Both the logistic map and the sine map are one-dimensional maps that map the interval [0, 1] to [0, 1] and satisfy the following property, called unimodal . = =. The map is differentiable and there exists a unique critical point c in [0, 1] such that ′ =. In general, if a one-dimensional map with one parameter and one variable is unimodal and ...
Cobweb plot of the Gauss map for = and =. This shows an 8-cycle. This shows an 8-cycle. In mathematics , the Gauss map (also known as Gaussian map [ 1 ] or mouse map ), is a nonlinear iterated map of the reals into a real interval given by the Gaussian function :
The Gauss map can be defined for hypersurfaces in R n as a map from a hypersurface to the unit sphere S n − 1 ⊆ R n. For a general oriented k-submanifold of R n the Gauss map can also be defined, and its target space is the oriented Grassmannian ~,, i.e. the set of all oriented k-planes in R n. In this case a point on the submanifold is ...
In mathematics, a chaotic map is a map (an evolution function) that exhibits some sort of chaotic behavior. Maps may be parameterized by a discrete-time or a continuous-time parameter. Discrete maps usually take the form of iterated functions. Chaotic maps often occur in the study of dynamical systems.
The continuous function f is defined on a closed interval [a, b] and takes values in the same interval. Saying that this function has a fixed point amounts to saying that its graph (dark green in the figure on the right) intersects that of the function defined on the same interval [a, b] which maps x to x (light green).
The degree of a map between general manifolds was first defined by Brouwer, [1] who showed that the degree is homotopy invariant and used it to prove the Brouwer fixed point theorem. Less general forms of the concept existed before Brouwer, such as the winding number and the Kronecker characteristic (or Kronecker integral ).
An RR tachograph is a graph of the numerical value of the RR-interval versus time. In the context of RR tachography, a Poincaré plot is a graph of RR(n) on the x-axis versus RR(n + 1) (the succeeding RR interval) on the y-axis, i.e. one takes a sequence of intervals and plots each interval against the following interval.

The all-pairs shortest path problem finds the shortest paths between every pair of vertices v, v' in the graph. The all-pairs shortest paths problem for unweighted directed graphs was introduced by Shimbel (1953) , who observed that it could be solved by a linear number of matrix multiplications that takes a total time of O ( V 4 ) .
