Fractals/Iterations in the complex plane/stripeAC
introduction
[edit | edit source]"Average colorings are a family of coloring functions that use the decimal part of the smooth iteration count to interpolate between average sums." [1]
Here stripes are lines perpendicular to the iteration bands ( level sets of escape time). These " radial strands ... follows the external rays which are of great importance in the theoretical study of M and in holomorphic dynamics." (A Cheritat)[2]
" is basically a cheap way to calculate an angle. TIA is averaging the angle over all iterations to get a smooth result. So there is some initialization and some calculations per iteration to do the sum. It has to store the sum at the previous iteration before adding the next one so you can interpolate between them to get a continuous function between iteration bands (in the same way that continuous potential is usually interpolated). This interpolation is done after the iterations bail out."[3] (xenodreambuie - author of Jux)
" ... it probably shows curves close to external rays, but nevertheless you do not have an explicit relation between the number returned by SAC and the true external argument." Wolf Jung

history
[edit | edit source]A new coloring called the Stripe Average was introduced by Jussi Härkönen in 2007. It is based on the behavior of the Triangle Inequality Average coloring.

algorithm
[edit | edit source]For every point c of rectangle from parameter plane do:[5]
- Calculate the orbit of the point z0. The result is series of complex numbers {z0,z1,z2,...}
- Apply function t to this series to get a new series of real numbers: { t0=t(z0), t1=t(z1), t2=t(z2), ...}.
- Take the average A ( = arithmetic mean) of this series of real numbers
- map real number A to a color ( coloring function)
orbit
[edit | edit source]
Skipped orbit is a subset of truncated orbit:
- skip a first k+1 of items from the sequence
- do not use some first k+1 items to compute average
addend function
[edit | edit source]The addend function t
- maps complex number to real number
- is continuous on the elements of elements in skipped orbit
where :
- s is a stripe density
average
[edit | edit source]full
[edit | edit source]Average of full truncated orbit:
- compute average from all points of the truncated orbit
If one compute average of all points ( from i=1 to i=n) then:
- stripes will be visible ( good)
- level sets of escape time will be also visible (bad, discontinuity )
The solution is :
- the interpolation
- skipped truncated orbit
skipped
[edit | edit source]Average of skipped orbit:
- skip first (k+1) items from computing average
note that:
It removes some discontinuities but not level sets of escape time
interpolated
[edit | edit source]Level sets of escape time are still visible ( discontinuity). One can remove them using interpolation.[6]
interpolation:
- between 2 values
- using:
- linear function = linear interpolation
- splines = spline interpolation
- polynomial
steps:
- Construct a smooth iteration count u = real number ( see equation 3.11 from page 21 in J Harkonen thesis)
- take it's fractional part[7] d
Decimal (frational) part d is:
- zero at boundary of previous level set
- converges to 1 in the neighborhood of next level set boundary
"Thus it can be used as the interpolation coefficient."
linear
[edit | edit source]To compute linear average interpolate between two values:
- one obtained from the "full" series ( truncated and skipped) = Avg =
- one obtained from the average of all t elements except the last one = prevAvg =
see equation 4.2 from page 28 in J Harkonen thesis
or in GLSL code by Syntopia:
float mix = frac*avg+(1.0-frac)*prevAvg;
Here is important fragment of GLSL code by Syntopia:
// iteration
for ( i = 0; i < Iterations; i++) {
z = complexMul(z,z) + c;
if (i>=Skip) {
count++;
lastAdded = 0.5+0.5*sin(StripeDensity*atan(z.y,z.x));
avg += lastAdded;
}
z2 = dot(z,z);
if (z2> EscapeRadius2 && i>Skip) break;
}
prevAvg = (avg -lastAdded)/(count-1.0);
avg = avg/count;
frac =1.0+(log2(log(EscapeRadius2)/log(z2)));
float mix = frac*avg+(1.0-frac)*prevAvg;

samm = Stripe Average Method
with :
- skipping first (i_skip+1) points from average
- linear interpolation
en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Fractals/Iterations_in_the_complex_plane/stripeAC
--------------------------------
1. draws Mandelbrot set for complex quadratic polynomial
Fc(z)=z*z +c
using samm = Stripe Average Method
-------------------------------
2. technique of creating ppm file is based on the code of Claudio Rocchini
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Color_complex_plot.jpg
create 24 bit color graphic file , portable pixmap file = PPM
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_pixmap
to see the file use external application ( graphic viewer)
-----
it is example for :
https://www.math.univ-toulouse.fr/~cheritat/wiki-draw/index.php/Mandelbrot_set
-------------
compile :
gcc samm.c -lm -Wall
./a.out
-------- git --------
cd existing_folder
git init
git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:adammajewski/mandelbrot_wiki_ACh.git
