On generalized discrete Ricker map

In recent years, conventional Ricker maps have enjoyed widespread applications across crucial domains such as modeling and security. However, their limitation to a single changeable parameter poses constraints on their adaptability. This paper introduces a generalized form of the Ricker map, incorporating arbitrary powers, thus offering enhanced versatility compared to the traditional Ricker map. By introducing an additional parameter (arbitrary power), the map gains increased degrees of freedom, thereby accommodating a broader spectrum of applications. Consequently, the conventional Ricker map emerges as merely a special case within each proposed framework. This newfound parameter enhances system flexibility and elucidates the conventional system's performance across diverse contexts. Through numerous illustrations, we meticulously investigate the impact of the arbitrary power and equation parameters on equilibrium points, their positions, basin of attraction, stability conditions, and bifurcation diagrams, including the emergence of chaotic behavior.
