Details

The snapshots show several situations.

Snapshot 1: periodic behavior for

Snapshot 2: period-2 for

Snapshot 3: period-3 for

Snapshot 4: period-5 for

Snapshot 5: chaos for

Snapshots 6 and 7: finally back to period-2 and periodic behavior for and , respectively.

This bifurcation diagram (a remerging Feigenbaum tree) given below was obtained by the authors using a separate program that draws on the present Demonstration. A close look at this bifurcation diagram confirms the findings seen in the various snapshots given above.
