我正在编写一个程序，通过找到超稳态值，然后使用这些超稳态值的比率来计算常数，使用物流方程计算费根鲍姆常数。
我对几乎所有值都使用 BigDecimals，以便在计算常数期间保持必要的精度水平。
我正在从以下文件第 30-35 页上的 C++ 代码改编我的代码：http ://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:xabTioRiF0IJ:home.simula.no/~logg/pub/reports/ chaos_hw1.ps.gz+&cd=21&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
我怀疑这个程序对我的问题有什么影响。我运行该程序，它似乎正在工作。我得到的前 4 个超稳定值和前 2 个 d 的输出是预期的，但是在显示这 4 行之后，程序似乎只是停止了。我没有例外，但即使等待 30 分钟后，也不会输出更多计算。我无法弄清楚究竟是什么原因造成的，因为每一行的计算时间应该大致相同，但显然不是。这是我的输出：
Feigenbaum constant calculation (using superstable points):

编辑：Phil Steitz 的回答基本上解决了我的问题。我查看了一些线程转储，在进行了一些研究以尝试理解它们并使用调试信息编译我的程序后，我发现主线程正在停止：
dval = Dfda(fval).add(Dfdx(a, fval).multiply(dval));
as Phil Steit's said, by using
MathContext.DECIMAL128
in not only this line:
dval = Dfda(fval).add(Dfdx(a, fval).multiply(dval));
but also in my multiplication operations in the methods F, Dfda, and Dfdx, I was able to get my code to work properly.
I used DECIMAL128 because the smaller precision made the calculation non-functional, because I compare them to such low numbers for the tolerance check.
