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)

    “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)

    “Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)
