It can be tough to sift through the countless sources of home improvement information available today. Home improvement can be twice as hard and boring without good information for guidance. When it comes to home improvement advice, the tips here will get you started. Putting weatherstripping in your home will ensure that you will have a better energy footing. The savings on your energy bill will more than cover the costs of this inexpensive repair.
[[Image:Julia set 3d slice animation.ogg|thumb|256px|right|Three-dimensional slices through the (four-dimensional) Julia set of a function on the [[quaternion]]s.]]
In the context of [[complex dynamics]], a topic of [[mathematics]], the '''Julia set''' and the '''Fatou set''' are two [[complement set|complementary sets]] defined from a [[function (mathematics)|function]]. Informally, the Fatou set of the function consists of values with the property that all nearby values behave similarly under [[iterated function|repeated iteration]] of the function, and the Julia set consists of values such that an arbitrarily small [[Perturbation theory|perturbation]] can cause drastic changes in the sequence of iterated function values.
Thus the behavior of the function on the Fatou set is 'regular', while on the Julia set its behavior is '[[chaos theory|chaotic]]'.


The Julia set of a function ''f'' is commonly denoted ''J''(''f''), and the Fatou set is denoted ''F''(''f'').<ref>Note that for other areas of mathematics the notation ''J''(''f'') can also represent the [[Jacobian matrix#Jacobian matrix|Jacobian matrix]] of a real valued mapping ''f'' between [[smooth manifold]]s.</ref> These sets are named after the French mathematicians [[Gaston Julia]]<ref>Gaston Julia (1918) "Mémoire sur l'iteration des fonctions rationnelles," ''Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées'', vol. 8, pages 47&ndash;245.</ref> and [[Pierre Fatou]]<ref>Pierre Fatou (1917) "Sur les substitutions rationnelles," ''Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences de Paris'', vol. 164, pages 806-808 and vol. 165, pages 992&ndash;995.</ref> whose work began the study of [[complex dynamics]] during the early 20th century.
No longer will you feel a draft on a cool night. If you have old shoe boxes handy, then you have extra storage for any room. Use some old fabric or wallpaper to create an attractive design for the boxes. You can add a lot of pizazz to your room and storage! When you start home improvements, you should think about how much you will have to do. Get together a list of tasks you would like to undertake.


==Formal definition==
Seek out a second opinion to ensure you haven't missed anything in your assessment. If you know exactly what must be done, you will  If you have any inquiries relating to where and ways to utilize diy improvements ([http://www.homeimprovementdaily.com homeimprovementdaily.com]), you could call us at the web-page. be able to economize. As you begin your home improvement project, take care not to demolish too quickly. Closely examine the area behind cabinet or wall before demolishing it. It can be very expensive to fix any electrical components that are damaged during the making of home improvements.
Let ''f''(''z'') be a complex [[rational function]] from the plane into itself, that is, <math>f(z) = p(z)/q(z)</math>, where ''p''(''z'') and ''q''(''z'') are [[Complex Polynomial|complex polynomials]]. Then there is a finite number of [[open set]]s ''F''<sub>1</sub>, ..., ''F<sub>r</sub>'', that are left invariant by ''f''(''z'') and are such that:


#the union of the ''F<sub>i</sub>'''s is dense in the plane and
Place furniture away from your walls to make your rooms appear larger. The room will seem bigger and feel more modern. Almost any building supply you can think would be use in a home improvement project is great fodder for thieves. Always see that all materials are fully secured when nobody will be around to watch them. If the house being worked on is secure you can leave them inside. If your home is not secure enough, consider a storage container or unit that can be locked.
#''f''(''z'') behaves in a regular and equal way on each of the sets ''F<sub>i</sub>''.


The last statement means that the termini of the sequences of iterations generated by the points of ''F<sub>i</sub>'' are either precisely the same set, which is then a finite cycle, or they are finite cycles of circular or annular shaped sets that are lying concentrically. In the first case the cycle is ''attracting'', in the second it is ''neutral''.
Outdoor space should be utilized when looking to improve your home. Part of your backyard can function as additional living space. It is the perfect area for barbecuing or simply relaxing after a long day at work. Sand wooden objects before staining to make sure the wood is smooth. Follow up by wiping with a damp cloth. Using a fine sandpaper on the surface will smooth it to an even finish. The damp rag removes the dust and will also help create your desired smooth finish.


