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.
