the name being due to the tent-like shape of the graph of f μ. For the values of the parameter μ within 0 and 2, f μ maps the unit interval [0, 1] into itself, thus defining a discrete-time dynamical system on it (equivalently, a recurrence relation). In particular, iterating a point x 0 in [0, 1] gives rise to a sequence :
Cobweb plot of the Gauss map for = and =. This shows an 8-cycle. This shows an 8-cycle. In mathematics , the Gauss map (also known as Gaussian map [ 1 ] or mouse map ), is a nonlinear iterated map of the reals into a real interval given by the Gaussian function :
The golden-section search is a technique for finding an extremum (minimum or maximum) of a function inside a specified interval. For a strictly unimodal function with an extremum inside the interval, it will find that extremum, while for an interval containing multiple extrema (possibly including the interval boundaries), it will converge to one of them.
An RR tachograph is a graph of the numerical value of the RR-interval versus time. In the context of RR tachography, a Poincaré plot is a graph of RR(n) on the x-axis versus RR(n + 1) (the succeeding RR interval) on the y-axis, i.e. one takes a sequence of intervals and plots each interval against the following interval.

A cobweb diagram of the logistic map, showing chaotic behaviour for most values of r > 3.57 Logistic function f (blue) and its iterated versions f 2, f 3, f 4 and f 5 for r = 3.5. For example, for any initial value on the horizontal axis, f 4 gives the value of the iterate four iterations later.
Thus the function g(x) = f(x) − x is a continuous real valued function which is positive at x = 0 and negative at x = 1. By the intermediate value theorem, there is some point x 0 with g(x 0) = 0, which is to say that f(x 0) − x 0 = 0, and so x 0 is a fixed point. The open interval does not have the fixed-point property.
Namely, given a surface X in Euclidean space R 3, the Gauss map is a map N: X → S 2 (where S 2 is the unit sphere) such that for each p in X, the function value N(p) is a unit vector orthogonal to X at p. The Gauss map is named after Carl F. Gauss. The Gauss map can be defined (globally) if and only if the surface is orientable, in which case ...
which is a continuous function from the open interval (−1,1) to itself. Since x = 1 is not part of the interval, there is not a fixed point of f(x) = x. The space (−1,1) is convex and bounded, but not closed. On the other hand, the function f does have a fixed point for the closed interval [−1,1], namely f(1) = 1.
