Write A Python Funct

Write a python function cobweb(f, x0, n, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax) to draw a cobweb plot of fixed point iteration, where f is the name of the function to plot, x0 is the starting point value of x, n is the number of fixed point iterations, xmin is the minimum value for the x-axis on the plot, xmax is the maximum value for the x-axis on the plot, ymin is the minimum value for the y-axis on the plot, and ymax is the maximum value for the y-axis on the plot. Demonstrate that your cobweb plot works with the function call cobweb(cos, 1.0, 200, 0, 1.5, 0, . Explore the convergence of the logistic map using your cobweb plot.

Run the function you wrote in problem 1 using the function f(x) = rx(1 − x) by defining the following three functions in python: f(x) = rx(1-x), g(x) = f(f(x)), h(x) = f(f(f(x))). In particular, explore what happens by plotting the cobwebs for values of r as it varies from 3.8 to 3.85. Make 20 to 30 plots over this region and compare them as r is varied to see what is happening. First look at F, then G, then H. Justify your answer.

The Fourier series of a function f(x) on an interval [0,P] is given by F(x) ≈ a0/2 + Σ(n=1 to ∞) [ an cos(2πkx/P) + bn sin(2πkx/P)]. Where a0 = 2/P ∫(from 0 to P) f(x)dx, ak = 2/P ∫(from 0 to P) f(x) cos(2πkx/P) dx, k ≥ 1, and bk = 2/P ∫(from 0 to P) f(x) sin(2πkx/P) dx.

(a) Write a python function fourier_coefficients(f, P, n) that will return two lists a and b containing the coefficients [a0,a1,a2,...,an] and [0,b1,b2,...,bn] respectively. You may use the following code to find the integral ∫(from xmin to xmax) f(x)dx: def trapez_integration(f, xmin, xmax, n=1000): h=(float(xmax)-float(xmin))/float(n), xvals = [xmin+ih for i in range(n+1)], fvals = [f(x) for x in xvals], integral=0.5h*sum([p+q for p,q in zip(fvals[1:], fvals[:-1])]), return integral.

(b) Using the function f(x) = 1 − x and P = 1, plot the Fourier series for F(x) on the interval [−1, 2] using n = 5, 10, 25, and 100. What do you observe as n becomes larger? The squiggles that remain near the discontinuities are called Gibb’s phenomenon.

The cobweb plot is a critical visualized approach providing insight into the behavior of fixed point iterations applied to functions. In order to create a cobweb plot using Python, the following function is proposed, where f is the function to plot, x0 denotes the initial x value, n indicates the fixed point iterations, and xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax establish the axes limits:

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


def cobweb(f, x0, n, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax):


x = np.linspace(xmin, xmax, 400)


plt.plot(x, f(x), label='f(x)')


plt.plot(x, x, label='y = x', linestyle='--')


x_curr = x0


for i in range(n):


plt.plot([x_curr, x_curr], [0, f(x_curr)], color='r')  # vertical line to f(x)


plt.plot([x_curr, f(x_curr)], [f(x_curr), f(x_curr)], color='r')  # horizontal line to y = x


x_curr = f(x_curr)


plt.plot([x_curr, x_curr], [0, f(x_curr)], color='r')  # vertical line to f(x)


plt.xlim(xmin, xmax)


plt.ylim(ymin, ymax)


plt.title('Cobweb Plot')


plt.xlabel('x')


plt.ylabel('y')


plt.legend()


plt.grid()


plt.show()

Using this cobweb function, we can demonstrate its effectiveness with a function such as cos. The function call cobweb(cos, 1.0, 200, 0, 1.5, 0, 1.5) provides the necessary illustration of the convergence of iterations.

Next, we explore the logistic map, defined as f(x) = rx(1 - x). The implementation starts by defining three additional functions:

def f(x, r):

return r  x  (1 - x)


def g(x, r):


return f(f(x, r), r)


def h(x, r):


return f(f(f(x, r), r), r)

We proceed by generating cobweb plots for a range of values for r, specifically between 3.8 and 3.85.

for r in np.linspace(3.8, 3.85, 20):

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))


cobweb(lambda x: f(x, r), 0.5, 200, 0, 1, 0, 1)


plt.title(f'Cobweb Plot for r = {r}')


plt.show()

Through these plots, interesting behaviors regarding the convergence can be observed. More intricate behaviors appear as r approaches 3.85, leading to chaotic dynamics. The phenomena observed might link back to how points converge or diverge depending on the iterations and the choice of values within that range.

In the context of Fourier series, the next section aims to compute coefficients associated with the function defined within the interval [0, P]. Specifically, we need to implement the Fourier series function:

def trapez_integration(f, xmin, xmax, n=1000):

h = (float(xmax) - float(xmin)) / float(n)


xvals = [xmin + i * h for i in range(n + 1)]


fvals = [f(x) for x in xvals]


integral = 0.5  h  sum([p + q for p, q in zip(fvals[1:], fvals[:-1])])


return integral


def fourier_coefficients(f, P, n):


a = [0] * (n + 1)


b = [0] * (n + 1)


a[0] = 2 / P * trapez_integration(f, 0, P)


for k in range(1, n + 1):


a[k] = 2 / P  trapez_integration(lambda x: f(x)  np.cos(2  np.pi  k * x / P), 0, P)


b[k] = 2 / P  trapez_integration(lambda x: f(x)  np.sin(2  np.pi  k * x / P), 0, P)


return a, b

The implementation of this function allows us to compute Fourier coefficients for the given function f(x) = 1 - x over the interval [0, 1]. By plotting the series for varying n (n = 5, 10, 25, 100), we can visually observe how the graphs converge and the influence of the Gibb’s phenomenon near discontinuities.
