Hénon

Calculate and display the "Hénon" map / attractor

The map was introduced by Michel Hénon as a simplified model of the Poincaré section of the Lorenz model. It is defined by the following equations:

$$\{\begin{array}{l}{x}_{n+1}=1-a{x}_n^2+y_n\\ y_{n+1}=b{x}_n\end{array}$$

Where $x_n$ and $y_n$ are the coordinates at the nth iteration, and a and b are parameters. The map exhibits chaotic behavior for certain values of a and b, and its strange attractor is a classic example of deterministic chaos.
