In previous works we introduced the symbolic sequence of the orbit of
a Misiurewicz point of a one-dimensional quadratic map and formulae to
calculate the symbolic sequences of the orbits of the tip and the cus
p points in the Mandelbrot set antenna tan L-map). In this work we gen
eralize these expressions to any map type, and we present simple formu
lae to directly calculate the symbolic sequences of chaotic bands merg
ing points, pitchfork bifurcation points and stable periodic points in
one-dimensional quadratic maps. To conclude, some considerations abou
t the notation of the accumulation points are accomplished. (C) 1998 E
