Chaos

Chaos, by Alexis Wilke and Benoit Ambry

We applied the well known formula f ( n ) = a × n × ( 1 - n ).
The formula was run 1500 times for each value of a from about 1.5 to 4.2 with n starting at 0.0001.

For those coming by about the Feigenbaum's number, there are 5 x 60 digits after the decimal point:

4.

You can also watch a movie of the curves drawn one by one in an AVI. I Suggest you download it on your hard disk first, then play it. It is pretty large (8.3Mb).
