Note

The Verhulst process

$v_k : x\mapsto kx(1-x)$

is equivalent to the process

$f_c: z\mapsto z^2+c$

by means of a linear transformation $\Phi$ , i.e.

$\Phi^{-1} \circ v_k \circ \Phi = f_c$

Just let

$\Phi: x \mapsto \tfrac{1}{2}-\tfrac{1}{k}x$

and observe that the Parameters $c$ and $k$ are connected via

$1-4c \,=\, (k-1)^2$
