Abstract In this work the dynamic behaviour of the one-dimensional family of maps Fp,q(x) = 1/(1 px qx2) is examined, for specific values of the control parameters p and q. Lyapunov exponents and bifurcation diagrams are numerically calculated. Consequently, a transition from periodic to chaotic regions is observed at values of p and q, where the related maps correspond to Fibonacci generating functions associated with the golden-, the silver- and the bronze mean.

1. Introduction Discrete time dynamical systems generated by the iteration of nonlinear maps provide simple and interesting examples of chaotic systems evolution. Even one-dimensional chaotic maps can describe very complicated dynamic behaviour, usually induced by their rich bifurcation structure. A typical feature of such maps is the existence of one or more parameters that control the nonlinearity. The quadratic family of maps, has drawn much attention and has been studied extensively due to its simplicity and clear exposition to period doubling route to chaos [1,2]. It is well known that iteration is one of the most powerful sources of self-similarity. Fibonacci sequences, the hyperbolic map xn+1 = 1/hxni, (where h i denotes remainder modulo 1), with its famous fixed points, the golden mean [1, 1, 1, . . .], the silver mean [2, 2, 2, . . .], and the bronze mean [3, 3, 3, . . .], all represent self-similar objects leading to chaos [3]. These three means belong to the family of metallic means [4–7] and appear astonishingly often in nature, sciences, even paintings, sculpture and music. On the other hand, many interesting results have been published recently, using members of the metallic means family to elucidate the transition from periodicity to quasi-periodicity.

The recent progress on the technology of nano-layers of various materials (both semiconductors and magnetic ones) is of increasing interest in contemporary material science. Thickness and composition of multilayers can be controlled with high precision. When quantum structures of nano-layers are forming superlattices, the properties of these layers can deviate significantly from those of the original bulk materials. As a result of experimental developments, onedimensional quasi-periodic structures have been studied theoretically by several groups recently [8–10]. Most of the theoretical and numerical calculations have been performed for the Fibonacci sequences providing a kind of prototype for further studying quasi-periodic systems. On the other hand, using Fibonacci sequences, aperiodic systems have been studied based on substitution rules by means of matrix approach [11–20]. 1 In this work, we examine the behaviour of the family of maps F p;q ðxÞ ¼ 1pxqx 2 , for different values of p and q, which serve as the control parameters. This is the generating function of the generalized Fibonacci sequence described in the next section. It is observed that, as the parameters change, the behaviour of the maps progresses from periodicity through bifurcations to a state of chaos. Period doubling bifurcations and periodic windows are visualised, in a manner similar to the logistic map. The vicinities of the parameter-values where the above phenomena occur give rise to Fibonacci sequences associated with the golden mean, the silver mean and the bronze mean.
2. Generalized Fibonacci sequences and the associated generating functions A Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of integers, such that every integer is the sum of the two previous ones: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, . . . The terms of the sequence satisfy the recurrence relation F nþ1 ¼ F n þ F n1
ðn ¼ 1; 2; . . .Þ
ð1Þ
with F0 = F1 = 1. The generating function for the Fibonacci numbers is f ðxÞ ¼
1 1 x x2

since 1 X 1 2 3 4 5 ¼ 1 þ x þ 2x þ 3x þ 5x þ 8x þ ¼ F n xn 1 x x2 n¼0

pffiffi of successive Fibonacci numbers, the famous golden mean / ¼ 1þ2 5 ¼ limn!1 FFnþ1 is obtained, with Taking ratios FFnþ1 n n continued fraction representation / = [1, 1, 1, . . .]. It can be shown that all Fibonacci numbers can be obtained by F n ¼ p1ffiffi5 f/nþ1 ð1=/Þnþ1 g.
The Fibonacci sequence defined above, may be generalized by considering the recurrence relation Gnþ1 ¼ pGn þ qGn1
ðn ¼ 1; 2; . . .Þ
ð4Þ
with G0 = a, G1 = b (a, b 2 Z) where p and q are natural numbers. In this case, the terms of the sequence are a, b, pb + qa, p(pb + qa) + qb, . . . Letting a = 1 and b = 1, the Fibonacci sequence is obtained for p = q = 1. In this paper, we consider (4), with G0 = 1 and G1 = p. The terms of the sequence become 1, p, p2 + q, p3 + 2pq, p4 + 3p2q + q2, . . . The corresponding generating function is F p;q ðxÞ ¼

