Almost Sure Escape from the Unit Interval under the Logistic Map

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider the logistic map defined on \(\mathbb{R}\) by \(f_a(x)= ax(1- x)\) with \(a> 4\). The interesting part of the dynamics of \(f_a\) takes place in the Cantor set \(\Lambda_a= \bigcap_{n\geq 0} f^{-n}_a([0, 1])\). They prove in a short and elementary way that the Lebesgue measure of \(\Lambda_a\) is zero. Then, they deduce a rough upper estimate on the mean escape time \(E(T_a)\) where \(T_a(x)= \min\{n\geq 1, f^n_a(x)\not\in [0,1]\}\) and \(x\in [0,1]\).
