The '''Barnsley Fern''' is a [[fractal]] named after the British [[mathematician]] [[Michael Barnsley]] who first described it in his book ''Fractals Everywhere''.<ref name=Fractals>[http://books.google.nl/books?id=oh7NoePgmOIC&dq Fractals Everywhere], Boston, MA: Academic Press, 1993, ISBN 0-12-079062-9</ref> He made it to resemble the Black Spleenwort, ''[[Asplenium adiantum-nigrum]]''.
 
== History ==
The fern is one of the basic examples of [[self-similarity|self-similar]] sets, i.e. it is a mathematically generated pattern that can be reproducible at any magnification or reduction. Like the [[Sierpinski triangle]], the Barnsley fern shows how graphically beautiful structures can be built from repetitive uses of mathematical formulas with computers. Barnsley's book about fractals is based on the course which he taught for undergraduate and graduate students in the School of Mathematics, [[Georgia Institute of Technology]], called ''Fractal Geometry''. After publishing the book, a second course was developed, called ''Fractal Measure Theory''.<ref name=Fractals /> Barnsley's work has been a source of inspiration to [[Graphics|graphic artists]] attempting to imitate nature with mathematical models.
 
The fern code developed by Barnsley is an example of an [[iterated function system]] (IFS) to create a fractal. He has used fractals to model a diverse range of phenomena
in science and technology, but most specifically plant structures.
 
{{quote|"IFSs provide models for certain plants, leaves, and ferns, by virtue of the self-similarity which often occurs in branching structures in nature. But nature also exhibits randomness and variation from one level to the next; no two ferns are exactly alike, and the branching fronds become leaves at a smaller scale. V-variable fractals allow for such randomness and variability across scales, while at the same time admitting a continuous dependence on parameters which facilitates geometrical modelling. These factors allow us to make the hybrid biological models...
 
...we speculate that when a V -variable geometrical fractal model is found that has a good match to the geometry of a given plant, then there is a specific relationship between these code trees and the information stored in the genes of the plant.''}}—Michael Barnsley ''et al.''<ref name=V-variable>[[Michael Barnsley]], ''et al.'',{{PDF|[http://www.maths.anu.edu.au/~barnsley/pdfs/V-var_super_fractals.pdf "V-variable fractals and superfractals"]|2.22&nbsp;MB}}</ref>
 
== Construction ==
[[File:Sa-fern.jpg|thumb|Real ''Asplenium'' ferns.]]
 
Barnsley's fern uses four [[affine transformation]]s.  The formula for one transformation is the following:
:<math>
f(x,y) = \begin{bmatrix} \ a & \ b \ \\ c & \ d \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \ x \\ y \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} \ e \\ f \end{bmatrix}
</math>
Barnsley shows the ''IFS'' code for his ''Black Spleenwort'' fern fractal as a matrix of values shown in a table.<ref name=Fractals>''Fractals Everywhere'', table III.3, IFS code for a fern.</ref> In the table, the columns "a" through "f" are the coefficients of the equation, and "p" represents the probability factor.

=== Computer generation ===
[[File:Barnsley Fern fractals - 4 states.PNG|thumb|right|Fractal fern in four states of construction. Highlighted triangles show how the half of one ''leaflet'' is transformed to half of one whole ''leaf'' or ''frond''.]]
Though Barnsley's fern could in theory be plotted by hand with a pen and graph paper, the number of iterations necessary runs into the tens of thousands, which makes use of a computer practically mandatory.  Many different computer models of Barnsley's fern are popular with contemporary mathematicians. As long as the math is programmed correctly using Barnsley's matrix of constants, the same fern shape will be produced.
 
The first point drawn is at the origin (''x''<sub>0</sub> = 0, ''y''<sub>0</sub> = 0) and then the new points are iteratively computed by randomly applying one of the following four coordinate transformations:<ref>{{cite book | last=Barnsley | first=Michael | title=Fractals everywhere | publisher=Morgan Kaufmann | year=2000 | isbn=0-12-079069-6 | pages=86 | url=http://books.google.com/books?id=oh7NoePgmOIC&printsec=frontcover#PPA86,M1 | accessdate=2010-01-07 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last=Weisstein | first=Eric | url=http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BarnsleysFern.html | title=Barnsley's Fern | accessdate=2010-01-07 }}</ref>
 
''ƒ''<sub>1</sub>
:''x''<sub>''n'' + 1</sub> = 0
 
:''y''<sub>''n'' + 1</sub> = 0.16 ''y''<sub>''n''</sub>.
 
This coordinate transformation is chosen 1% of the time and just maps any point to a point in the first line segment at the base of the stem. This part of the figure is the first to be completed in during the course of iterations.
 
''ƒ''<sub>2</sub>
:''x''<sub>''n'' + 1</sub> = 0.85 ''x''<sub>''n''</sub> + 0.04 ''y''<sub>''n''</sub>
 
:''y''<sub>''n'' + 1</sub> = −0.04 ''x''<sub>''n''</sub> + 0.85 ''y''<sub>''n''</sub> + 1.6.
 
This coordinate transformation is chosen 85% of the time and maps any point inside the leaflet represented by the red triangle to a point inside the opposite, smaller leaflet represented by the blue triangle in the figure.
 
''ƒ''<sub>3</sub>
:''x''<sub>''n'' + 1</sub> = 0.2 ''x''<sub>''n''</sub>&nbsp;−&nbsp;0.26&nbsp;''y''<sub>''n''</sub>
 
:''y''<sub>''n'' + 1</sub> = 0.23 ''x''<sub>''n''</sub>&nbsp;+&nbsp;0.22 ''y''<sub>''n''</sub>&nbsp;+&nbsp;1.6.
 
This coordinate transformation is chosen 7% of the time and maps any point inside the leaflet (or ''pinna'') represented by the blue triangle to a point inside the alternating corresponding triangle across the stem (it flips it).
 
''ƒ''<sub>4</sub>
:''x''<sub>''n'' + 1</sub> = −0.15 ''x''<sub>''n''</sub> + 0.28 ''y''<sub>''n''</sub>
 
:''y''<sub>''n'' + 1</sub> = 0.26 ''x''<sub>''n''</sub> + 0.24 ''y''<sub>''n''</sub> + 0.44.
 
This coordinate transformation is chosen 7% of the time and maps any point inside the leaflet (or ''pinna'') represented by the blue triangle to a point inside the alternating corresponding triangle across the stem (without flipping it).
 
The first coordinate transformation draws the stem. The second generates successive copies of the stem and bottom fronds to make the complete fern. The third draws the bottom frond on the left. The fourth draws the bottom frond on the right. The recursive nature of the IFS guarantees that the whole is a larger replica of each frond. Note that the complete fern is within the range −2.1820&nbsp;<&nbsp;''x''&nbsp;<&nbsp;2.6558 and 0&nbsp;≤&nbsp;''y''&nbsp;<&nbsp;9.9983.

[[File:Barnsley fern mutated -Leptosporangiate fern.PNG|thumb|Barnsley fern mutated into a [[leptosporangiate fern]].]]
 
By playing with the coefficients, it is possible to create mutant fern varieties. In his paper on V-variable fractals, Barnsley calls this trait a ''superfractal''.<ref name=V-variable />
 
One experimenter has come up with a table of coefficients to produce another remarkably naturally looking fern however, resembling the ''[[Cyclosorus]]'' or ''[[Thelypteridaceae]]'' fern. These are:<ref>[http://www.home.aone.net.au/~byzantium/ferns/fractal.html Other fern varieties] with supplied coefficients, retrieved 2010-1-7</ref>
