Fractals/Iterations in the complex plane/Fatou coordinate

Fatou function

edit

Fatou function  :[3]

  • is defined only inside petal ( attracting petal or repelling ), not on the whole neighbourhood of the fixed point
  • is a conformal function which satifies Abel's equation[4][5]
  • transforms f(z) to unit translation  : "These are coordinates in which f looks like a translation." Małgorzata Stawiska[6]
  • maps petal to right half of plane in u coordinate.
  • unrolls invariant curvs ( orbits ) : maps "circles" to straight lines

Normalization

edit

Fatou coordinate can be normalized = it maps critical point to zero  :[7]

Parabolic fixed point is mapped to point at infinity on Riemann sphere

Fatou coordinate

edit

Fatou coordinate u :

where:

Description at Hyperoperations Wiki

  • what we call "Abel function",[8] they call it "Fatou coordinates".[9]
  • Fatou coordinates [10][11]
  • Shishikura perturbed Fatou coordinates [12]

QFract by INOU Hiroyuki and pictures

To build from the source code, you need :

Download source files from this page  :

First unpack the archive as follows

tar zcvf qfract-110725_2-src.tar.gz

Go to the program directory :

cd qfract-110725_2

and edit files :

  • Makefile,
  • config.h,
  • plugins/Makefile

to adjust your environment. For example in config.h change :

#define PLUGIN_PATH "/Users/inou/prog/qfract4/plugins"
#define COLORMAP_PATH "/Users/inou/prog/qfract4/colormaps"

for your own settings. Then to compile everything run from console :

make

To run the program from console :

./qfract
