- Summary: Some new programs
-
-
- There is some new and (I'd like to think) interesting code available
- by anonymous ftp on lyapunov.ucsd.edu, in the directory pub/inls-ucsd/spider.
-
- Spider is an XView program which does various things:
-
- * A variant of Thurston's algorithm for computing a postcritically
- finite polynomials from the angles of the external rays landing
- at the critical point. For example, enter 1/6 and get out c = i,
- for the quadratic case (If this makes no sense, nevermind, but
- notice that the dynamics of 1/6 under multiplication by 2 modulo 1
- has some relationship with the orbit of i under z^2+i).
-
- * It draws parameter (Mandelbrot set) and dynamical space (Julia sets)
- pictures using the Koebe 1/4 theorem as in The Science of
- Fractal Images. This part of the code was largely written by Marc Parmet,
- but it hasn't really seen the light of day much. This is pretty
- fast, but I don't really know how fast people draw things these
- days.
-
- * It draws external angles on Julia sets.
-
-
- If you want to understand the relationship between the Mandelbrot set
- and the dynamics of Julia sets, this program is for you.
