Abstract For a sequence of complex parameters $(c_n)$ we consider the composition of functions $f_{c_n} (z) = z^2 + c_n$ , the non-autonomous version of the classical quadratic dynamical system. The definitions of Julia and Fatou sets are naturally generalized to this setting. We answer a question posed by Brück, Büger and Reitz, whether the Julia set for such a sequence is almost always totally disconnected, if the values $c_n$ are chosen randomly from a large disc. Our proof is easily generalized to answer a lot of other related questions regarding typical connectivity of the random Julia set. In fact we prove the statement for a much larger family of sets than just discs; in particular if one picks $c_n$ randomly from the main cardioid of the Mandelbrot set, then the Julia set is still almost always totally disconnected.

If $c$ is in the main cardioid of the Mandelbrot set, then the Julia set $J$ of the map $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{c}:z\mapsto z^{2}+c$ is a Jordan curve of Hausdorff dimension $p\in [1,2)$. We provide a full proof of a formula for the Hausdorff measure on $J$ in terms of singular traces announced by the first named author in 1996.

AbstractWe consider the one-parameter family of quadratic polynomials:i.e. monic centered quadratic polynomials with an indifferent fixed point αtand prefixed point −αt. LetAt, be any one of the sets {0, ±αt}, {±αt}, {0, αt}, or {0, −αt}. Then we prove that for quadratic Julia sets corresponding to aGδ-dense subset ofthere is an explicitly given external ray accumulating onAt. In the caseAt= {±αt} the theorem is known as theDouady accumulation theorem.Corollaries are the non-local connectivity of these Julia sets and the fact that all such Julia sets contain a Cremer point. Existence of non-locally connected quadratic Julia sets of Hausdorff dimension two is derived by using a recent result of Shishikura. By tuning, the results hold on the boundary of any hyperbolic component of the Mandelbrot set.Finally, we concentrate on quadratic Cremer point polynomials. Here we prove that any ray accumulating on two symmetrical points of the Julia set must accumulate the origin. As a consequence, the denseGδsets arising from the first two possible choices ofAtare the same. We also prove that, if two distinct rays accumulate both to two distinct points, then the rays must accumulate on a common continuum joining the two points. This supports the conjecture that αtand –αtmay be joined by an arc in the Julia set.

This work focuses on a kind of fractals Parrondo’s paradoxial phenomenon “deiconnected+diconnected=connected” in an alternated superior complex system zn+1=β(zn2+ci)+(1−β)zn,i=1,2. On the one hand, the connectivity variation in superior Julia sets is explored by analyzing the connectivity loci. On the other hand, we graphically investigate the position relation between superior Mandelbrot set and the Connectivity Loci, which results in the conclusion that two totally disconnected superior Julia sets can originate a new, connected, superior Julia set. Moreover, we present some graphical examples obtained by the use of the escape-time algorithm and the derived criteria.

The complexification of the standard family of circle maps Fαβ(θ)=θ+α+β+β sin(θ) mod (2π) is given by Fαβ(ω)=ωeiαe(β/2)(ω−1/ω) and its lift fαβ(z)=z+a+β sin(z). We investigate the three-dimensional parameter space for Fαβ that results from considering a complex and β real. In particular, we study the two-dimensional cross-sections β=constant as β tends to zero. As the functions tend to the rigid rotation Fα,0, their dynamics tend to the dynamics of the family Gλ(z)=λzez where λ=e−iα. This new family exhibits behavior typical of the exponential family together with characteristic features of quadratic polynomials. For example, we show that the λ-plane contains infinitely many curves for which the Julia set of the corresponding maps is the whole plane. We also prove the existence of infinitely many sets of λ values homeomorphic to the Mandelbrot set.

This chapter proves that the tricorn is not locally connected and not even pathwise connected, confirming an observation of John Milnor from 1992. The tricorn is the connectedness locus in the space of antiholomorphic quadratic polynomials z ↦ ̄z² + c. The chapter extends this discussion more generally for antiholomorphic unicritical polynomials of degrees d ≥ 2 and their connectedness loci, known as multicorns. The multicorn M*subscript d is the connectedness locus in the space of antiholomorphic unicritical polynomials psubscript c(z) = ̄zsubscript d + c of degree d, i.e., the set of parameters for which the Julia set is connected. The special case d = 2 is the tricorn, which is the formal antiholomorphic analog to the Mandelbrot set.

