26. (a) The second return map (light line), together with the first return map (dark line) for s = 2. |
(b) The 2-cycle is shown by the dashed square. |
(c) From the dashed square, we see one point, x, of the 2-cycle is less than 1/2, while the other, y, is greater than 1/2. Then using equation (2) |
xn+1 = s*xn if xn <= 0.5 |
xn+1 = s*(1 - xn) if xn > 0.5 |
we see y = s*x and x = s*(1 - y). Combining these,
x = |
