Abstract
We consider unimodal polynomials with Feigenbaum topological type and critical points whose orders tend to infinity. It is shown that the hyperbolic dimensions of their Julia set go to 2; furthermore, that the Hausdorff dimensions of the basins of attraction of their Feigenbaum attractors also tend to 2. The proof is based on constructing a limiting dynamics with a flat critical point.
