This gives the iteration time to settle into the characteristic patterns that constitute the bifurcation diagram, and results in a clean-looking plot. However, using lower values produces interesting results too. Set Filter Cycles to 1 for an unfiltered map. This results in a map overlaid with nice curves. Each Seed Population value results in a different set of curves.
Beta is used in the bifmay bifurcations and is the power to which the denominator is raised.
Many formulae can be used to produce bifurcations. He found that the ratios of lengths of adjacent areas of bifurcation were four and a bit. This helped him guess where bifurcation points would be, and saved lots of time. He also went on to tell other scientists. Real equivalent of Lambda Sets.
