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:

    “In the most desirable conditions, the child learns to manage anxiety by being exposed to just the right amounts of it, not much more and not much less. This optimal amount of anxiety varies with the child’s age and temperament. It may also vary with cultural values.... There is no mathematical formula for calculating exact amounts of optimal anxiety. This is why child rearing is an art and not a science.”
    —Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)

    “My formula for greatness in human beings is amor fati: that one wants to change nothing, neither forwards, nor backwards, nor in all eternity. Not merely to endure necessity, still less to hide it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of necessity—but rather to love it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.”
    —Maria Mitchell (1818–1889)
