Bidimensional display of the rounding-off errors when computing the Verhulst dynamics [Visualisation bidimensionnelle des erreurs d'arrondi dans le calcul de la dynamique de Verhulst].
This picture displays the two following Verhulst dynamics (for 1000 iterations):
X = [[R+1]*X ] - [R*[X *X ]]
n n-1 n-1 n-1
Y = [[R+1]*Y ] - [[R*Y ]*Y ]
n n-1 n-1 n-1
computed with the same initial conditions:
X = 0.5
0
Y = 0.5
0
They are strictly equivalent mathematically speaking and thus the
point set {Xn,Yn} should be on a straight line with equation:
Y = X
in the bidimensional space. Unfortunately,
when the R parameter increases (from 2.0 -picture 01- to 3.0 -picture 16-) the rounding-off errors
become huge and give birth to two different numerical Verhulst dynamics.
Then, the {Xn,Yn} points appear "anywhere" inside a square.
This double precision (64 bits) computation was made on a SGI O200 under IRIX 6.5 and C compiler release 7.2.1.
