Ikeda Map - Attractor

Attractor

This animation shows how the attractor of the system changes as the parameter is varied from 0.0 to 1.0 in steps of 0.01. The Ikeda dynamical system is simulated for 500 steps, starting from 20000 randomly placed starting points. The last 20 points of each trajectory are plotted to depict the attractor. Note the bifurcation of attractor points as is increased.
