Periodic Points of Complex Quadratic Mappings

Periodic Points Of Complex Quadratic Mappings

This article describes periodic points of some complex quadratic maps. A map is a formula for computing a value of a variable based on its own previous value or values; a quadratic map is one that involves the previous value raised to the powers one and two; and a complex map is one in which the variable is a complex number. A periodic point of a map is a value of the variable that occurs repeatedly after intervals of a fixed length.

This theory is applied in relation with the theories of Fatou and Julia sets.

Famous quotes containing the words periodic, points and/or complex:

    But parents can be understanding and accept the more difficult stages as necessary times of growth for the child. Parents can appreciate the fact that these phases are not easy for the child to live through either; rapid growth times are hard on a child. Perhaps it’s a small comfort to know that the harder-to-live-with stages do alternate with the calmer times,so parents can count on getting periodic breaks.
    Saf Lerman (20th century)

    Type of the wise, who soar, but never roam—
    True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home!
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    It’s a complex fate, being an American, and one of the responsibilities it entails is fighting against a superstitious valuation of Europe.
    Henry James (1843–1916)
