Continued fractions and solutions of the Feigenbaum–Cvitanović equation
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 334 (2002) no. 8, pp. 683-688.

In this paper, we develop a new approach to the construction of solutions of the Feigenbaum–Cvitanović equation whose existence was shown by H. Epstein. Our main tool is the analytic theory of continued fractions.

Dans ce travail, nous énonçons une nouvelle méthode de construction des solutions de l'équation de Feigenbaum–Cvitanović dont l'existence a été montrée par H. Epstein. On utilise la théorie analytique des fractions continues.
