| | Lyapunov Exponents for the 2-Dimensional Logistic Equation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | This program, which is included with the PNGwriter source (in examples/), will output an image characterizing the lyapunov exponents of the logistic equation when the parameter R is not constant but a periodic series of 2 values. |
 | | Take a simple equation, and iterate it (take an initial value, put it into the equation, get what it spits out, and plug it in again to the equation, etc, etc). |
 | | You can calculate how chaotic this setup is for these fixed values of A and B. Take A and B as your x-y coordinates, and the lyapunov exponent as the colour value: chaotic is red, super-stable is deep blue, and in between is fl. |
