities you observe at each a value sampled.<br />

Problem 8-18: Cubic map<br />

Produce a bifurcation diagram for the cubic map<br />

xn+1 = axn ¡ x 3 n<br />

over a suitable range of the parameter a. Determine the values of a in the<br />

diagram at which the periodicity changes.<br />

Problem 8-19: Quartic map<br />

With x0 =0:2, produce the bifurcation diagram for the quartic map<br />

xn+1 = axn (1 ¡ x 3 n )<br />

over the range a =1:5 toa =2:0, taking as small an a step size as you can.<br />

Summarize the behavior of the map as a varies over the speci¯ed range.<br />

Problem 8-20: The tent map<br />

Produce the bifurcation diagram for the tent map<br />

xn+1 =2axn; 0
