Aims and Objectives
• To introduce nonlinear one- and two-dimensional iterated maps.
• To investigate period-doubling bifurcations to chaos.
• To introduce the notion of universality.
On completion of this chapter, the reader should be able to
• produce graphical iterations of one-dimensional iterated maps;
• test whether certain systems are chaotic;
• plot bifurcation diagrams;
• apply some of the theory to model simple problems from biology, economics, neural networks, nonlinear optics, and population dynamics.
