Escape-time fractals – use a formula or recurrence relation at each point in a space (such as the complex plane); usually quasi-self-similar; also known as "orbit" fractals; e.g., the Mandelbrot set, Julia set, Burning Ship fractal, Nova fractal and Lyapunov fractal. The 2d vector fields that are generated by one or two iterations of escape ...
Each branch carries 3 branches (here 90° and 60°). The fractal dimension of the entire tree is the fractal dimension of the terminal branches. NB: the 2-branches tree has a fractal dimension of only 1. 1.5850: Sierpinski triangle: Also the limiting shape of Pascal's triangle modulo 2.
The Jonathan Coulton song "Mandelbrot Set" is a tribute to both the fractal itself and to the man it is named after, Benoit Mandelbrot. [ 46 ] Blue Man Group 's 1999 debut album Audio references the Mandelbrot set in the titles of the songs "Opening Mandelbrot", "Mandelgroove", and "Klein Mandelbrot". [ 47 ]
A 4K UHD 3D Mandelbulb video A ray-marched image of the 3D Mandelbulb for the iteration v ↦ v 8 + c. The Mandelbulb is a three-dimensional fractal, constructed for the first time in 1997 by Jules Ruis and further developed in 2009 by Daniel White and Paul Nylander using spherical coordinates.
The terms fractal dimension and fractal were coined by Mandelbrot in 1975, [16] about a decade after he published his paper on self-similarity in the coastline of Britain. . Various historical authorities credit him with also synthesizing centuries of complicated theoretical mathematics and engineering work and applying them in a new way to study complex geometries that defied description in ...
The Newton fractal is a boundary set in the complex plane which is characterized by Newton's method applied to a fixed polynomial p(z) ∈ [z] or transcendental function. It is the Julia set of the meromorphic function z ↦ z − p ( z ) / p′ ( z ) which is given by Newton's method.
The Koch snowflake (also known as the Koch curve, Koch star, or Koch island [1] [2]) is a fractal curve and one of the earliest fractals to have been described. It is based on the Koch curve, which appeared in a 1904 paper titled "On a Continuous Curve Without Tangents, Constructible from Elementary Geometry" [3] by the Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch.
However, formulas have also been developed that allow calculation of the dimension of other less simple objects, where, solely on the basis of their properties of scaling and self-similarity, one is led to the conclusion that particular objects—including fractals—have non-integer Hausdorff dimensions.
