Comparsion of the functions of the Mandelbrot set and a bifurcation diagram.

The function for the Mandelbrot-set is:

Zn+1 = Zn2 + C

The function for the (standard) bifucation-diagram is:

Xn+1 = A · Xn · (1 - Xn)

The Mandel-formula is using a complex-number format, the bifurcation is using real numbers. But the formulas can be altered to the different form and used to write the Mandel as a bifurcation and the bifurcation as a complex escape-time fractal.

The real number Mandel formula is:

Xn+1 = Xn2 + A

And the complex bifurcation function is:

Zn+1 = C · Zn · (1 - Zn)

The image above shows all four variations, to the left the Mandelbort formula as a bifurcation diagram in white and also the complex "escape-time" visulation of the complex formula in blue, to the right, the same for the (standar, there are a lot of those =) bifurcation formula and as we can see, these formulas are strongly related.

The Mandel-formula is using a complex-number format, the bifurcation is using real numbers. But the formulas can be altered to the diffrent form and used to write the Mandel as a bifurcation and the bifurcation as a complex escape-time fractal.

More fractals from my tools:

All fractals are from self-written tools - linear IFS images from my: "2D IFS Studio", non-linear (rev Julia) from "3D RJIFS", (that also writes 2D rev Julias), escape time Z² fractals from "Julia dream", the rest are from small "hacks".
