NAME

       gen1d - generate time series from a one-dimensional map

SYNOPSIS

       gen1d -help
         or
       gen1d  [-points integer] [-skip integer] [-r double] [-aux
              double] [-x0 double] [-func string]

DESCRIPTION

       A time series data set is generated by  a  one-dimensional
       map according to the specified options.  See the MAPS sec-
       tion of the manual page for details of what maps are  sup-
       ported.   User  defined  maps  can  be  added  to the file
       maps1d.c, but you must recompile the program.

OPTIONS

       -points integer
              Number of points to plot.

       -skip integer
              Number of initial points to skip.

       -r double
              Value for the r parameter.

       -aux double
              Auxiliary map parameter.

       -x0 double
              Initial value for x.

       -func string
              Map function to use (one of 'log',  'tent',  'sin',
              or 'gauss').

MAPS

       The following four one-dimensional maps are allowed:

       Logistic Map:
              x(t+1) = 4 * r * x(t) * (1.0 - x(t))

       Tent Map:
              x(t+1) = (x(t) <= 0.5) ? 2 * r * x(t) : 2r * (1.0 -
              x(t))

       Sine Map:
              x(t+1) = sin(x(t) * PI * aux * 2 * r) / 2 + 0.5

       Gaussian Map:
              x(t+1) = r * exp(-aux * (x(t)  -  0.5)  *  (x(t)  -
              0.5))

       See  the  file  "maps1d.c"  to see how to add user-defined

       maps.

MISCELLANY

       Use a plotting program (such as gnuplot) or a  spreadsheet
       to plot the data.

BUGS

       No  sanity  checks  are performed to make sure that any of
       the options make sense.
