Analytical solution of the logistic equation Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • An analytical solution for the well-known quadratic recursion, also known as the logistic map, is presented. Our derivation makes use of the analogy between this equation and GaltonWatson processes. The latter can be treated in a linear way using the transfer matrix technique. The solution is represented as a power of an appropriate transfer matrix.
