1. Introduction
The chaotic behavior is one important aspect of dynamic systems. Much attention has
been paid to the topic on discrete dynamic since the 1970’s (May and Robert 1976;
Hénon 1976; Lozi 1978; Zeraoulia 2005; Gottwald and Melbourne 2009; Bououden and
Abdelouahab 2021). Chaos has great potential use in many technological disciplines like
physics, mechanics, electronics, biology, economy, astronomy, meteorology, optimiza-
tion,. . . etc. (Zhong and Ayrom 1985; Bischi, Gardini, and Kopel 2000; Agiza, Hegazi, and
Elsadany 2001; Illing 2009; Lin, Wong, and Chen 2013; Abdelouahab and Hamri 2014;
Bououden and Abdelouahab 2018, 2020; Benkouider et al. 2020; Bououden et al. 2021;
Benkouider et al. 2021; Boudjerida, Abdelouahab, and Lozi 2022, 2023).
Fractional Calculus can be traced back to the development of classical calculus itself,
but its development in the primary stage was slow due to the lack of geometric interpre-
tations and applications. Up until recent decades, researchers have noted that fractional
calculus has superior characteristics to classical one. Nowadays, with the rapid develop-
ment of numerical algorithms fractional calculus becomes the subject of intense theoretical
research and practical applications (Miller and Ross 1989), and researchers have paid great
attention to fractional discrete calculus (Ferhan and Paul 2007; Abdeljawad 2011; Chen,
Luo, and Zhou 2011), especially fractional-order chaotic maps due to its potential appli-
cations in various engineering fields, because discrete fractional-order maps are sensitive
not only to small perturbations in parameters and initial conditions, but also to fractional-
order variations, which is their main advantage (Guo-Chang and Dumitru 2014; Hu 2014;
Shukla and Sharma 2017; Khennaoui et al. 2019; Jouini et al. 2019; Bououden, Abde-
louahab, and Jarad 2021). The nonexistence of non-constant exact periodic solutions for
fractional-order systems was initially reported (Tavazoei and Haeri 2009; Tavazoei 2010),
this property limits the applicability of fractional order systems for modeling certain real
phenomenon knowing to have periodicity, on the other hand, long memory makes numer-
ical computation very expensive in terms of time. A modified fractional order derivative
(called fractional-order derivative with fixed memory length) was proposed to overcome
this issue (Abdelouahab and Hamri 2016; Bourafa, Abdelouahab, and Lozi 2021). It has
been demonstrated that the proposed derivative preserves periodicity and is numerically
inexpensive. this modification is justified by the fact that the memory term for many mod-
els in real-world applications is short. For example, primary or active memory, which
stores a small amount of information in the mind and makes it readily available for a
limited period, can hold only seven items at once, plus or minus two (Miller 1956) and
most stored information will be lost within approximately 20 to 30 seconds (Atkinson and
Shiffrin 1971). Another example is archiving period, where documents are generally kept : 7
years for financial documents, 10 years after the date of death of the patient for medical
records, 3 years after the end of termination of employment for personnel records, and 5
years after closing a case for case files Law (Archive-it 2023). Like continuous fractional-
order systems, discrete fractional-order systems also face delicate periodicity issues and
numerical cost (Diblík, Feŏkan, and Pospisil 2015; Jonnalagadda 2020; Feŏkan 2020;
Pospís̆il 2021).
For these reasons, we propose a map with a fixed memory length. For these reasons, we
propose and analyze in this paper the fractional logistic map with fixed memory length. In
the next section, we introduce the basic definitions and the preliminaries of discrete frac-
tional calculus. In Section 3, we propose and analyze the fractional logistic maps, which are
analyzed by means of bifurcations diagrams. In Section 4, to distinguish between chaotic
and regular behavior of the fractional logistic map with fixed memory length, we use the
0–1 test method. Finally, conclusions are shown in the last section.
Definition 2.1 (Miller and Ross (1989)): Let u : Nd −→ R and v > 0. Then, the fractional
sum of v order is defined by

where d is the starting point, σ (s) = s + 1 and t (v) is the falling function defined in terms
of the Gamma function as

xn = xn+1 − xn
= axn (1 − xn ) − xn , (9)
Using the Caputo-like delta difference with d as the starting point, the fractional-order
difference of (9) is given by
c
vd x(t) = ax(t − 1 + v)(1 − x(t − 1 + v)) − x(t − 1 + v), (10)