These sets ''F<sub>i</sub>'' are the '''Fatou domains''' of ''f''(''z''), and their union is the '''Fatou set''' ''F''(''f'') of ''f''(''z''). Each of the Fatou domains contains at least one [[critical point mathematics|critical point]] of ''f''(''z''), that is, a (finite) point ''z'' satisfying <math>f'(z) = 0</math>, or ''z'' = ∞, if the degree of the numerator ''p''(''z'') is at least two larger than the degree of the denominator ''q''(''z''), or if <math>f(z) = 1/g(z) + c</math> for some ''c'' and a rational function ''g''(''z'') satisfying this condition.
Do enjoy the outdoors, but hate all those bugs? Try enclosing a portion of your house and installing a screen. It can mean somewhere to relax and read, or for family dining, all free of insects. A ceiling fan will increase your comfort. Mold and rust can turn into a large issue. Particularly in older homes, these can become a common sight that may cause major damage. If you catch them early, they are relatively easy to fix.
 
The complement of ''F''(''f'') is the '''Julia set''' ''J''(''f'') of ''f''(''z''). ''J''(''f'') is a nowhere dense set (it is without interior points) and an [[uncountable]] set (of the same [[cardinality]] as the real numbers). Like ''F''(''f''), ''J''(''f'') is left invariant by ''f''(''z''), and on this set the iteration is repelling, meaning that <math>|f(z) - f(w)| > |z - w|</math> for all ''w'' in a neighbourhood of ''z'' (within ''J''(''f'')). This means that ''f''(''z'') behaves chaotically on the Julia set. Although there are points in the Julia set whose sequence of iterations is finite, there are only a [[countable]] number of such points (and they make up an infinitely small part of the Julia set). The sequences generated by points outside this set behave chaotically, a phenomenon called ''deterministic chaos''.
 
There has been extensive research on the Fatou set and Julia set of iterated [[rational functions]], known as rational maps. For example, it is known that the Fatou set of a rational map has either 0,1,2 or infinitely many [[Connected component (analysis)|components]].<ref>Beardon, ''Iteration of Rational Functions'', Theorem 5.6.2</ref> Each component of the Fatou set of a rational map can be classified into one of [[Classification of Fatou components|four different classes]].<ref>Beardon, Theorem 7.1.1</ref>
 
==Equivalent descriptions of the Julia set==
*  ''J''(''f'') is the smallest closed set containing at least three points which is completely invariant under ''f''.
*  ''J''(''f'') is the [[Closure (mathematics)|closure]] of the set of repelling [[periodic point]]s.
*  For all but at most two points ''z'' ∈ ''X'', the Julia set is the set of limit points of the full backwards orbit <math>\bigcup_n f^{-n}(z)</math>. (This suggests a simple algorithm for plotting Julia sets, see below.)
*  If ''f'' is an [[entire function]], then ''J''(''f'') is the [[boundary (topology)|boundary]] of the set of points which converge to infinity under iteration.
*  If ''f'' is a polynomial, then ''J''(''f'') is the boundary of the [[filled Julia set]]; that is, those points whose orbits under iterations of ''f'' remain bounded.
 
==Properties of the Julia set and Fatou set==
The Julia set and the Fatou set of ''f'' are both [[Invariant (mathematics)|completely invariant]] under iterations of the holomorphic function ''f'':<ref>Beardon, ''Iteration of Rational Functions'', Theorem 3.2.4</ref>
:<math>f^{-1}(J(f)) = f(J(f)) = J(f)</math>
:<math>f^{-1}(F(f)) = f(F(f)) = F(f)</math>
 
==Examples==
For <math>f(z) = z^{2}</math> the Julia set is the unit circle and on this the iteration is given by doubling of angles (an operation that is chaotic on the points whose argument is not a rational fraction of <math>2\pi</math>). There are two Fatou domains: the interior and the exterior of the circle, with iteration towards 0 and ∞, respectively.
 
