Question 2366: A Short Exact Orbit of the Specified Logistic Increment Model

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. initial=15/25, rate=0/1, capacity=5/1, updates=2. Give (initial,rate,capacity,update count,orbit including initial). With zero updates retain just the initial value.

x/K at step1 := div(3/5, 5)

x/K at step1 = 3/25

1−x/K at step1 := sub(1, 3/25)

1−x/K at step1 = 22/25

x(1−x/K) at step1 := mul(3/5, 22/25)
