3.2.2. Quadratic iterator modeling the dynamic behavior of animal and plant populations

One of the first to draw attention to the chaotic behavior of nonlinear difference equations was the Australian ecologist Robert May, when in 1975 he published a paper on modeling changes in plant and animal population in an ecosystem when there are limits to the available resources.

Letting time events t tick in integer steps, corresponding to generations, the incumbent population is measured as a fraction supposed to represent the ratio between a current value and an estimated maximum value. The equation states