Properties of the different configurations of Julia sets J, generated by the complex map TZ: z′ = z2 - c, are revisited when c is a real parameter, -1/4 < c < 2. This is done from a detailed knowledge of the fractal bifurcation organization "box-within-a-box", related to the real Myrberg's map T: x′ = x2 - λ, first described in 1975. Part I of this paper constitutes a first step, leading to Part II dealing with an embedding of TZ into the two-dimensional noninvertible map [Formula: see text]. For γ = 0, [Formula: see text] is semiconjugate to TZ in the invariant half-plane (y ≤ 0). With a given value of c, and with γ decreasing, the identification of the global bifurcations sequence when γ → 0, permits to explain a route toward the Julia sets. With respect to other papers published on the basic Julia and Fatou sets, Part I consists in the identification of J singularities (the unstable cycles and their limit sets) with their localization on J. This identification is made from the symbolism associated with the "box-within-a-box" organization, symbolism associated with the unstable cycles of J for a given c-value. In this framework, Part I gives the structural properties of the Julia set of TZ, which are useful to understand some bifurcation sequences in the more general case considered in Part II. Different types of Julia sets are identified.

Visualization techniques are common in the study of chaotic motion. These techniques range from simple time graphs and phase portraits to robust Julia sets, which are familiar to many as ‘fractal images.’ The utility of the Julia sets rests not in their considerable visual impact, but rather, in the color-coded information that they display about the dynamics of an iterated function. In this paper, a paradigm termed the performance map is presented, which is derived from the familiar Julia set. Performance maps are generated automatically for control or other dynamical system models over ranges of system parameters. The resulting visualizations require a minimum of a priori knowledge of the system under evaluation. By the use of color-coding, these images convey a wealth of information to the informed user about dynamic behaviors of a system that may be hidden from all but the expert analyst.

We describe two infinite-order parabolic perturbation procedures yielding quadratic polynomials having a Cremer fixed point. The main idea is to obtain the polynomial as the limit of repeated parabolic perturbations. The basic tool at each step is to control the behaviour of certain external rays.Polynomials of the Cremer type correspond to parameters at the boundary of a hyperbolic component of the Mandelbrot set. In this paper we concentrate on the main cardioid component. We investigate the differences between two-sided (i.e. alternating) and one-sided parabolic perturbations.In the two-sided case, we prove the existence of polynomials having an explicitly given external ray accumulating both at the Cremer point and at its non-periodic preimage. We think of the Julia set as containing a ‘topologist's double comb’.In the one-sided case we prove a weaker result: the existence of polynomials having an explicitly given external ray accumulating at the Cremer point, but having in the impression of the ray both the Cremer point and its other preimage. We think of the Julia set as containing a ‘topologist's single comb’.By tuning, similar results hold on the boundary of any hyperbolic component of the Mandelbrot set.

The nature of the fixed points of the Carotid–Kundalini (C–K) map was studied and the boundary equation of the first bifurcation of the C–K map in the parameter plane is presented. Using the quantitative criterion and rule of chaotic system, the paper reveals the general features of the C–K Map transforming from regularity to chaos. The following conclusions are obtained: (i) chaotic patterns of the C–K map may emerge out of double-periodic bifurcation; (ii) the chaotic crisis phenomena are found. At the same time, the authors analyzed the orbit of critical point of the complex C–K Map and put forward the definition of Mandelbrot–Julia set of the complex C–K Map. The authors generalized the Welstead and Cromer's periodic scanning technique and using this technology constructed a series of the Mandelbrot–Julia sets of the complex C–K Map. Based on the experimental mathematics method of combining the theory of analytic function of one complex variable with computer aided drawing, we investigated the symmetry of the Mandelbrot–Julia set and studied the topological inflexibility of distribution of the periodic region in the Mandelbrot set, and found that the Mandelbrot set contains abundant information of the structure of Julia sets by finding the whole portray of Julia sets based on Mandelbrot set qualitatively.

This chapter deals with the question of local connectivity of the Julia set of polynomials and rational maps. It discusses when the Julia set of a rational map is considered connected but not locally connected. The question of the local connectivity of the Julia set has been studied extensively for quadratic polynomials, but there is still no complete characterization of when a quadratic polynomial has a connected and locally connected Julia set. This chapter thus proposes some conjectures and develops a model of non-locally connected Julia sets in the case of infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomials. This model presents the structure of what the post-critical set in that setting should be.
