N2 - This letter demonstrates that oligopoly competition can exhibit topological chaos by applying Mitra's sufficient condition. To overcome the computational challenges arising from the lack of a simple closed-form expression for the modal point, we develop a resultant-based method. Our results show that, for a sufficiently large number of firms, there must exist parameter values that guarantee topological chaos.
