Mira's Equation has the form:
xn+1 = 2xn /(a2- xn2 ) - xn-1 ,
This equation has an equilibrium point p = (a2+ 1)1/2 .
This equation possesses an invariant
I(xn , xn-1 ) = xn2 xn-1 2 - a2( xn2 + xn-1 2 ) + 2 xn xn-1 .
Shown below is the surface of the invariant for the specific
value a = 2.
Here is the
