Multibrot set facts for kids

In mathematics, the multibrot set is a set of numbers. These numbers are in the complex plane. These numbers have special traits that and are defined by a special function. The Multibrot set is similar to the Mandelbrot set. Other things similar to the multibrot set are the Buddhabrot set and the Nebulabrot set.

  Enlarged first quadrant of the multibrot set for the iteration z Template:Mapsto z−2 + c rendered using the Lyapunov exponent of the sequence as a stability criterion rather than using the Escape Time algorithm. Periodicity checking was used to colour the set according to the period of the cycles of the orbits.
