(a) Using the equation of the logistic map, list the first 8 values of the iterate x+|:
Use r = 0.4 and xXo = 0.4.
(b) Explain the four rules for the motion of boids and their significance.
(c) Write a nonlinear dynamics model for the populations of the two species; foxes
and rabbits that are interdependent. Explain each term in the equations of your
model. Where will be the fixed point of the system located?
(d) A one dimensional cellular automata has a neighborhood radis of 1. The allowed
states of the cells are 0 and 1. Using the sinplified rule that CA yields a l only if
the sum of states in the cell's neighborhood is either l or 2; write the rule table
in its expanded form. Use the initial state of the automata to be "10" and give
the next 4 iterates of the automata.
(e) Apply the rules of Game of Life to find the how the following gliders evolve in
time. Show only the first two steps in the evolution process.

(f) What are autonomous agents? Give an example of self-organized behavior dis
played by autonomous agents.
(g) What is a bifurcation? How can chaos be predicted based on it? Explain with
the help of Feigenbaum constant.

(e) In the state-space plot figures shown below, determine if the dynamical system
is showing fixed-point, limit-cycle or chaotic behavior. If behavior is fixed point
then mention whether it is stable or not and if behavior is limit cycle then mention
what is its period.
