Numerical error

Numerical error is the error that arises in numerical computations due to limitations in representing real numbers and performing arithmetic operation on computers. These errors commonly appear in software engineering and mathematics.

Time series of the Tent map for the parameter m=2.0 which shows numerical error: "the plot of time series (plot of x variable with respect to number of iterations) stops fluctuating and no values are observed after n=50". Parameter m= 2.0, initial point is random.
