On \(q\)-deformed logistic maps (Q2125207)

This paper is devoted to the study of \(q\)-deformations of the logistic family of maps with either a single or several \(q\)-deformations. The author first considers the stability of fixed points of these maps and characterizes when they are locally asymptotically stable and globally asymptotically stable. The complexity of \(q\)-deformations of maps in the logistic family is studied by computing their topological entropy. In the several \(q\)-deformations case, the author observes Parrondo's paradox, according to which the composition of dynamically simple maps results in complex dynamical behavior. Parrondo's paradox was also observed by \textit{J. Cánovas} and \textit{M. Muñoz-Guillermo} [Phys. Lett., A 383, No. 15, 1742--1754 (2019; Zbl 1476.62268)].
