What is the Myrberg-Feigenbaum point of family ?

name edit

  • MF = the Myrberg-Feigenbaum point
  • the Feigenbaum Point[1][2]
  • Accumulation point of period-doubling cascade[3]

properities edit

The Myrberg-Feigenbaum point is

  • a point c of parameter plane
  • a Misiurewicz point
  • a biaccesible point. It means that it is a landing point of 2 external rays with irrational angles. The rays are not spiralling at all (no turn), because if the Misiurewicz point is a real number, it does not turn at all
  • boundary point between chaotic (-2 < c < MF) and periodic region (MF< c < 1/4)[4]
  • the accumulation point is the limit of the disk centers
  • it is a limit of a series of bifurcation parameters ( root points   ) of period-2n component. In other words period-doubling cascade finishes at the Myrberg-Feigenbaum point.
  • it is a limit of a series of band-merging points  . In other words a period-doubling cascade of chaotic bands also finishes, from the opposite side, at the MF point.[5]

What external rays land on the Myrberg-Feigenbaum point ? edit

Decimal values of external angles t of rays that lands on the Myrberg-Feigenbaum point are (0.412454... , 0.58755...)

How to compute angles of external rays ? edit

To compute angles one can use 2 methods:

  • find a limit of a series of bifurcation parameters ( root points   ) of period-2n component.
  • find a limit of a series of band-merging points  :


How to compute limit of angles landing on bifurcation parameters ? edit

The candidate upper external angle is obtained by using the substitution (string replacing): 0 -> 01 and 1 -> 10 repeatedly:

  • 0
  • 01
  • 0110
  • 01101001
  • 0110100110010110
  • ...

But it is not known whether the rays actually lands; maybe M is not locally connected at the Feigenbaum point and some long decorations are shielding it from external rays.

One can compute it using Maxima CAS program :


kill(all);
remvalue(all);

f(x):=if (x=0) then [0,1] else [1,0];
compile(all);

a:[];
a:endcons([0],a);

for n:2 thru 10 step 1 do (
   a:endcons([],a),
   for x in a[n-1] do (
      a[n]:endcons(first(f(x)),a[n]),
      a[n]:endcons(second(f(x)),a[n])),
      print(n,a[n])
);