xn = x0 + (axj−1 (1 − xj−1 ) − xj−1 ). (12)
(v) j=1 (n − j + 1)
For v = 1, the discrete fractional map (12) can be reduced to the classical one (8).
Compared with the map of the integer order (8), the fractional one (12) has a discrete
kernel function. xn depends on the past information x0 , x1 , . . . , xn−1 . As a result, the mem-
ory effects of the discrete maps mean that their present state of evolution depends on all
past states (Guo-Chang and Dumitru 2014). Figure 2 presents different behaviors of the
trajectories of the map (12) for different values of v. When v = 1, we obtain the bifurcation
diagram as in Figure 1 (Guo-Chang and Dumitru 2014).
For the reason mentioned in section 1 we propose the fractional logistic map with fixed
memory length as follow

n
xn = x0 + (axj−1 (1 − xj−1 ) − xj−1 ) if nM

the interval 2.43 ≤ a < 3.06 it converges to a stable cycle of period-2. When a = 3.06,
the second bifurcation occurs from the cycle of period-2 to a stable cycle of period-4
(Period-doubling bifurcation). Then follows a series of bifurcation of the type period-
doubling bifurcation until a = 3.2 when the chaotic behavior appears. When 3.2 < a < 3.6,
the map (13) is chaotic.
In this following, we will study the effect of the memory length M on behavior of
the map, we will choose two values for the memory of length M and then plot the
corresponding bifurcation diagrams.
From the Figure 5, we notice that the logistic map with fixed memory length for
M = 100 remains stable for 2.2 < a < 2.43 while the map for M = 200 is stable when

2.2 < a < 2.4. From the figure, we observe that the logistic map with fixed memory length
for M = 100 remains chaotic for 3.2 < a < 3.6. The map for M = 200 shows chaotic
behavior when 3.18 < a < 3.58. We conclude that as we change the length M, the regimes
bifurcation diagrams represented in Figure 5 are changed.
To prove the validity of our claim in the section 1 we provide the following Table 1 that
presents the time taken to obtain the trajectory of fractional logistic map and that taken to
obtain the trajectory of fractional logistic map with fixed memory length.
Each program was implemented in Matlab (MathWorks) and all the programs were run
on a 2.53 GHz, i3 processor with 4 GB of random access memory.
The Table 1 shows that the preference is given to the fractional logistic map with fixed
memory length and this is due to the large difference between the time taken to obtain its
trajectory and that taken to obtain the trajectory of fractional logistic map.

Finally, using the correlation method, we calculate the asymptotic growth rate k, which is
defined by the median value of correlation coefficient kc (k = median(kc )) where
cov(ξ , χ )
kc = √ ∈ [−1, 1], (15)
var(ξ )var(χ )
where ξ = (1, 2, . . . , ncut ), χ = (Dc (1), Dc (2), . . . , Dc (cut)), ncut = round(N/10)), and
Dc (n) is the modified mean square displacement, can be defined by

Dc (n) = Mc (n) − (E(φ(xj )))2 , (16)

Hence the system is chaotic when k approaches 1, while it becomes periodic or quasi-
periodic (regular dynamics) when k approaches 0.
The results of 0–1 test of the fractional logistic map with fixed memory length when
fractional-order v = 0.5 and the memory length M = 100 are presented in Figure 6.

Where we see the trajectories of pc and qc in plane (pc − qc ) for tow different values of
bifurcation parameter a. When a = 3.3, the behavior of trajectory in the (pc − qc ) space
is like Brownian motion, this means that the fractional logistic map with fixed memory
length has chaotic behavior (see Figure 6(a)), whereas when a = 2.2 the trajectory in the
(pc − qc ) space is bounded, it means that the map is not chaotic (regular) (see Figure 6(b)).
In Figure 7, we plot the asymptotic growth rate k versus c. When a = 3.3, we see that the
asymptotic growth rate k equals 0.9975, it is close to 1, this means that the fractional logis-
tic map with fixed memory length is chaotic (see Figure 7(a)), while when a = 2.2 the
asymptotic growth rate k equals −0.025, it is close to 0, implies the map is regular (see
Figure 7(b)).

5. Conclusions
This paper reported the results of a study of the discrete fractional logistic map with fixed
memory length using the delta difference of fractional order. The main difference between
it and the discrete fractional logistic map is that it has a fixed memory length and this
is what makes it more practical. The dynamic of the discrete fractional logistic map with
fixed memory length is analyzed by means of bifurcations diagram. Based on the obtained
results, we see that the dynamic of the discrete fractional logistic map with fixed memory
length depends on the coefficient a, the difference order v and the length of the memory M.
We also concluded that the fixed memory length enables us to perform calculations more
quickly and calculate more iteration numbers, and it is more practical in that it does not
require a long memory.
