Kenny University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-21, Hobart, AUSTRALIA 7001 Abstract We describe the morphology of the universal function for the critical (cubic) circle map at the golden mean, paying particular attention to the birth of inflection points and their reproduction. In this way one can fully understand its intricacies. Introduction At the critical point, the circle map has a cubic order of inflection. Near the golden mean winding number the self-reproducing (renormalization group) prop- erties of the Fibonacci mode-locked steps [1] leads to the notion of a universal circle map function g(x), which has received a great deal of study in the litera- ture [2, 3, 4]. It obeys the compatible [5] pair of functional equations, g (g(x)) = g(α2x)/α, (1) g(g(x)/α2) = g(αx)/α2. (2) The universal circle map constant α = ?1.288575.. [2] can be determined to extremely high accuracy [6] by examining the equations over a restricted range of x. In this paper however we focus on the behaviour of g(x) over large x, in order to make sense of its morphology. Some years ago we tried a similar analysis for the period-doubling universal function [7]; our aim here is to comprehend how the ever-increasing number of inflection points are spawned as we go out to ever larger |x|. We shall see that they can be discovered directly by a close look at the functional equations and their derivatives, starting from previously known series of inflection points. In the next section we quickly recapitulate the origin and character of the functional equations and derive the principal features, including the first family of inflection points. In the last section we locate the higher families of inflection points of g and explain how successive ones are derived theoretically. In this way one can better appreci
