## 1/p

Video showing exernal dynamic rays landin on parabolic fixed point for internal angles 1/p of main cardioid

In the elephant valley[1][2] ( from parameter plane ) it is easy to find rays landing on the roots and dynamic external rays that land on the parabolic fixed point z.

• first choose internal angle (= combinatorial rotation number) : 1/p
• compute pair of parameter rays : ${\displaystyle ({\frac {1}{2^{p}-1}};{\frac {2}{2^{p}-1}})}$
• compute list of p external angles of dynamic rays : ${\displaystyle ({\frac {1}{2^{p}-1}}...{\frac {n}{2^{p}-1}})}$
internal angle of main cardioid parameter c = root point parameter rays parabolic fixed point z dynamic rays
0/1 (0/1; 1/1) (1/1)
1/2 (1/3; 2/3) (1/3; 2/3)
1/3 (1/7; 2/7) (1/7; 2/7; 4/7)
1/4 (1/15; 2/15) (1/15; 2/15; 4/15; 8/15)
1/5 (1/31; 2/31) (1/31; 2/31; 4/31; 8/31; 16/31)
1/6 (1/63; 2/63) (1/63; 2/63; 4/63, 8/63, 16/33; 32/63)
1/7 (1/127; 2/127) (1/127; 2/127; 4/127, 8/127, 16/127; 32/127; 64/127)
1/p ${\displaystyle ({\frac {1}{2^{p}-1}};{\frac {2}{2^{p}-1}})}$  ${\displaystyle ({\frac {1}{2^{p}-1}}...{\frac {n}{2^{p}-1}})}$

Note that :

• internal ray 0/1 = 1/1
• internal angle 1/p means that ray goes from period 1 component ( parent period = 1) to period p component ( child period = p)
• as child period grows computations are harder
• exponential growth[3] of ${\displaystyle 2^{p}}$ . One can easly create a numeric value that is too large to be represented within the available storage space ( integer overflow[4] ). For example ${\displaystyle 2^{34}}$  is to big for short ( 16 bit ) and long ( 32 bit) integer.

## n/p

It is not so simple, as in 1/p case, to compute orbit portrait[7] of parabolic fixed point.

Algorithm :

• choose child period p
• compute internal angle ( rational number) = n/p ( where n<p and n/p is ... ( to do ))
• compute denominator of external angle = ${\displaystyle 2^{p}-1}$
• find parameter rays that land on the root point which is on the boundary of main cardioid :
• compute all pairs for periods 1-p
• remove pairs which land not on the main cardioid ( inside < 1/3; 2/3 > wake )
• compute pairs of external angles which are not inside pairs of lower periods (see image on the right )
• choose n-th pair of angles which land on the root point
• switch to dynamic plane : use one angle from pair of parameter rays ( rays with the same angles land on the parabolic fixed point) to compute orbit portrait of parabolic fixed point
