Abstract:
Simple coupled chains of logistic maps are considered.
The local behaviour of an iterated logistic map is well known,
but the global behaviours reported here for the coupled
chain are surprising and not intuitively obvious.
We see, for certain coupling strengths and inputs,
thresholding behaviour, smoothing behaviour and
edge detection. That these can coexist in the same
system is a paradox and is a
consequence of the `strongly nonlinear
signal processing' which these chains perform.
