feigenbaum constants
Feigenbaum constants, named after mathematician Mitchell Feigenbaum, refer to two mathematical constants that appear in the study of chaos theory. The constants describe the universal patterns that emerge in certain nonlinear dynamical systems as they undergo repeated bifurcations. These constants provide insights into the behavior and predictability of chaotic systems.
