44.1 Introduction to dynamics

The additional package dynamics includes several functions to create various graphical representations of discrete dynamical systems and fractals, and an implementation of the Runge-Kutta 4th-order numerical method for solving systems of differential equations.

To use the functions in this package you must first load it with load("dynamics").

Starting with Maxima 5.12, the dynamics package now uses the function plot2d to do the graphs. The commands that produce graphics (with the exception of julia and mandelbrot) now accept any options of plot2d, including the option to change among the various graphical interfaces, using different plot styles and colors, and representing one or both axes in a logarithmic scale. The old options domain, pointsize, xcenter, xradius, ycenter, yradius, xaxislabel and yaxislabel are not accepted in this new version.

All programs will now accept any variables names, and not just x and y as in the older versions. Two required parameters have changes in two of the programs: evolution2d now requires a list naming explicitely the two independent variables, and the horizontal range for orbits no longer requires a step size; the range should only specify the variable name, and the minimum and maximum values; the number of steps can now be changed with the option nticks.

44.2 Functions and Variables for dynamics

Function: chaosgame ([[x1, y1], …, [xm, ym]], [x0, y0], b, n, …, options, …)

Implements the so-called chaos game: the initial point (x0, y0) is plotted and then one of the m points [x1, y1], ..., [xm, ym] will be selected at random. The next point plotted will be on the segment from the previous point plotted to the point chosen randomly, at a distance from the random point which will be b times that segment’s length. The procedure is repeated n times.

Function: evolution (F, y0, n, …, options, …)

Draws n+1 points in a two-dimensional graph, where the horizontal coordinates of the points are the integers 0, 1, 2, …, n, and the vertical coordinates are the corresponding values y(n) of the sequence defined by the recurrence relation

        y(n+1) = F(y(n))

With initial value y(0) equal to y0. F must be an expression that depends only on one variable (in the example, it depend on y, but any other variable can be used), y0 must be a real number and n must be a positive integer.

Function: evolution2d ([F, G], [u, v], [u0, y0], n, …, options, …)

Shows, in a two-dimensional plot, the first n+1 points in the sequence of points defined by the two-dimensional discrete dynamical system with recurrence relations

        u(n+1) = F(u(n), v(n))    v(n+1) = G(u(n), v(n))

With initial values u0 and v0. F and G must be two expressions that depend only on two variables, u and v, which must be named explicitely in a list.

Function: ifs ([r1, …, rm], [A1, …, Am], [[x1, y1], …, [xm, ym]], [x0, y0], n, …, options, …)

Implements the Iterated Function System method. This method is similar to the method described in the function chaosgame, but instead of shrinking the segment from the current point to the randomly chosen point, the 2 components of that segment will be multiplied by the 2 by 2 matrix Ai that corresponds to the point chosen randomly.

The random choice of one of the m attractive points can be made with a non-uniform probability distribution defined by the weights r1, …, rm. Those weights are given in cumulative form; for instance if there are 3 points with probabilities 0.2, 0.5 and 0.3, the weights r1, r2 and r3 could be 2, 7 and 10.

Function: orbits (F, y0, n1, n2, [x, x0, xf, xstep], …, options, …)

Draws the orbits diagram for a family of one-dimensional discrete dynamical systems, with one parameter x; that kind of diagram is used to study the bifurcations of an one-dimensional discrete system.

The function F(y) defines a sequence with a starting value of y0, as in the case of the function evolution, but in this case that function will also depend on a parameter x that will take values in the interval from x0 to xf with increments of xstep. Each value used for the parameter x is shown on the horizontal axis. The vertical axis will show the n2 values of the sequence y(n1+1),..., y(n1+n2+1) obtained after letting the sequence evolve n1 iterations.

Function: rk (ODE, var, initial, domain)
Function: rk ([ODE1, …, ODEm], [v1, …, vm], [init1, …, initm], domain)

The first form solves numerically one first-order ordinary differential equation, and the second form solves a system of m of those equations, using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method. var represents the dependent variable. ODE must be an expression that depends only on the independent and dependent variables and defines the derivative of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable.

The independent variable is specified with domain, which must be a list of four elements as, for instance:

[t, 0, 10, 0.1]

the first element of the list identifies the independent variable, the second and third elements are the initial and final values for that variable, and the last element sets the increments that should be used within that interval.

If m equations are going to be solved, there should be m dependent variables v1, v2, …, vm. The initial values for those variables will be init1, init2, …, initm. There will still be just one independent variable defined by domain, as in the previous case. ODE1, …, ODEm are the expressions that define the derivatives of each dependent variable in terms of the independent variable. The only variables that may appear in those expressions are the independent variable and any of the dependent variables. It is important to give the derivatives ODE1, …, ODEm in the list in exactly the same order used for the dependent variables; for instance, the third element in the list will be interpreted as the derivative of the third dependent variable.

The program will try to integrate the equations from the initial value of the independent variable until its last value, using constant increments. If at some step one of the dependent variables takes an absolute value too large, the integration will be interrupted at that point. The result will be a list with as many elements as the number of iterations made. Each element in the results list is itself another list with m+1 elements: the value of the independent variable, followed by the values of the dependent variables corresponding to that point.

Function: staircase (F, y0, n, …, options, …)

Draws a staircase diagram for the sequence defined by the recurrence relation

        y(n+1) = F(y(n))

The interpretation and allowed values of the input parameters is the same as for the function evolution. A staircase diagram consists of a plot of the function F(y), together with the line G(y) = y. A vertical segment is drawn from the point (y0, y0) on that line until the point where it intersects the function F. From that point a horizontal segment is drawn until it reaches the point (y1, y1) on the line, and the procedure is repeated n times until the point (yn, yn) is reached.

Options

Each option is a list of two or more items. The first item is the name of the option, and the remainder comprises the arguments for the option.

The options accepted by the functions evolution, evolution2d, staircase, orbits, ifs and chaosgame are the same as the options for plot2d. In addition to those options, orbits accepts and extra option pixels that sets up the maximum number of different points that will be represented in the vertical direction.

Examples

If your system is slow, you’ll have to reduce the number of iterations in the following examples. And if the dots appear too small in your monitor, you might want to try a different style, such as [style,[points,0.8]].