For <math>f(z) = z^{2} - 2</math> the Julia set is the line segment between −2 and 2.  There is one Fatou domain: the points not on the line segment iterate towards ∞.  (Apart from a shift and scaling of the domain, this iteration is equivalent to <math>x \to 4(x - \tfrac{1}{2})^{2}</math> on the unit interval, which is commonly used as an example of chaotic system.)
 
These two functions are of the form <math>z^2 + c</math>, where ''c'' is a complex number. For such an iteration the Julia set is not in general a simple curve, but is a fractal, and for some values of ''c'' it can take surprising shapes. See the pictures below.
 
[[Image:Julia-set N z3-1.png||thumb|right|Julia set (in white) for the rational function associated to [[Newton's method]] for ''f'' : ''z''→''z''<sup>3</sup>−1. Coloring of Fatou set  according to attractor (the roots of ''f'')]]
For some functions ''f''(''z'') we can say beforehand that the Julia set is a fractal and not a simple curve. This is because of the following result on the iterations of a rational function:
 
<blockquote>'''Theorem.''' Each of the Fatou domains has the same boundary, which consequently is the Julia set.</blockquote>
 
This means that each point of the Julia set is a point of accumulation for each of the Fatou domains. Therefore, if there are more than two Fatou domains, ''each'' point of the Julia set must have points of more than two different open sets infinitely close, and this means that the Julia set cannot be a simple curve. This phenomenon happens, for instance, when ''f''(''z'') is the [[Newton iteration]] for solving the equation ''z<sup>n</sup>'' = 1 for ''n'' > 2:
 
:<math>f(z) = z - \frac{f(z)}{f'(z)} = \frac{1 + (n-1)z^n}{nz^{n-1}}.</math>
 
The image on the right shows the case ''n'' = 3.
 
==Quadratic polynomials==
A very popular complex dynamical system is given by the family of  [[Complex quadratic polynomial|quadratic polynomials]], a special case of [[Rational function|rational maps]]. The  [[Complex quadratic polynomial|quadratic polynomials]] can be expressed as
:<math>f_c(z) = z^2 + c</math>
where ''c'' is a complex parameter.

[[File:Julia Mandelbrot relationship map 300 (90,000 sets).png|thumb|A Julia set plot showing Julia sets for different values of c; it resembles the [[Mandelbrot set]]]]
 
The parameter plane of quadratic polynomials - that is, the plane of possible ''c''-values - gives rise to the famous [[Mandelbrot set]]. Indeed, the Mandelbrot set is defined as the set of all ''c'' such that <math>J(f_c)</math> is [[connected set|connected]]. For parameters outside the Mandelbrot set, the Julia set is a [[Cantor space]]: in this case it is sometimes referred to as '''Fatou dust'''.
 
In many cases, the Julia set of ''c'' looks like the Mandelbrot set in sufficiently small neighborhoods of ''c''. This is true, in particular, for so-called [[Misiurewicz point|'Misiurewicz' parameters]], i.e. parameters ''c'' for which the critical point is pre-periodic. For instance:
*At ''c'' = ''i'', the shorter, front toe of the forefoot, the Julia set looks like a branched lightning bolt.
*At ''c'' = −2, the tip of the long spiky tail, the Julia set is a straight line segment.
 
In other words the Julia sets <math>J(f_c)</math> are locally similar around [[Misiurewicz point]]s.<ref>[http://projecteuclid.org/euclid.cmp/1104201823 Lei.pdf]  Tan Lei, "Similarity between the Mandelbrot set and Julia Sets", Communications in Mathematical Physics 134 (1990), pp. 587&ndash;617.</ref>

==Generalizations==
The definition of Julia and Fatou sets easily carries over to the case of certain maps whose image contains their domain; most notably [[meromorphic function|transcendental meromorphic functions]] and Adam Epstein's '''finite-type maps'''.
 
