Images of the Mandelbrot set exhibit an infinitely complicated boundary that reveals progressively ever-finer recursive detail at increasing magnifications; mathematically, the boundary of the Mandelbrot set is a fractal curve. The "style" of this recursive detail depends on the region of the set boundary being examined.
English: Mandelbrot set. Initial image of a zoom sequence: Mandelbrot set with continuously colored environment. Coordinates of the center: Re(c) = -.7, Im(c) = 0; Horizontal diameter of the image: 3.076,9; Created by Wolfgang Beyer with the program Ultra Fractal 3. Uploaded by the creator.
Sierpiński Carpet - Infinite perimeter and zero area Mandelbrot set at islands The Mandelbrot set: its boundary is a fractal curve with Hausdorff dimension 2. (Note that the colored sections of the image are not actually part of the Mandelbrot Set, but rather they are based on how quickly the function that produces it diverges.)
The Mandelbrot set, the most common example of a fractal. 10000x8000 version by Bernard link to the 2500x2000 version instead, and the 10000x8000 version is here. Good high-resolution picture. Best picture of the Mandelbrot set on Wikipedia. Mathematics images are under-represented in WP:FPC. Nominate and support.
Mandelbrot set rendered using a combination of cross and point shaped orbit traps. In mathematics, an orbit trap is a method of colouring fractal images based upon how close an iterative function, used to create the fractal, approaches a geometric shape, called a "trap". Typical traps are points, lines, circles, flower shapes and even raster ...
According to Benoit Mandelbrot, "A fractal is by definition a set for which the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension strictly exceeds the topological dimension." [ 1 ] Presented here is a list of fractals, ordered by increasing Hausdorff dimension, to illustrate what it means for a fractal to have a low or a high dimension.
Fractal Art is a subclass of two-dimensional visual art, and is in many respects similar to photography—another art form that was greeted by skepticism upon its arrival. Fractal images typically are manifested as prints, bringing fractal artists into the company of painters, photographers, and printmakers. Fractals exist natively as ...
The Beauty of Fractals is a 1986 book by Heinz-Otto Peitgen and Peter Richter which publicises the fields of complex dynamics, chaos theory and the concept of fractals. It is lavishly illustrated and as a mathematics book became an unusual success.
