RICH DYNAMICS IN SOME GENERALIZED DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS

There has been an increasing interest in the study of fractional discrete difference since Miller and Ross introduced the v-th fractional sum and the fractional integral was given as a fractional sum in 1989. It is known that fractional discrete difference equations hold discrete memory effects and can describe the long interaction of all the last states during evolution. Therefore the QR factorization algorithm described by Eckmann et al. in 1986 can not be directly applied to determine chaotic or nonchaotic behaviour in such a system, which becomes an interesting problem. Motivated by this, in this study, we propose a direct way to calculate the finite-time local largest Lyapunov exponent. Compared with those in the literature, we find that the test for determining the presence of chaos is reliable. Moreover, bifurcation diagrams which depends on the given fractional order parameter are given in Captuto like discrete Henon maps and Logistic maps, which was not discussed in the literature. A transient behaviour in chaotic fractional Logistic maps is also discovered.
