Mystery
editFrom reading this article alone, it's a mystery what the relation is between the parameters of the logistic equation and a string like ABBABABAB. EverGreg 19:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Other chaotic maps?
editCould a Lyapunov fractal be created by measuring the Lyapunov exponent of other chaotic maps? --204.56.135.2 (talk) 19:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Low-level programming languages
edit"This algorithm is suitable for languages like Mathematica, but not for low-level programming languages. See also the image page of Lyapunov-fractal.png."
Why? Actually the page of Lyapunov-fractal.png demonstrates the opposite: the current version of the image was actually generated with a C program implementing this algorithm, NOT Mathematica. bungalo (talk) 16:27, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
What the quote above implies is that the algorithm (which I wrote) described in the article is a high-level, "naive" algorithm. It is easily converted into Mathematica code, but it doesn't run particularly fast. The C program in the image page is low-level, and uses a more sophisticated algorithm to shorten the execution time, at the expense of being somewhat less mathematically readable.
File:Lyapunov-fractal.png to appear as POTD soon
editHello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Lyapunov-fractal.png will be appearing as picture of the day on September 13, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-09-13. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 17:25, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
