Reference numerical computation for: Feigenbaum Constant δ
The Feigenbaum constant δ is computed via the period-doubling bifurcation cascade.
We find successive bifurcation points r_n of the logistic map f(x) = rx(1-x) and
compute δ = lim (r_{n-1} - r_{n-2}) / (r_n - r_{n-1}).
For higher precision, we use the renormalization group approach.
