I find the bi-,tri- and multifurcation an interesting subject, as we ask: can we assign an individual value if the iteration oscillates/is furcated - since this is somehow related to the partial evaluation of non-convergent oscillating series, to which we assign a value anyway.
Yes, that is an interesting idea, that these seemingly convergent iterations are actually divergent but get the value in the same way like e.g. series 1-1+1-1..........= 1/2. What then, one would assign to the point \( e^{-\pi/2} \) which when iterated with \( z=I \) on top oscillates between \( +I \) and \( - I \) ?
From complex geometric series , would we have to assign value to that Iteration by analogy with divergent (?) sum:
\( 1/(1+I)=I{^0}+I{^1}-I{^2}+I{^3}-I{^4}+..............=1+I+1-I-1... \)
\( {1/(1+I)} =1/2-I/2 \) whose module is \( {\sqrt2/2} \) and argument \( -\pi/4 \), so value would be:
\( {(\sqrt2/2)}*e^{-I*\pi/4} \)
No, the sum is not the same as \( I-I+I-I... \). First I have to generate such sum where only odd powers of I are present.
