Question 2381: One Exact Capacity-Limited Discrete Increment

Original question and givens

Use exactly the fixed discrete increment model next=x+r*x*(1−x/K), with K>0, 0≤r≤1 and 0≤x≤K, at fixed time steps. Reduce exact rational outputs and omit /1 for integers. This is neither another logistic-map convention nor a continuous logistic solution; a finite orbit proves no stability, convergence or empirical population fit. current=5/5, rate=0/1, capacity=5/1. Give (current,rate,capacity,next).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

0≤r=0≤1; K=5>0; 0≤x=1≤K

T(x)=x+r·x·(1−x/K)

x/K at step1 := div(1, 5)

x/K at step1 = 1/5

1−x/K at step1 := sub(1, 1/5)

1−x/K at step1 = 4/5

x(1−x/K) at step1 := mul(1, 4/5)

x(1−x/K) at step1 = 4/5

increment at step1 := mul(0, 4/5)

increment at step1 = 0

next state at step1 := sum(1, 0)

next state at step1 = 1

T(x)−x=r·x·(1−x/K)≥0; K−T(x)=(K−x)(1−r·x/K)≥0
