The Parametrized Boundary of a Period-2 Component in the Degree-3 Bifurcation Set

The boundary of a typical period-2 component in the degree-3 bifurcation set is formulated by a parametrization of its image which is the unit circle under the multiplier map, Some properties on the geometry of the boundary are investigated including the root point, the cusp, the component center and the length as well as the area bounded by the boundary curve. An algorithm drawing the boundary curve with Mathematica codes is proposed and its implementation exhibits a good agreement with the analysis presented here.
