  1. mandelbrot set

    The Mandelbrot set is a collection of points in the complex plane, the boundary of which forms a fractal. Mathematically, the Mandelbrot set is defined as the set of points c in the complex plane for which the iteratively defined sequence z_{n+1} = (z_n)^2 + c, with z_0 = 0, stays bounded. In other words, if the series of z does not diverge after a certain number of steps, then c is a member of the Mandelbrot set. The set is named after Benoit Mandelbrot, a French-American mathematician who extensively studied fractals.

  1. Mandelbrot set

    The Mandelbrot set is a mathematical set of points whose boundary is a distinctive and easily recognizable two-dimensional fractal shape. The set is closely related to Julia sets, and is named after the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot, who studied and popularized it. Mandelbrot set images are made by sampling complex numbers and determining for each whether the result tends towards infinity when a particular mathematical operation is iterated on it. Treating the real and imaginary parts of each number as image coordinates, pixels are colored according to how rapidly the sequence diverges, if at all. More precisely, the Mandelbrot set is the set of values of c in the complex plane for which the orbit of 0 under iteration of the complex quadratic polynomial zn+1 = zn² + c remains bounded. That is, a complex number c is part of the Mandelbrot set if, when starting with z0 = 0 and applying the iteration repeatedly, the absolute value of zn remains bounded however large n gets. For example, letting c = 1 gives the sequence 0, 1, 2, 5, 26,…, which tends to infinity. As this sequence is unbounded, 1 is not an element of the Mandelbrot set. On the other hand, c = −1 gives the sequence 0, −1, 0, −1, 0,…, which is bounded, and so −1 belongs to the Mandelbrot set.
