Fractional q-deformed chaotic maps: A weight function approach.

The fractional derivative holds long-time memory effects or non-locality. It successfully depicts the dynamical systems with long-range interactions. However, it becomes challenging to investigate chaos in the deformed fractional discrete-time systems. This study turns to fractional quantum calculus on the time scale and reports chaos in fractional q-deformed maps. The discrete memory kernels are used, and a weight function approach is proposed for fractional modeling. Rich q-deformed dynamics are demonstrated, which shows the methodology's efficiency.
