Abstract: | ![]() For suitably defined largeN, we express Feigenbaum's equation as a singular Schroder functional equation whose solution is obtained using a scaling ansatz. In the limit of infiniteN certain self-consistency conditions on the scaled Schroder solution lead to an essentially singular solution of Feigenbaum's equation with a length scale factor of  0.0333 and. a limiting feigenvalue of   30.50, in agreement with Eckmann and Wittwer's value of =0.0333831... and their conjectured estimate of   30. |
