Global stability for the 2-dimensional logistic map

Abstract: For the delayed logistic equation

x_{n + 1} = a x_{n} (a - x_{n - 1})

it is well known that the nontrivial fixed point is locally stable for

1 < a l e q 2

, and unstable for

a > 2

. We prove that for

1 < a l e q 2

the fixed point is globally stable, in the sense that it is locally stable and attracts all points of

S

, where

S

contains those

(x_{0}, x_{1}) i n m a t h b b R_{+}^{2}

, for which the sequence

l e f t l b r a c e x_{n} i g h t b r a c e s u b s e t m a t h b b R_{+}

. The proof is a combination of analytical and reliable numerical methods.
