Abstract

We establish a lower bound on the measure of the set of stable parameters a for the quadratic map Qa (x) = a x (1 - x). For these parameters, we prove that Qa either has a single stable periodic orbit or a period-doubling bifurcation. From this result, we also obtain a non-trivial upper bound on the set of stochastic parameters for Qa.
