Is $g(z)=\frac{1}{z}+\frac{1}{z^2+1}+\frac{1}{(z^2+1)^2 +1}+…$ analytic for $|z|>2$?

Let $z$ be a complex number. Let |.| denote be the absolute value. Let $n$ be a positive integer. Let $f_1(z)=z^2+1$. Let $f_n(z)=f_1(f_{n-1}(z)).$ Is ...

Classification of points in the Mandelbrot set

I am trying to understand the classification of points in the Mandelbrot set. There are an infinite number of baby Mandelbrots, each associated with a defined set of landing rays. There are the pre ...

The Mandelbrot Set Membership

To define the Mandelbrot Set we consider a sequence of complex numbers $z_0$, $z_1$, $z_2$, $z_3$, with the following conditions: $$ \begin{cases} z_{n+1} &= &z_n^2 + c &\text{ for }n\geq ...

Quadratic Julia sets and periodic cycles

Consider the function $f_c(z) = z^2 + c$. Applying this function repeatedly, we get the familiar quadratic Julia sets that fractal enthusiasts burn compute cycles plotting. Infinity is always one ...

Every basin of attraction contains a critical point?

Years and years ago, back when I first became interested in fractals [but didn't know much about anything], I vaguely remember coming across an interesting theorem. The gist of it was that "every ...

Number of limit points of a continued exponential

Inspired by the work of C. Bender, I recently played with continued exponentials (like continued fractions but with exponential functions ;) ). Given all prefactors are equal to 1, the continued ...

coloring the inside point for Julia Fractal

I am trying to continuous coloring the inside point for a fractal image,such as $z \to z^2+C$. For those outside point, we can use the escape iteration to determine the color, just as the description ...

Why this Mandelbrot program add current point in the Mandelbrot

I read some posts about the Mandelbrot. I read that the Mandelbrot should be defined by $f(z)=z^2+C$. In my understanding, I think, the $C$ should be a constant, like $0.27$ or $2.1+4.5i$. However, in ...

The Hausdorff dimension of the set of solutions of a system of coupled differential equations

I am interested in the relationship between non-linear differential equations and the Hausdorff, or fractal, dimension of the set of solutions. For example, the Lorenz Attractor, which is a standard ...

Mandelbrot-like sets for functions other than $f(z)=z^2+c$?

Are there any well-studied analogs to the Mandelbrot set using functions other than $f(z)= z^2+c$ in $\mathbb{C}$?
