Feigenbaum poskytl matematický důkaz tohoto faktu a ukázal, že stejné chování a stejná konstanta se objevuje v široké třídě matematických funkcí vedoucích k chaosu.
Mitchell Jay Feigenbaum / ˈ f aɪ ɡ ə n ˌ b aʊ m/ (December 19, 1944 – June 30, 2019) was an American mathematical physicist whose pioneering studies in chaos theory led to the discovery of the Feigenbaum constants.
Mitchell got a PhD in physics from MIT under Francis Low, so I changed his profession to mmathematical physicist. His lab at Rockefeller was called Laboratory of Mathematical Physics.
When Feigenbaum began his career in the early 1970s, the term “chaos theory” did not exist. Generations of scientists dating back to Isaac Newton had worked on problems related to the predictability of complex systems, such as the orbits of…
