The Black Rabbits of Fibonacci

Abstract

In this note, we use a toy problem of detecting cycles of length two in a tent map to highlight some curious phenomena in the behavior of discrete dynamical systems. This work presents no new results or proofs, only computer experiments and illustrations. Thus, it serves as light reading and does not aim to be a scientific paper but is rather educational in nature. For this reason it is accompanied by numerous illustrations.