Julia sets are also commonly defined in the study of dynamics in several complex variables.
 
==The potential function and the real iteration number==
The Julia set for <math>f(z) = z^{2}</math> is the unit circle, and on the outer Fatou domain, the ''potential function'' φ(''z'') is defined by φ(''z'') = log|''z''|. The equipotential lines for this function are concentric circles. As <math>|f(z)| = |z|^{2}</math> we have
 
:<math>\varphi(z) = \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{\log|z_k|}{2^k},</math>
 
where <math>z_k</math> is the sequence of iteration generated by ''z''. For the more general iteration <math>f(z) = z^2 + c</math>, it has been proved that if the Julia set is connected (that is, if ''c'' belongs to the (usual) Mandelbrot set), then there exist a [[biholomorphic]] map ψ between the outer Fatou domain and the outer of the unit circle such that <math>|\psi(f(z))| = |\psi(z)|^{2}</math>.<ref>Adrien Douady and John H. Hubbard, ''Etude dynamique des polynômes complexes'', Prépublications mathémathiques d'Orsay 2/4 (1984 / 1985)</ref> This means that the potential function on the outer Fatou domain defined by this correspondence is given by:
 
:<math>\varphi(z) = \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{\log|z_k|}{2^k}. </math>
 
This formula has meaning also if the Julia set is not connected, so that we for all ''c'' can define the potential function on the Fatou domain containing ∞ by this formula. For a general rational function ''f''(''z'') such that ∞ is a critical point and a fixed point, that is, such that the degree ''m'' of the numerator is at least two larger than the degree ''n'' of the denominator, we define the ''potential function'' on the Fatou domain containing ∞ by:
 
:<math>\varphi(z) = \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{\log|z_k|}{d^k},</math>
 
where ''d'' = ''m'' − ''n'' is the degree of the rational function.<ref name="Peitgen1986">{{cite book |title=[[The Beauty of Fractals]] |last=Peitgen |first=Heinz-Otto |authorlink= |coauthors=Richter Peter |year=1986 |publisher=Springer-Verlag |location=Heidelberg |isbn=0-387-15851-0 |pages= }}</ref>
 
If ''N'' is a very large number (e.g. 10<sup>100</sup>), and if ''k'' is the first iteration number such that <math>|z_k| > N</math>, we have that
 
:<math>\frac{\log|z_k|}{d^k} = \frac{\log(N)}{d^{\nu(z)}},</math>
 
for some real number <math>\nu(z)</math>, which should be regarded as the ''real iteration number'', and we have that:
 
:<math>\nu(z) = k - \frac{\log(\log|z_k|/\log(N))}{\log(d)},</math>
 
where the last number is in the interval [0,&nbsp;1).
 
For iteration towards a finite attracting cycle of order ''r'', we have that if ''z*'' is a point of the cycle, then <math>f(f(...f(z^*))) = z^*</math> (the ''r''-fold composition), and the number
 
:<math>\alpha = \frac{1}{\left |(d(f(f(\cdots f(z))))/dz)_{z=z^*} \right |} \qquad ( > 1)</math>
 
is the ''attraction'' of the cycle. If ''w'' is a point very near ''z*'' and ''w''' is ''w'' iterated ''r'' times, we have that
 
:<math>\alpha = \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{|w - z^*|}{|w' - z^*|}.</math>
 
Therefore the number <math>|z_{kr} - z^*|\alpha^{k}</math> is almost independent of ''k''. We define the potential function on the Fatou domain by:
 
:<math>\varphi(z) = \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{1}{(|z_{kr} - z^*|\alpha^{k})}.</math>
 
If ε is a very small number and ''k'' is the first iteration number such that <math>|z_k - z^*| < \epsilon</math>, we have that
 
:<math>\varphi(z) = \frac{1}{(\varepsilon \alpha^{\nu(z)})}</math>
 
for some real number <math>\nu(z)</math>, which should be regarded as the real iteration number, and we have that:
 
