The Henon Map

The Henon map discrete time dynamical system.

You are now following this Submission

This is a simple implementation of the Henon system. It is a discrete time system that maps a point $(x_n,y_n)$ in the following fashion:
$x_{n+1}=1-a x_n^2 + y_n$
$y_{n+1}=b x_n$
Where a and b are the system parameters.
This script computes 10000 iterations for
a=1.4 and b=0.3.
