In [[mathematics]], particularly in [[dynamical systems]], a '''bifurcation diagram''' shows the possible long-term values (equilibria/fixed points or periodic orbits) of a system as a function of a [[Bifurcation theory|bifurcation parameter]] in the system. It is usual to represent stable solutions with a solid line and unstable solutions with a dotted line.

An example is the bifurcation diagram of the [[logistic map]]:
 
:<math> x_{n+1}=rx_n(1-x_n). \,</math>
 
The bifurcation parameter ''r'' is shown on the horizontal axis of the plot and the vertical axis shows the possible long-term population values of the logistic function.
 
The bifurcation diagram nicely shows the forking of the possible periods of stable orbits from 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 etc. Each of these bifurcation points is a [[period-doubling bifurcation]].
The ratio of the lengths of successive intervals between values of ''r'' for which bifurcation occurs [[convergent series|converges]] to the [[first Feigenbaum constant]].
 
===Real quadratic map===
{{See also|Complex quadratic polynomial}}
The map is <math>x_{n+1}=x_n^2-c</math>.
 
==Symmetry breaking in bifurcation sets==
 
[[Image:Asymbif.gif|300px|thumb|right|Symmetry breaking in [[pitchfork bifurcation]] as the parameter epsilon is varied. epsilon = 0 is the case of symmetric pitchfork bifurcation.]]
 
In a dynamical system such as
 
:<math> \ddot {x} + f(x;\mu) + \epsilon g(x) = 0</math>,
 
which is [[structurally stable]] when <math> \mu \neq 0 </math>, if a bifurcation diagram is plotted, treating <math> \mu </math> as the bifurcation parameter, but for different values of <math> \epsilon </math>, the case <math> \epsilon = 0</math> is the symmetric pitchfork bifurcation. When  <math> \epsilon \neq 0 </math>, we say we have a pitchfork with ''broken symmetry.'' This is illustrated in the animation on the right.
