Request: Basic Discrete Dynamical Systems Tutorial

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the request for tutorials and resources related to basic discrete dynamical systems, specifically covering linear and non-linear one-dimensional difference equations, quadratic one-dimensional difference equations, and linear two-dimensional difference equations using matrices. Key concepts include equilibria, maps, orbits, bifurcation, and graphical techniques such as stair-step and cobweb diagrams. The user provided a comprehensive list of helpful links to tutorials that cover these topics in detail, including the logistic map, fixed points, cycles, transition probability matrices, and simple Markov processes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of linear and non-linear difference equations
  • Familiarity with matrices and their applications in dynamical systems
  • Knowledge of basic concepts in probability, particularly transition probability matrices
  • Basic understanding of eigenvalues and eigenvectors
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the "Discrete Dynamical Systems Tutorial" for foundational concepts
  • Explore "Linear One-Dimensional Difference Equations Tutorial" for specific techniques
  • Investigate "Logistic Map Tutorial" to understand complex behaviors in dynamical systems
  • Learn about "Simple Markov Process Tutorial" to apply probability concepts in discrete systems
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and researchers in mathematics, particularly those focusing on dynamical systems, as well as anyone interested in the applications of difference equations and matrices in modeling discrete processes.

I am so very sorry, but I did not know where to put this thread!
I would like to request any helpful links and/or tutorials relating to basic discrete dynamical systems, or any help at all!

It should cover:
linear one dimension difference equations; non-linear one dimension difference equations; quadratic one dimensional difference equation; linear two dimensional difference equations (matrices); matrices
(that is, they are all maps, and discrete, not continuous)

Covering: equilibria, maps, orbits, bifurcation, graphical techiniques (stair-step & cobweb diagrams); logistic map; fixed points; cycles (as in 2-cycle, 4-cycle etc); (transition) probability matrices; matrices in general; simple Markov process; two dimensional dynamical systems using matrices; eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

I know it is a big ask, but any help is appreciated.
