中文版:逻辑斯蒂映射在线计算器
原理:逻辑斯蒂映射 x_(n+1) = r·x_n(1 − x_n) 是最著名的一维非线性离散动力系统,x 模拟受密度制约的种群比例,r 是增长率。r ≤ 1 种群灭绝;1 < r ≤ 3 轨道收敛到唯一不动点 x* = (r − 1)/r;3 < r ≤ 1 + √6 ≈ 3.449 稳定周期 2 循环(两支解由求根公式给出,上支 = (r + 1 + √((r+1)(r−3)))/(2r));随后周期倍化 4、8、16 …每次分岔处的 r 间距按几何收缩,比值趋于 Feigenbaum 常数 δ = 4.6692,r ≈ 3.5699 起进入混沌;r = 4 时映射满支混沌,Lyapunov 指数 = ln 2 ≈ 0.6931(相邻轨道指数分离)。周期窗口(如 r ≈ 3.83 的周期 3 窗口)中「周期 3 意味着混沌」由李-约克定理断言。
步骤:输入 r、初值与步数,程序迭代 x_(n+1) = r·x_n(1 − x_n),取尾部 64 项判定周期(1e-6 容差去重),并数值估计 Lyapunov 指数 λ = 平均 ln|r(1 − 2x_n)|。
示例:r = 2 时轨道收敛到 x* = 0.500000000000;r = 3.2 出现周期 2 循环,上支 = 0.799455490467、下支 = 0.513044509533;r = 4 时 Lyapunov 指数数值逼近 0.693147180560;混沌起点 r_∞ ≈ 3.569945672。
注意事项:r 限 0 到 4(r > 4 轨道逃逸到负无穷);x0 需开区间 (0, 1);Lyapunov 数值对步数敏感——建议 n ≥ 20000(本工具默认值),混沌区数值波动约 ±0.01;判定行「周期 k」指尾部收敛后的循环长度,混沌时显示提示文本。
