Nova Fractal - Formula

Formula

The formula for the Nova fractal is a generalization of a Newton fractal:

where is said to be a relaxation constant and . If c = 0, this expression reduces to the Newton fractal formula:

for . Usually, is assigned the value 3, while is an adjustable parameter, and is the location variable, for a "Mandelbrot Nova".

Famous quotes containing the word formula:

    “Ideals possess the strange quality that if they were completely realized they would turn into nonsense. One could easily follow a commandment such as “Thou shalt not kill” to the point of dying of starvation; and I might establish the formula that for the proper functioning of the mesh of our ideals, as in the case of a strainer, the holes are just as important as the mesh.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective positions of the beings which compose it, if moreover this intelligence were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in the same formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom; to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future as the past would be present to its eyes.”
    —Pierre Simon De Laplace (1749–1827)

    “I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
