Abstract

This paper gives an analytical proof of the existence of chaotic dynamics for a single-species discrete population model with stage structure and birth pulses. The approach is based on a general existence criterion for chaotic dynamics of n-dimensional maps and inequality techniques. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the result.

Highlights

  • Many papers have been published on chaos in discrete models

  • Since numerical simulations may lead to erroneous conclusions, numerical evidence of the existence of chaotic behaviors still needs to be confirmed analytically

  • Liz and Ruiz-Herrera [ ] established a general existence criterion for chaotic dynamics of n-dimensional maps under a new definition of chaos, and they applied it to prove analytically the existence of chaotic dynamics in some classical discrete-time age-structured population models. This novel analytical approach is very effective in detecting chaos of discrete-time dynamical systems

Summary

Introduction

1 Introduction Many papers have been published on chaos in discrete models (see [ – ] and references cited therein). Some researchers proved analytically the existence of chaotic behavior of discrete systems under different definitions of chaos (for example, see [ – ]). Liz and Ruiz-Herrera [ ] established a general existence criterion for chaotic dynamics of n-dimensional maps under a new definition of chaos, and they applied it to prove analytically the existence of chaotic dynamics in some classical discrete-time age-structured population models.
