An exact analysis of the bifurcation points in the Verhulst process reveals a law of basic importance for nonlinear phenomena. This concerns the lengths of the parameter intervals in which a particular period is stable. The intervals are shortened at each period doubling by a factor which approaches a universal value as the period increases. This number is now called the "Feigenbaum number". 6, record 3, English, - branch%20point

(polymer chemistry) les points de branchement sont indiqués par l'origine et l'extrémité de la ligne verticale. Si l'origine est inconnue, la ligne prend naissance en «p» de «poly», si «poly» est utilisé, ou à la première parenthèse (crochet) si l'on emploie l'indice inférieur «n».
