An example is the bifurcation diagram of the logistic map. In this case, the parameter r is show on the x-axis of the plot and the y-axis shows the possible population values of the logistic function.
The bifurcation diagram nicely shows the forking of the possible periods of stable orbits from 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 etc. The ratio of the values of r where bifurcation occurs is called the Feigenbaum constant.
Period 3 occurs at 3.83, 5 at 3.74, and so on. Here are the values of c (Mandelbrot set) and r (logistic map) for which 0 and 0.5, respectively, are in stable cycles of the given period:
