Abstract: A family of non-conjugate chaotic maps generalizing the well-known logistic function is defined, and some of its basic properties studied. A simple formula for the Lyapunov exponents of all the maps contained in this family is given based on the construction of conjugacies. Moreover, it is shown that, despite the dissimilarity of their polynomial expressions, all the maps possess the same invariant density. Other algebraic properties of the family, which shows some relationship with the set of Tschebysheff polynomials, are also investigated.