In the next section, we shall examine the dynamics of (5) in the intervals 0.9 6 p, q 6 3.1, including the three special cases:

The two parameters p and q enter the map in an essential way. As these parameters are passing through some critical values, the sequence of iterates generated from the map also alters experiencing a transition from periodic to chaotic behaviour of the parameter. To study these transitions in detail we have calculated numerically the bifurcation diagrams and the corresponding Lyapunov exponents for different values of p and q. For this purpose we have used Mathcad [21–23] to calculate both the bifurcation diagrams and the Lyapunov exponents. Doing so, we took into account that the Lyapunov exponent can be found using the formula [24]

For the calculations of the Lyapunov exponent we have used instead of the general formula (8) the more specific (9). To avoid initial fluctuations we performed the averaging over the last 200 values of 10 000 iterations. In Fig. 1(a) the bifurcation diagram of (7) is shown, for q = 1 and 0.9 6 p 6 3.1. To guarantee that the steady state condition is always achieved, we have plotted only the last 200 values of 10 000 iterations. As it is evident from Fig. 1(a), there are two chaotic regimes around p = 1.7 and p = 2.3 occasionally interrupted by periodic orbits. To gain a better view to these infinitesimal regions we have numerically calculated the corresponding Lyapunov exponent for the same values of p. The results of this calculation are shown in Fig. 1(b). The two chaotic regimes of the previous figure correspond exactly to the two regimes of Fig. 1(b), where the Lyapunov exponent has positive values, occasionally

interrupted by sharp and short transitions to negative values (periodic orbits). There are also three periodic windows around p = 1, p = 2 and p = 3. These values of p correspond exactly to the golden mean, silver mean and bronze mean provided that q = 1. In the first and second periodic windows we observe that bifurcations occur at p 1, p 1.3 and p 2. We have to remark that even small deviations of q from the value q = 1 are changing this picture dramatically. To show the influence of small q-deviations on the bifurcation diagram we have numerically calculated the bifurcation diagram for the following values of q = 1.00000, q = 1.00001, q = 1.00010 and q = 1.00100. The results of these calculations are shown in Fig. 2. As it can be deduced from these diagrams for q = 1.00000 and p = 1 only an orbit of period 3 exists. However, with slightly increasing q (q = 1.00001, q = 1.00010 and q = 1.00100) successively widening chaotic regimes coexist with the previous mentioned periodic one. To check the law between the width of the previous chaotic regimes and the deviation of q from the value 1, we have calculated diagrams similar to those of Fig. 2 for several values of q. The results are shown in Fig. 3 (full circles), where the deviation of q from value 1 is plotted vs. the widening of the chaotic regime. It is obvious that the curve of this figure follows a quadratic law of the form q ¼ A þ Bp þ Cp2

In Fig. 4(a) the bifurcation diagram of (7) is shown for p = 1 and 0.9 6 q 6 3.1. To guarantee that the steady state condition is always achieved, we have plotted again only the last 200 values of 10 000 iterations. As it is evident from Fig. 4(a), there are two chaotic regimes just before and after q = 1, the second one occasionally interrupted by periodic orbits. The corresponding behaviour of the Lyapunov exponent is shown in Fig. 4(b). The two chaotic regimes of Fig. 4(a) correspond exactly to the two regimes of Fig. 4(b), where the Lyapunov exponent has positive values. There are also two periodic windows, a narrow one to the left of q = 1 and a second wide one after q = 1.5. There are also clear nullifications of the Lyapunov exponents in these periodic windows corresponding to period doublings. At q = 3 (nickel mean), there exists an orbit of period 2. At q = 2 (copper mean), an orbit of period 4 appears and finally at q = 1 (golden mean), there is an orbit of period 3. The last case is displayed in detail in Fig. 5(a) and (b).
4. Comments It has to be mentioned here that the existence of period doublings is allowed and not guaranteed by the possession of a negative Schwarzian derivative Sf. Using expression (5) and after some elementary calculations we obtain the explicit expression for Sf 2 f 000 3 f 00 6q2 Sf ¼ 0 ¼ <0 ð11Þ 0 f 2 f ðp þ 2qxÞ2
