Cobweb Diagram for Generalized Logistic Maps with z-Unimodality

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows the cobweb diagram for , which generalizes the well-known logistic map
[1–8]. Here
is the iteration number,
is the
iterate of
starting from the initial value
,
is the main control parameter, and
is the subcontrol parameter (which determines the unimodality, the degree of the local maximum of
).
