We embark on a research problem in bifurcation theory, a subfield in dynamical systems studying fundamental changes to the behavior of a system on varying a parameter. In many instances of physical systems, the onset of period-doubling bifurcation presents an issue [including a structural instability of a building or health incident]. We examine how we can measure the robustness of a feedback control mechanism on such problems using a variety of theoretical and applied tools. No background in dynamical systems is supposed.
