Hi, I'm new to Mathematica and I'm having troubles in understanding how to evaluate a custom function that I applied NestList to. Here's my function:
f[x_, m_] := m*x /; 0 <= x < 1/2
f[x_, m_] := m*(1 - x) /; 1/2 <= x <= 1
x = 0.2
m = 2
Next I got NestList like this:
NestList[f, {0.2, 2}, 4]
which have given me following output:
{{0.2, 2}, f[{0.2, 2}], f[f[{0.2, 2}]], f[f[f[{0.2, 2}]]],
f[f[f[f[{0.2, 2}]]]]}
Now instead of printing f f f .... f f I'd like to see actual values of the function f after evaluation such as {value 1, value 2, value 3, ..., value n}. Moreover I'd like to plot such a NestList where values in NestList would be coordinates of n points on axis.
Any help, advice or example would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I'm studying Dynamic systems and trying to compute and plot so called "tent map"
