Critical Points of the Multiplier Map for the Quadratic Family

Pages 337-345 | Published online: 21 Jun 2019
 

Abstract

The multiplier λn of a periodic orbit of period n can be viewed as a (multiple-valued) algebraic function on the space of all complex quadratic polynomials pc(z)=z2+c. We provide a numerical algorithm for computing critical points of this function (i.e., points where the derivative of the multiplier with respect to the complex parameter c vanishes). We use this algorithm to compute critical points of λn up to period n = 10.

Notes

1 A Riemann mapping of a simply connected domain is a conformal diffeomorphism of the unit disk onto that domain.
