Complex quadratic polynomial
A complex quadratic polynomial is a quadratic polynomial whose coefficients are complex numbers.
Forms
When the quadratic polynomial has only one variable (univariate), one can distinguish its 4 main forms:
- The general form: where
- The factored form used for logistic map
- which has an indifferent fixed point with multiplier at the origin[1]
- The monic and centered form,
The monic and centered form has the following properties:
- It is the simplest form of a nonlinear function with one coefficient (parameter),
- It is an unicritical polynomial, i.e. it has one critical point,
- It is a centered polynomial (the sum of its critical points is zero),[2]
- It can be postcritically finite, i.e. If the orbit of the critical point is finite. It is when critical point is periodic or preperiodic.[3]
- It is a unimodal function,
- It is a rational function,
- It is an entire function.
Conjugation
Between forms
Since is affine conjugate to the general form of the quadratic polynomial it is often used to study complex dynamics and to create images of Mandelbrot, Julia and Fatou sets.

With doubling map
There is semi-conjugacy between the dyadic transformation (here named doubling map) and the quadratic polynomial.
Family
The family of quadratic polynomials parametrised by is called:
- the Douady-Hubbard family of quadratic polynomials[5]
- quadratic family
Map
The monic and centered form is typically used with variable and parameter :
When it is used as an evolution function of the discrete nonlinear dynamical system:
Notation
Here denotes the n-th iteration of the function not exponentiation
so
Because of the possible confusion it is customary to write for the nth iterate of the function
Critical items
Critical point
A critical point of is a point in the dynamical plane such that the derivative vanishes:
Since
implies
we see that the only (finite) critical point of is the point .
is an initial point for Mandelbrot set iteration.[7]
Critical value
A critical value of is the image of a critical point:
Since
we have
So the parameter is the critical value of
Critical orbit
Forward orbit of a critical point is called a critical orbit. Critical orbits are very important because every attracting periodic orbit attracts a critical point, so studying the critical orbits helps us understand the dynamics in the Fatou set.[8][9]
This orbit falls into an attracting periodic cycle.
Critical sector
The critical sector is a sector of the dynamical plane containing the critical point.
Critical polynomial
so
These polynomials are used for:
- finding centers of these Mandelbrot set components of period n. Centers are roots of n-th critical polynomials
- finding roots of Mandelbrot set components of period n (local minimum of )
- Misiurewicz points
Critical curves
Diagrams of critical polynomials are called critical curves.[10]
These curves create skeleton of bifurcation diagram.[11] (the dark lines[12])
Planes
One can use the Julia-Mandelbrot 4-dimensional space for a global analysis of this dynamical system.[13]
In this space there are 2 basic types of 2-D planes:
- the dynamical (dynamic) plane, -plane or c-plane
- the parameter plane or z-plane
There is also another plane used to analyze such dynamical systems w-plane:
Parameter plane
The phase space of a quadratic map is called its parameter plane. Here:
is constant and is variable.
There is no dynamics here. It is only a set of parameter values. There are no orbits on the parameter plane.
The parameter plane consists of:
- The Mandelbrot set
- The bifurcation locus = boundary of Mandelbrot set
- Bounded hyperbolic components of the Mandelbrot set = interior of Mandelbrot set[16]
There are many different subtypes of the parameter plane.[17][18]
Dynamical plane
On the dynamical plane one can find:
- The Julia set
- The Filled Julia set
- The Fatou set
- Orbits
The dynamical plane consists of:
- Fatou set
- Julia set
Here, is a constant and is a variable.
The two-dimensional dynamical plane can be treated as a Poincaré cross-section of three-dimensional space of continuous dynamical system.[19][20]
Derivatives
Derivative with respect to c
On parameter plane:
- is a variable
- is constant
The first derivative of with respect to c is
This derivative can be found by iteration starting with
and then replacing at every consecutive step
This can easily be verified by using the chain rule for the derivative.
This derivative is used in the distance estimation method for drawing a Mandelbrot set.
Derivative with respect to z
On dynamical plane:
- is a variable
- is a constant
at a fixed point
at a periodic point z0 of period p
It is used to check the stability of periodic (also fixed) points.
at nonperiodic point:
This derivative can be found by iteration starting with
and then :
This dervative is used for computing external distance to Julia set.
Schwarzian derivative
The Schwarzian derivative (SD for short) of f is:[21]
