name ( synonims )[edit | edit source]

definition[edit | edit source]

A center of a hyperbolic component H is a parameter ( or point of parameter plane ) such that the corresponding periodic orbit has multiplier= 0." [2]

Initial domain[edit | edit source]

  • "All centers of M of any period are contained in the interior of M, so that the circle C = {z ∈ C: |z − 0.75| = 2} surrounds all centers. "
  • "one can exploit the real symmetry of M and only use starting points with non-negative imaginary parts; "[3]

Period[edit | edit source]

Period of center = period of critical orbit = period of hyperbolic component


Julia set[edit | edit source]

It is the easiest case for drawing Julia sets.

Dynamical plane consist of 2 superattracting basins

  • exterior ( ininity is a superattracting fixed point)
  • interior ( z=0 is one of superattracting periodic points)

Number of Mandelbrot set components[edit | edit source]

Equation :

where :

  • N(p) is a number of all components of Mandelbrot set for given period p.
  • p is a period
  • s is a sum of numbers of its components for each divisor[4] of period smaller than period p

All values are positive integers. It is sequence A000740

Program in Maxima CAS :

N(p) := block( 
[a:2^(p-1),f:0],

   if f < p then a : a - N(f),

How to compute centers ?[edit | edit source]

Methods :

  • all centers for given period
    • solving or [5]
      • showing results in graphical form
      • using numerical methods[6][7]
        • "quick and dirty" algorithm : check if then colour c-point with colour n. Here n is a period of attracting orbit and eps is a radius of circle around attracting point = precision of numerical comutations
        • finding all roots of polynomial
          • The iterated refinement Newton method[8]
          • the Ehrlich-Aberth iteration ( Mpsolve[9] )
        • atom domains
        • Myrberg's method [10][11]
      • interval arithmetics and a divide and conquer strategy[12]
    • "Searching is performed using a quadtree subdivision of the grid which increases search resolution in areas of higher root density. Within a search area first a map of the function magnitude is made at moderate resolution, then points of local minimum are refined using 640 bit fixed point math. Root searching requires twice the precision of the desired result due to multiplying very small numbers. As roots are added the quadtree is subdivided further and the search continues. Only the upper half plane is searched due to symmetry.

Quadtree depth was purposely limited on higher periods to reduce run time since the number of roots becomes unmanageable." James Artherton

  • one center for given period near given point
    • some steps of Newton method for solving

System of equations defining centers[edit | edit source]

Centers of hyperbolic components for period 10
Centers of hyperbolic components for period 1-10 computed using irreducible polynomials

Center of hyperbolic component is a point of parameter plain, for which periodic z-cycle is superattracting. It gives a system of 2 equations defining centers of period hyperbolic components :

  • first defines periodic point ,
  • second makes point superattracting.

see definitions for details.

"These polynomials have integer coefficients. They can be obtained by a recurrent relation on the degree. Let Pd the polynomial of degree d. We have" [13]

 
 

Solving system of equations[edit | edit source]

Second equation can be solved when critical point is in this cycle :

To solve system put into first equation.

Equation defining centers[edit | edit source]

One gets equation :

Centers of components are roots of above equation.

Because one can remove z from these equations :

  • for period 1 : z^2+c=z and z=0 so
  • for period 2 : (z^2+c)^2 +c =z and z=0 so
  • for period 3 : ((z^2+c)^2 +c)^2 +c = z and z=0 so

Here is Maxima functions for computing above functions :

P[n]:=if n=1 then c else P[n-1]^2+c;
Reduced equation defining centers[edit | edit source]

Set of roots of above equation contains centers for period p and its divisors. It is because :

where :

  • = Gleason's period-m polynomial [14]= irreducible divisors [15] of [16][1]
  • capital Pi notation of iterated multiplication is used
  • means here : for all divisors of ( from 1 to p ). See table of divisors.

For example, :

So one can find irreducible polynomials using :

Here is Maxima function for computing  :

GiveG[p]:=
block(
[f:divisors(p),
t:1], /* t is temporary variable = product of Gn for (divisors of p) other than p */
f:delete(p,f), /* delete p from list of divisors */
if p=1
then return(Fn(p,0,c)),
for i in f do t:t*GiveG[i],
g: Fn(p,0,c)/t,
return(ratsimp(g))
)$

Here is a table with degree of and for periods 1-10 and precision needed to compute coefficients of these functions (the roots can be calculated with lower precision, provided you work with the unexpanded form ).

color shows in which quadrant zn lands[edit | edit source]
ninth-decomposition. Image and src code

This is radial nth-decomposition of exterior of Mandelbrot set ( compare it with n-th decomposition of LSM/M )

4 colors are used because there are 4 quadrants :

  • re(z_n) > 0 and im(z_n) > 0 ( 1-st quadrant )
  • re(z_n) < 0 and im(z_n) > 0 ( 2-nd quadrant )
  • re(z_n) < 0 and im(z_n) < 0 ( 3-rd quadrant )
  • re(z_n) > 0 and im(z_n) < 0 (4-th quadrant ).

"... when the four colors are meeting somewhere, you have a zero of q_n(c), i.e., a center of period dividing n. In addition, the light or dark color shows if c is in M." ( Wolf Jung )

Here is fragment of c code for computing 8-bit color for point c = cx + cy * i  :

/* initial value of orbit = critical point Z= 0 */
                       Zx=0.0;
                       Zy=0.0;
                       Zx2=Zx*Zx;
                       Zy2=Zy*Zy;
                       /* the same number of iterations for all points !!! */
                       for (Iteration=0;Iteration<IterationMax; Iteration++)
                       {
                           Zy=2*Zx*Zy + Cy;
                           Zx=Zx2-Zy2 +Cx;
                           Zx2=Zx*Zx;
                           Zy2=Zy*Zy;
                       };
                       /* compute  pixel color (8 bit = 1 byte) */
                       if ((Zx>0) && (Zy>0)) color[0]=0;   /* 1-st quadrant */
                       if ((Zx<0) && (Zy>0)) color[0]=10; /* 2-nd quadrant */
                       if ((Zx<0) && (Zy<0)) color[0]=20; /* 3-rd quadrant */
                       if ((Zx>0) && (Zy<0)) color[0]=30; /* 4-th quadrant */

One can also find cpp code in function quadrantqn from class mndlbrot in mndlbrot.cpp file from source code of program Mandel by Wolf Jung[21]

The differences from standard loop are :

  • there is no bailout test (for example for max value of abs(zn) ). It means that every point has the same number of iterations. For large n overflow is possible. Also one can't use test Iteration==IterationMax
  • Iteration limit is relatively small ( start for example IterationMax = 8 )

MPSolve[edit | edit source]

mandelbrot-solver[edit | edit source]

It is a package for Ubuntu A solver for Mandelbrot polynomials based on MPSolve. A polynomial rootfinder that can determine arbitrary precision approximations with guaranteed inclusion radii. It supports exploiting of polynomial structures such as sparsisty and allows for polynomial implicitly defined or in some non standard basis. This binary, provided as an example of custom polynomial implementation in the MPSolve package, uses the particular structure of this family of polynomials to develop an efficient solver that exhibit experimental O(n^2) complexity.

This package contains the specialization of mpsolve to Mandelbrot polynomials.

example :

mandelbrot-solver
Usage: mandelbrot-solver n [starting_file]

Parameters: 
 - n is the level of the Mandelbrot polynomial to solve

 - starting_file is an optional file with the approximations that shall be 
                 use as starting points.

It seems that:

 level = period -1

and then results are centers.
