Bifurcation Diagram for a Generalized Logistic Map
Bifurcation Diagram for a Generalized Logistic Map
This Demonstration shows a bifurcation diagram for a generalized logistic map, [1–7]. This map is very well-suited for numerical analysis because:

1. The basin of attraction for an attracting set is strictly confined within for any initial value and for any parameter values and .
|x|≤1

λ>0
z>0
2. The basin of attraction for an attracting set abruptly vanishes at for any value of , that is, "all boundary crises occur at ."

3. Since the function is symmetric around , this map is particularly convenient for renormalization group analysis.
