Discrete map with memory from fractional differential equation of arbitrary positive order

Derivatives of fractional order with respect to time describe long-term memory effects. Using nonlinear differential equation with Caputo fractional derivative of arbitrary order α>0, we obtain discrete maps with power-law memory. These maps are generalizations of well-known universal map. The memory in these maps means that their present state is determined by all past states with power-law forms of weights. Discrete map equations are obtained by using the equivalence of the Cauchy-type problem for fractional differential equation and the nonlinear Volterra integral equation of the second kind.
