Abstract
The paper presents a complementary view on some of the phenomena
related to the bifurcation structure of unimodal maps. An
approximate renormalization theory for the period-doubling cascade
is developed, and a mapping procedure is established that accounts
directly for the box-within-a-box structure of the total
bifurcation set. This presents a picture in which the homoclinic
orbit bifurcations act as a skeleton for the bifurcational set. At
the same time, experimental results on continued subharmonic
generation for piezoelectrically amplified sound waves, predating
the Feigenbaum theory, are called into attention.
