Generalized Huberman-Rudnick scaling law and robustness of q-Gaussian probability distributions

We generalize Huberman-Rudnick universal scaling law for all periodic windows of the logistic map and show the robustness of q-Gaussian probability distributions in the vicinity of chaos threshold. Our scaling relation is universal for the self-similar windows of the map which exhibit period-doubling subharmonic bifurcations. Using this generalized scaling argument, for all periodic windows, as chaos threshold is approached, a developing convergence to q-Gaussian is numerically obtained both in the central regions and tails of the probability distributions of sums of iterates.
