Henon Strange, by Brian Meloon. Copyright © the University of Minnesota Geometry Center. The Henon map is the two-dimensional analogue of the logistic equation

H(x,y)=(x²–a*y+c,x),

where a and c are constants. The picture shows a portion of the locus of points where the rate of escape of a point under iteration is the same going forwards and backwards (using the inverse map).
