Summary: Nonlinear dynamics of xn+1=λ {4xn (1-xn)}q is studied in this paper. Different from the logistic map (q=1), in the case of q<q1=(33-3)/12=0.22871, there exists subcritical bifurcation because the Schwarzian derivative cannot preserve its sign at the fixed point. Moreover, when q<q2=0.17585 and λ=1.0, a stable period 1 orbit appears due to stabilization of the non-zero fixed point. Intermittent chaos due to the type 3 of intermittency is also found in this system.
