Abstract
We study families of quadratic maps in an attempt to understand
the role of dependence on parameters of unimodal maps and its
relationship with the computer-generated chaos observed in
numerical simulations. Our specific goal is to give conditions on
this dependence to avoid chaotic situations. We show several
examples that describe in some generality the qualitative
properties of quadratic maps.
