Interpretation:
For the functional equation g(x) = αg2(xα), arise in renormalization analysis of period doubling.
If g(x)≈1+c2x2 for small x, then solve for c2 and α
For g(x)≈1+c2x2+c4x4, solve equation for c2, c4 and α, and compare the results with exact values c2≈-1.527..., c4≈0.1048... and α≈-2.5029...

Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
α=−2.73205 and c2=−1.36603
α=−2.534... c2=−1.52224... c4=0.12761... and these are compared with exact values of α,c2 and c4
Explanation of Solution
The function equation arose in renormalization equation is,
g(x) = αg2(xa)
The power series expansion of the above equation is
g(xα) = 1+c2(xα)2+c4(xα)4+...
g2(xα)=g(g(xα))=g(1+c2(xα)2)=1+c2+2c22(xα)2+O(x4)
∴αg2(xa)=α(1+c2+2c22(xα)2+O(x4))=α(1+c2)+2c22x2α+αO(x4)
The given approximation is
g(x)=1+c2x2
Comparing this with αg2(xa)
1 + c2x2 = α(1+c2)+2c22x2α + O(x3)
Comparing the coefficients of x0 and x2
1= α(1+c2)
c2=2c22α
Solving above two equations
⇒(α,c2)={(1,0)(−1−√3,−1−√32)≈(−2.73205,−1.36603)(−1+√3,−1+√32)≈(0.732051,0.366025)
Here, take the second solution because in that solution α is closer to Feigenbaum α=−2.5...
g(x) = αg2(xa)=α(1+c2+c4+2(c22+2c2c4)(xα)2+(c32+6c22c4+2c2c4+c24)(xα)4+O(x5))
The given approximation is
g(x)=1+c2x2+c4x4
Equating this with αg2(xa)1+c2x2+c4x4=α(1+c2+c4)+2(c22+2c2c4)x2α+(c32+6c22c4+2c2c4+c24)x4α3+O(x5)
Comparing the coefficients of x0,x2and x4, we get
1= α(1+c2+c4)
c2=2(c22+2c2c4)α
c4=(c32+6c22c4+2c2c4+c24)α3
Using first and second equations for solving c2 and c4 in terms of α
c2=−2+2α−α2
c4=1−1α+α2
Substituting these values of c2 and c4 in third equation, then it becomes
4α6+3α5−60α4−104α3+168α2+240α−384+128α=0
The root of above equation closest to Feigenbaum is α=−2.534...
Substituting this value of α in c2=−2+2α−α2 and c4=1−1α+α2
α=−2.534... c2=−1.52224... c4=0.12761...
Comparing the results with exact values c2≈-1.527..., c4≈0.1048... and α≈-2.5029... they are nearly equal.
