A Subfamily of Julia Sets
A Subfamily of Julia Sets
The Julia set of a complex rational function is the self-similar set of points for which the orbits of (z) are bounded ( is the iterate of ). These sets were named after the the French mathematician Gaston Julia, who published his results in 1918. One subfamily of Julia sets with interesting topology and dynamics uses functions of the type
