Abstract

Presumably, there are an infinity of scaling constants in 1-D quadratic maps; therefore, it is meaningless to try to find all of them. However, some of these constants, which have contributed to a better knowledge of the 1-D quadratic maps, have been published. In this work we illustrate some of the central features of the most important scaling constants and we introduce another one which has the notable property that its value, numerically obtained, presumably is unity.
