logmap
©A. Oteo
LogMap is an acronym for Logistic Map.
LogMap is an interactive program that allows a thorough visual illustration of the regular and chaotic features of the Logistic map: trajectories (including sensitivity to initial conditions), Lyapunov exponent, bifurcation diagram, invariant density and  cobweb diagram.
As the logistic map is a paradigm for teaching Chaos, the program is a tool that allows a hands on approach to a large number of issues on Chaos and Non-Lineal Dynamics.
In this page we provide the code, a description of its features and a tutorial.
