The Lanford contraction proof of the Feigenbaum fixed point replaces an unstable renormalization operator by a contracting Newton correction. Use a coefficient Banach space for normalized even maps, represented by with an absolutely summable coefficient norm on . Its complex domain and a small ball are chosen so that every map is admissible and the renormalization composition is analytic there.
A high-accuracy polynomial gives an approximate fixed point. Use a bounded invertible approximate inverse for , and define
Rigorous estimates certify
The finite coefficient computations use interval arithmetic with controlled rounding; analytic estimates bound the infinite tail. Thus the certification applies to the full function space, rather than merely a truncated polynomial system.
Part (b) gives a unique fixed point of in the certified ball. Invertibility of makes it a unique fixed point of there. The ball also preserves the quadratic critical maximum and nontrivial shape, excluding the constant formal normalized solution. Consequently an actual locally unique analytic Feigenbaum fixed point exists, with the error bound . The numerical approximation locates it; rigorous residual, derivative and tail bounds establish its existence and uniqueness. This conclusion is local, not a claim of global uniqueness among all analytic solutions.
