Harris, David M. Turning curves for critically recurrent cubic polynomials. (English) Zbl 0963.37040 Nonlinearity 12, No. 2, 411-418 (1999). This paper deals with the classification of turning curves which are a very useful tool to study the parameter spaces for polynomials. The author presents examples which show that it is possible for such a curve to be of finite length. Moreover it is known that the turning curve in the recurrent case can be infinite, for example for so-called Fibonacci polynomials. These polynomials satisfy a stronger condition, known as persistent recurrence. The author also addresses the relation of persistent recurrence to the length of the turning curve.
