Abstract: We prove existence of solutions $(phi,lambda)$ of a family of of Feigenbaum-like equations label{family} phi(x)={1+eps over lambda} phi(phi(lambda x)) -eps x + au(x), where $eps$ is a small real number and $au$ is analytic and small on some complex neighborhood of $(-1,1)$ and real-valued on $fR$. The family $(effamily)$ appears in the context of period-doubling renormalization for area-preserving maps (cf. cite{GK}). Our proof is a development of ideas of H. Epstein (cf cite{Eps1}, cite{Eps2}, cite{Eps3}) adopted to deal with some significant complications that arise from the presence of terms $epsx+au(x)$ in the equation $(effamily)$. The method relies on a construction of novel {it a-priori} bounds for unimodal functions which turn out to be very tight. We also obtain good bounds on the scaling parameter $lambda$. A byproduct of the method is a new proof of the existence of a Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser function.

Review text

That a solution exists for the Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser equation \[ \phi(x)= {1\over\lambda} \phi(\phi(\lambda x)) \] is well-known. Since that equation has been so important in the study of renormalization and universality for unimodular maps, it is natural to ask if solutions exist for perturbations of this equation. The author of this paper considers a family of Feigenbaum-like equations \[ \phi(x)= {1+ \varepsilon\over\lambda} \phi(\phi(\lambda x))-\varepsilon x+ \tau(x), \] where \(\varepsilon\) is a small real number and \(\tau(x)\) is a small analytic perturbation defined on some complex neighborhood of \((-1,1)\) and real on \(\mathbb{R}\). This family appears in the study of period-doubling renormalization for area-preserving maps (in the work of \textit{D. Gaidashev} and \textit{H. Koch}, Period-doubling in area-preserving maps: an associated one-dimensional problem preprint, available at \url{http://www.math.uu.se/~gaidash}]). The author proves the existence of solutions \((\phi,\lambda)\). A significant complication in the proof arises because of the \(-\varepsilon x+\tau(x)\) terms. To get around this obstacle, the author constructs a-priori bounds for unimodular functions that turn out to be quite tight. The author also obtains good bounds on the scaling parameter \(\lambda\). An additional benefit of the author's approach is a new proof of the existence of the Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser function.
