=== Demographic model example === Taking the biological [[Lotka–Volterra equations|population model]] as an example {{mvar|x<sub>n</sub>}} is a number between zero and one, which represents the ratio of existing [[population]] to the [[carrying capacity|maximum possible population]]. <ref name=":1" group="May, Robert M. (1976)" >{{harvnb|May|1976|loc=formula 2 and 3}}</ref> This nonlinear difference equation is intended to capture two effects: * ''reproduction'', where the population will increase at a rate [[Proportionality (mathematics)|proportional]] to the current population when the population size is small, * ''starvation'' (density-dependent mortality), where the [[Population growth|growth rate]] will decrease at a rate proportional to the value obtained by taking the theoretical "carrying capacity" of the environment less the current population. The usual values of interest for the parameter {{mvar|r}} are those in the interval {{math|[0, 4]}}, so that {{mvar|x<sub>n</sub>}} remains bounded on {{math|[0, 1]}}. The {{math|''r'' {{=}} 4}} case of the logistic map is a nonlinear transformation of both the [[bit-shift map]] and the {{math|''μ'' {{=}} 2}} case of the [[tent map]]. If {{math|''r'' > 4}}, this leads to negative population sizes. (This problem does not appear in the older [[Ricker model]], which also exhibits chaotic dynamics.) One can also consider values of {{mvar|r}} in the interval {{math|[−2, 0]}}, so that {{mvar|x<sub>n</sub>}} remains bounded on {{math|[−0.5, 1.5]}}.<ref name="Takashi Tsuchiya, Daisuke Yamagishi, 1997"/> {{expand Japanese}} <!-- Still big work TODO --> <!-- TODO: check and migrate all citations this are left here in the text commented out with the format [ 100 ] --> <!-- TODO: fix/remove the japanese file names -- not sure how to do that with wikimedia --> <!-- Add back inline citations to other pages from wikipedia as per japanese article --> <!-- Add back Note 1 and Note 2 from japanese article --> <!-- Double check consistency and if some content needs to be moved e.g. Chaos and map is a catch-all, special values is in two places, Relation to logistic is somewhat double but separated, Biological model is also somewhat double but separated. Maybe add some extra internal references --> <!-- tag sections of the article like level of reader e.g this section requires calculus or this section can be read from a 7th grade etc. --> <!-- The article is a bit large, maybe add boxes to separate out detailed sections about characterization of the map -->
