General info

The discrete logistic model often is cited as an archetypal example of how complex, chaotic behaviour can arise from very simple non-linear dynamical equations. The equation was popularized in a 1976 paper by the biologist Robert May, in part as a discrete-time demographic model analogous to the logistic equation first created by Pierre François Verhulst. Mathematically, the logistic map is written as

x_n+1=ax_n(1-x_n),

where x_n is a number between zero and one that represents the ratio of existing population to the maximum possible population. The values of interest for the parameter a are those in the interval [0,4].
