Task 3: Solutions

Experimentally verify the following:
1)   Two sequences with seeds only slightly apart diverge very rapidly (exponentially).


Jarrod Pickens used Mathematica to create the following diagram showing the difference between the seeds x1 = 0.4 and x¢1 = 0.4001, with a = 3.9.



A similar diagram, from the Kanamaru applet (captured by Jarrod Pickens) is on the left.

2)     Eachv>


2)     Each population sequence wanders all over [0,1].



Bifurcation diagrams show this most clearly.
