Logistic Map Approximator (Neural Network)
This model approximates the logistic map equation:
It is trained using a simple feedforward neural network to learn chaotic dynamics across different values of r ∈ [2.5, 4.0].
Model Details
- Framework: PyTorch
- Input:
x ∈ [0, 1]
r ∈ [2.5, 4.0]
- Output:
x_next (approximation of the next value in sequence)
- Loss Function: Mean Squared Error (MSE)
- Architecture: 2 hidden layers (ReLU), trained for 100 epochs
Performance
The model closely approximates x_next for a wide range of r values, including the chaotic regime.
