On a topological closeness of perturbed Julia sets

In the present work we expand our previous work in [1] by introducing the Julia Deviation Distance and the Julia Deviation Plot in order to study the stability of the Julia sets of noise-perturbed Mandelbrot maps. We observe a power-law behaviour of the Julia Deviation Distance of the Julia sets of a family of additive dynamic noise Mandelbrot maps from the Julia set of the Mandelbrot map as a function of the noise level. Additionally, using the above tools, we support the invariance of the Julia set of a noise-perturbed Mandelbrot map under different noise realizations.     

On the Julia set of the perturbed Mandelbrot map

In this work, we present numerical results which support the smooth decomposition method of the generalized Julia set by Peintge et al., in the case of other perturbations of the Mandelbrot map studied in our previous work (Argyris J, Andreadis I, Karakasidis T. Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 1999). We also calculate the generalized Julia set of a Mandelbrot map subject to noise. Hence, we are in a position to examining numerically the stability of this set under small noise.     

Is the Mandelbrot set computable?

This work is concerned with the question whether the Mandelbrot set is computable. The computability notions that we consider are studied in computable analysis and will be introduced and discussed. We show that the exterior of the Mandelbrot set, the boundary of the Mandelbrot set, and the hyperbolic components satisfy certain natural computability conditions. We conclude that the two‐sided distance function of the Mandelbrot set is computable if the famous hyperbolicity conjecture is true. We also formulate the question whether the distance function of the Mandelbrot set is computable in terms of the escape time. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Determination of Mandelbrot Sets Hyperbolic Component Centres

In this work we present a very fast and parsimonious method to calculate the centre coordinates of hyperbolic components in the Mandelbrot set. The method we use constitutes an extension for the complex domain of the one developed by Myrberg for the real map x ] x²−p, in which, given the symbolic sequence of a superstable orbit, the parameter value originating such a superstable orbit is worked out. We show that, when dealing with complex domain sequences, some of the solutions obtained correspond to the centres of the Mandelbrot sets hyperbolic components, while some others do not exist.     

On perturbations of the Mandelbrot map

In this work, we propose new applications of analytic and non-analytic perturbations of the Mandelbrot map as expressed in a two-parameter deformation family of it. The influence of alternative applications of noise for specific choices of a Mandelbrot set is also provided. Hence, we are in a position of examining the stability of this set under stochastic perturbations.     

A general view of pseudoharmonics and pseudoantiharmonics to calculate external arguments of Douady and Hubbard

Harmonics give us a compact formula and a powerful tool in order to calculate the external arguments of the last appearance hyperbolic components and Misiurewicz points of the Mandelbrot set in some particular cases. Antiharmonics seem however to have no application. In this paper, we give a general view of pseudoharmonics and pseudoantiharmonics, as a generalization of harmonics and antiharmonics. Pseudoharmonics turn out to be a more powerful tool than harmonics since they allow the calculation of external arguments of the Mandelbrot set in many more cases. Likewise, unlike antiharmonics, pseudoantiharmonics turn out to be a powerful tool to calculate external arguments of the Mandelbrot set in some cases.

Reverse bifurcation and fractal of the compound logistic map

The nature of the fixed points of the compound logistic map is researched and the boundary equation of the first bifurcation of the map in the parameter space is given out. Using the quantitative criterion and rule of chaotic system, the paper reveal the general features of the compound logistic map transforming from regularity to chaos, the following conclusions are shown: (1) chaotic patterns of the map may emerge out of double-periodic bifurcation and (2) the chaotic crisis phenomena and the reverse bifurcation are found. At the same time, we analyze the orbit of critical point of the compound logistic map and put forward the definition of Mandelbrot–Julia set of compound logistic map. We generalize the Welstead and Cromer’s periodic scanning technology and using this technology construct a series of Mandelbrot–Julia sets of compound logistic map. We investigate the symmetry of Mandelbrot–Julia set and study the topological inflexibility of distributing of period region in the Mandelbrot set, and finds that Mandelbrot set contain abundant information of structure of Julia sets by founding the whole portray of Julia sets based on Mandelbrot set qualitatively.     

Connectivity of the Mandelbrot set for the family of renormalization transformations

We show that the Mandelbrot set for the family of renormalization transformations of 2-dimensional diamond-like hierachical Potts models in statistical mechanics is connected. We also give an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of Julia set when it is a quasi-circle.     

