Logistic Growth Lab

Explore the discrete logistic update P[t+1] = P[t] + r · P[t] · (1 − P[t] ÷ D). Adjust parameters and compare how tiny changes in initial population can diverge before settling.

Parameters


Tip: r near 3 and above can yield oscillations or chaos in the discrete map before convergence, depending on scaling. Try r between 2.6 and 3.2.
