Abstract
By adopting the BCS strategy in a tight binding model for layered high-temperature superconductors, it is possible to get a remarkable agreement with a number of experimental facts1. Accordingly, a more detailed study of the nonlinear properties of the BCS gap equation is of interest. One way to proceed is to investigate the iterative solution of the BCS gap equation defining a nonlinear map which can be studied with the tools developed for nonlinear dynamics2.