Bounds for Shannon and Zipf‐Mandelbrot entropies

Shannon and Zipf‐Mandelbrot entropies have many applications in many applied sciences, for example, in information theory, biology and economics, etc. In this paper, we consider two refinements of the well‐know Jensen inequality and obtain different bounds for Shannon and Zipf‐Mandelbrot entropies. First of all, we use some convex functions and manipulate the weights and domain of the functions and deduce results for Shannon entropy. We also discuss their particular cases. By using Zipf‐Mandelbrot laws for different parameters in Shannon entropies results, we obtain bounds for Zipf‐Mandelbrot entropy. The idea used in this paper for obtaining the results may stimulate further research in this area, particularly for Zipf‐Mandelbrot entropy.     

Hyperbolicity,stability and monodromy of dynamical systems

We propose a rigorous computational method for proving uniform hyperbolicity of dynamical systems. Besides finding structurally stable parameters, the algorithm can also be applied for the computation of the monodromy of dynamical systems. With this algorithm, we prove that the topology of the 2-dimensional generalization of the Mandelbrot set is totally different from that of the original Mandelbrot set. Furthermore, we show that the monodromy of the complex Hénon map can be used to determine the dynamics of the real Hénon map. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Topological entropy of quadratic polynomials and dimension of sections of the Mandelbrot set

A fundamental theme in holomorphic dynamics is that the local geometry of parameter space (e.g. the Mandelbrot set) near a parameter reflects the geometry of the Julia set, hence ultimately the dynamical properties, of the corresponding dynamical system. We establish a new instance of this phenomenon in terms of entropy.     

On 2D generalization of Higuchi’s fractal dimension

We propose a new numerical method for calculating 2D fractal dimension (DF) of a surface. This method represents a generalization of Higuchi’s method for calculating fractal dimension of a planar curve. Using a family of Weierstrass–Mandelbrot functions, we construct Weierstrass–Mandelbrot surfaces in order to test exactness of our new numerical method. The 2D fractal analysis method was applied to the set of histological images collected during direct shoot organogenesis from leaf explants. The efficiency of the proposed method in differentiating phases of organogenesis is proved.     

Synchronizing the noise-perturbed Lü chaotic system

In this paper, synchronization between unidirectionally coupled Lü chaotic systems with noise perturbation is investigated theoretically and numerically. Sufficient conditions of synchronization between these noise-perturbed systems are established by means of the so-called sliding mode control method. Some numerical simulations are also included to visualize the effectiveness and the feasibility of the developed approach.     

Adaptive complete synchronization of the noise-perturbed two bi-directionally coupled chaotic systems with time-delay and unknown parametric mismatch

In this paper, we design an adaptive-feedback controller to synchronize a class of noise-perturbed two bi-directionally coupled chaotic systems with time-delay and unknown parametric mismatch. Based on invariance principle of stochastic time-delay differential equations, some sufficient conditions of adaptive complete synchronization are given. Comparing with other papers, here we consider the effect of internal noise, time-delay and parametric mismatch in the synchronized process. As the illustrative examples, the famous Lorenz system and Rössler system are considered here. In order to validate the proposed scheme, numerical simulations are performed, and the numerical results show that our scheme is very effective.

On the size of the algebraic difference of two random Cantor sets

In this paper we consider some families of random Cantor sets on the line and investigate the question whether the condition that the sum of Hausdorff dimension is larger than one implies the existence of interior points in the difference set of two independent copies. We prove that this is the case for the so called Mandelbrot percolation. On the other hand the same is not always true if we apply a slightly more general construction of random Cantor sets. We also present a complete solution for the deterministic case. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2008     

Perfect subspaces of quadratic laminations Dedicated to the Memory of Lei Tan

The combinatorial Mandelbrot set is a continuum in the plane, whose boundary is defined as the quotient space of the unit circle by an explicit equivalence relation. This equivalence relation was described by Douady(1984) and, separately, by Thurston(1985) who used quadratic invariant geolaminations as a major tool. We showed earlier that the combinatorial Mandelbrot set can be interpreted as a quotient of the space of all limit quadratic invariant geolaminations with the Hausdorff distance topology. In this paper, we describe two similar quotients. In the first case, the identifications are the same but the space is smaller than that used for the Mandelbrot set. The resulting quotient space is obtained from the Mandelbrot set by "unpinching" the transitions between adjacent hyperbolic components. In the second case we identify renormalizable geolaminations that can be "unrenormalized" to the same hyperbolic geolamination while no two non-renormalizable geolaminations are identified.     

Multipliers of periodic orbits of quadratic polynomials and the parameter plane

We prove a result about an extension of the multiplier of an attracting periodic orbit of a quadratic map as a function of the parameter. This has applications to the problem of geometry of the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. In particular, we prove that the size of p/q-limb of a hyperbolic component of the Mandelbrot set of period n is O(4 ⁿ /p), and give an explicit condition on internal arguments under which the Julia set of corresponding (unique) infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomial is not locally connected.
