henon: Henon map

Description

Calculates the Henon map states using the specifed parameter set. The Henon map is defined as $$x_n=a-x_{n-1}^2+b{y}_{n-1}$$ $$y_n=x_{n-1}$$

A parameter set of $a=1.4$ and $b=0.3$ is known to produce a deterministic chaotic response.

Usage

henon(start=rnorm(2), a=1.4, b=0.3, n.sample=2000, n.transient=10)

Arguments

start

a two-element vector of numeric values denoting the starting values for the X and Y Henon coordinates, respectively.

a

the a parameter. Default: 1.4.

b

the b parameter. Default: 0.3.

n.sample

an integer denoting the number of iterates to create beyond that specified by n.transient. Default: 2000.

n.transient

an integer denoting the number of transient points. These transients are removed from the output. Default: 10.

Value

a list of vectors named x and y corresponding to the X- and Y states of the Henon map, respectively.
