Frequency Distribution of the Logistic Map

For the plots we omit the first 1000 iterations in order to get rid of transient behavior in our analysis. However, to visualize the dynamics properly, we included only 100 time steps in the time series plot. For the frequency distribution we used 4000 time steps.

The snapshots show the phase-space density profiles of the logistic map for four different dynamical regimes (periodic, band-merging chaotic, laminar chaotic, fully chaotic). The frequency distribution is not sufficient to quantitatively distinguish these regimes and to investigate the transitions between them.
