  2. Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

    A mosaic made by matching Julia sets to their values of c on the complex plane. The Mandelbrot set is a map of connected Julia sets. As a consequence of the definition of the Mandelbrot set, there is a close correspondence between the geometry of the Mandelbrot set at a given point and the structure of the corresponding Julia set. For instance ...

    Without doubt, the most famous connectedness locus is the Mandelbrot set, which arises from the family of complex quadratic polynomials : = +The connectedness loci of the higher-degree unicritical families,

    Chaos: Making a New Science was the first popular book about chaos theory. It describes the Mandelbrot set, Julia sets, and Lorenz attractors without using complicated mathematics.

  6. Pickover stalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickover_stalk

    Example of Pickover stalks in a detail of the Mandelbrot set Pickover stalks are certain kinds of details to be found empirically in the Mandelbrot set , in the study of fractal geometry . [ 1 ] They are so named after the researcher Clifford Pickover , whose "epsilon cross" method was instrumental in their discovery.

    One of them, his nephew Benoit Mandelbrot, was to discover the Mandelbrot set and coin the word fractal in the 1970s. In 1939 he fought for France when the country was invaded by the Nazis, then in 1940, along with many scientists helped by Louis Rapkine and the Rockefeller Foundation , Mandelbrojt relocated to the United States, taking up a ...

  8. Misiurewicz point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misiurewicz_point

    A preperiodic orbit. In mathematics, a Misiurewicz point is a parameter value in the Mandelbrot set (the parameter space of complex quadratic maps) and also in real quadratic maps of the interval [1] for which the critical point is strictly pre-periodic (i.e., it becomes periodic after finitely many iterations but is not periodic itself).

    Benoit B. Mandelbrot [a] [b] (20 November 1924 – 14 October 2010) was a Polish-born French-American mathematician and polymath with broad interests in the practical sciences, especially regarding what he labeled as "the art of roughness" of physical phenomena and "the uncontrolled element in life".
