Finite-dimensional maps describing the dynamics of a logistic equation with delay
This article discusses a family of maps that are used in the numerical simulation of a logistic equation with delay. This equation and presented maps are widely used in problems of mathematical ecology as models of the dynamics of populations. The paper compares the dynamic properties of the trajectories of these mappings and the original equation with delay. It is shown that the behavior of the solutions of maps can be quite complicated, while the logistic equation with delay has only a stable equilibrium state or cycle.
