Abstract
Bifurcation diagrams of periodic windows of scalar maps are often found to be not only topologically equivalent, but in fact to be related by a nearly linear change of parameter coordinates. This effect has been observed numerically for one-parameter families of maps, and we offer an analytical explanation for this phenomenon. We further present numerical evidence of the same phenomenon for two-parameter families, and give a mathematical explanation like that for the one-parameter case. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
