Feigenbaum's First Constant

Index Feigenbaum's First Constant

The first Feigenbaum constant is the limiting ratio of each bifurcation interval to the next between every period doubling, of a one-parameter map where is a function parameterized by the bifurcation parameter. [1]

Calculus

Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape, and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Calculus

Complex plane

In mathematics, the complex plane is the plane formed by the complex numbers, with a Cartesian coordinate system such that the horizontal -axis, called the real axis, is formed by the real numbers, and the vertical -axis, called the imaginary axis, is formed by the imaginary numbers.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Complex plane

Complex quadratic polynomial

A complex quadratic polynomial is a quadratic polynomial whose coefficients and variable are complex numbers.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Complex quadratic polynomial

E (mathematical constant)

The number is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 that can be characterized in many ways. Feigenbaum's First Constant and e (mathematical constant) are mathematical constants.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and E (mathematical constant)

Geometry

Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Geometry

Limit of a sequence

As the positive integer n becomes larger and larger, the value n\times \sin\left(\tfrac1\right) becomes arbitrarily close to 1.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Limit of a sequence

Logistic map

The logistic map is a polynomial mapping (equivalently, recurrence relation) of degree 2, often referred to as an archetypal example of how complex, chaotic behaviour can arise from very simple nonlinear dynamical equations.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Logistic map

Mandelbrot set

The Mandelbrot set is a two-dimensional set with a relatively simple definition that exhibits great complexity, especially as it is magnified.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Mandelbrot set

Number line

In elementary mathematics, a number line is a picture of a straight line that serves as spatial representation of numbers, usually graduated like a ruler with a particular origin point representing the number zero and evenly spaced marks in either direction representing integers, imagined to extend infinitely.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Number line

Parameter

A parameter, generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system (meaning an event, project, object, situation, etc.). That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when identifying the system, or when evaluating its performance, status, condition, etc.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Parameter

Period-doubling bifurcation

In dynamical systems theory, a period-doubling bifurcation occurs when a slight change in a system's parameters causes a new periodic trajectory to emerge from an existing periodic trajectory—the new one having double the period of the original.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Period-doubling bifurcation

Pi

The number (spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. Feigenbaum's First Constant and Pi are mathematical constants.

See Feigenbaum's First Constant and Pi

Ratio

In mathematics, a ratio shows how many times one number contains another.
