Definition2 Set of Julia
The full set of Julia Kc is defined as:
The set of Julia is
composed of all the initial values (z0) that entails the convergence of
the chain previously defined. The border of this field is called set of
Julia Jc.
With these definitions,
the chaos can be geometrically observed. Indeed, if a point is near the
border of the set of Julia but not in it, the chain beginning by this point
will diverge. The extreme sensibility of the initial conditions can then
be observed.
Plotting method
To plot the results, one method is to take each point of the calculation field as the initial value z0 for a given c and compute the chain. If there is convergence of the chain - which means that after a fixed number of iterations, |z| is inferior to an arbitrarely fixed number M - the initial value is plotted. The form we get depends on the value of c.

Results
c is chosen for having 0 cyclic with an order of 3: 0 gives c, c gives c^2 + c and c^2 + c gives (c^2 + c)^2 + c. So c is solution of the equation: (c^2 + c)^2 + c = 0. The value taken for c was an approximation: c = -0.1 + 0.7i.
- The rabbit of A. Douady
N.B.: The equation (c^2 + c)^2 +
c = 0 has four roots: 0; -1.76; -0.1+0.7i; -0.1-0.7i. If the calculations
are done with
c = -0.1 - 0.7i,
the result has the image of the rabbit by the symmetry whose axis is the
real axis. This could be predicted since the value of c for this calculation
is the conjugate of the parameter c previously considered.
In tha same way as Douady's, I determined values for c as solutions of ((c^2 + c)^2 + c)^2 + c = 0. I first chose c = 0.3 + 0.5i. In the same way as before, The super-attractors were plotted: 0, c, c^2 + c, (c^2 + c)^2 + c.
- 0 cyclic with an order of 4
Another root
of the equation was computed: c = -0.16 + i.
The results for this value of c are not very easy to comment. That must come from the increase of space for each iteration that is 0.01. I tryed to reduce the caluclation field and to increase the space step. But it tended to numerical and computer problems: No more memory available!!!
