Feigenbaum's Scaling Relation for Superstable Parameter Values: "Bifurcation Diagram Helper"
As the fixed points of the iterated function =f()=λ(1-) approach chaotic behavior with repeated period doubling, the superstable parameter value approaches its limiting value , known as the Feigenbaum point. As the value of (the order of the period-doubling bifurcation) increases, Feigenbaum's scaling relation between the three adjacent superstable parameter values approaches a universal limit known as Feigenbaum's constant[1–7], that is,
