Existence and Stability of 3-Cycles in Quadratic Maps

Dynamical Systems 2026-01-22 v1

Abstract

For a discrete dynamical system on R\R generated by a quadratic function, we show, using elementary computations, that the existence, number, and stability of 3-cycles are determined by a single parameter depending on the coefficients of the function.