:<math>\nu(z) = k - \frac{\log(\varepsilon/|z_k - z^*|)}{\log(\alpha)}.</math>
 
If the attraction is ∞, meaning that the cycle is ''super-attracting'', meaning again that one of the points of the cycle is a critical point, we must replace α by
 
:<math>\alpha = \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{\log|w' - z^*|}{\log|w - z^*|},</math>
 
where ''w''' is ''w'' iterated ''r'' times and the formula for φ(''z'') by:
 
:<math>\varphi(z) = \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{\log(1/|z_{kr} - z^*|)}{\alpha^k}. </math>
 
And now the real iteration number is given by:
 
:<math>\nu(z) = k - \frac{\log(\log|z_k - z^*|/\log(\varepsilon))}{\log(\alpha)}.</math>
 
For the colouring we must have a cyclic scale of colours (constructed mathematically, for instance) and containing ''H'' colours numbered from 0 to ''H''−1 (''H'' = 500, for instance). We multiply the real number <math>\nu(z)</math> by a fixed real number determining the density of the colours in the picture, and take the integral part of this number modulo ''H''.
 
The definition of the potential function and our way of colouring presuppose that the cycle is attracting, that is, not neutral. If the cycle is neutral, we cannot colour the Fatou domain in a natural way. As the terminus of the iteration is a revolving movement, we can, for instance, colour by the minimum distance from the cycle left fixed by the iteration.
 
==Field lines==
[[Image:Juliasetsdkfieldlines2.jpg|thumb|right|The equipotential lines for iteration towards infinity]][[Image:Juliasetsdkfieldlines1.jpg|thumb|right|Field lines for an iteration of the form <math>\frac{(1 - z^3/6)}{(z - z^{2}/2)^2} + c</math>]]In each Fatou domain (that is not neutral) there are two systems of lines orthogonal to each other: the ''equipotential lines'' (for the potential function or the real iteration number) and the ''field lines''.
 
If we colour the Fatou domain according to the iteration number (and ''not'' the real iteration number), the bands of iteration show the course of the equipotential lines. If the iteration is towards ∞ (as is the case with the outer Fatou domain for the usual iteration <math>z^{2} + c</math>), we can easily show the course of the field lines, namely by altering the colour according as the last point in the sequence of iteration is above or below the ''x''-axis (first picture), but in this case (more precisely: when the Fatou domain is super-attracting) we cannot draw the field lines coherently - at least not by the method we describe here. In this case a field line is also called an [[external ray]].
 
Let ''z'' be a point in the attracting Fatou domain. If we iterate ''z'' a large number of times, the terminus of the sequence of iteration is a finite cycle ''C'', and the Fatou domain is (by definition) the set of points whose sequence of iteration converges towards ''C''. The field lines issue from the points of ''C'' and from the (infinite number of) points that iterate ''into'' a point of ''C''. And they end on the Julia set in points that are non-chaotic (that is, generating a finite cycle). Let ''r'' be the order of the cycle ''C'' (its number of points) and let ''z*'' be a point in ''C''. We have <math>f(f(\dots f(z^*))) = z^*</math> (the r-fold composition), and we define the complex number α by
 
:<math>\alpha = (d(f(f(\dots f(z))))/dz)_{z=z^*}.</math>
 
If the points of ''C'' are <math>z_i, i = 1, \dots, r (z_1 = z^*)</math>, α is the product of the ''r'' numbers <math>f'(z_i)</math>. The real number 1/|α| is the ''attraction'' of the cycle, and our assumption that the cycle is neither neutral nor super-attracting, means that 1&nbsp;<&nbsp;1/|α|&nbsp;<&nbsp;∞. The point ''z*'' is a fixed point for <math>f(f(\dots f(z)))</math>, and near this point the map <math>f(f(\dots f(z)))</math> has (in connection with field lines) character of a rotation with the argument β of α (that is, <math>\alpha = |\alpha|e^{\beta i}</math>).
 
In order to colour the Fatou domain, we have chosen a small number ε and set the sequences of iteration <math>z_k (k = 0, 1, 2, \dots, z_0 = z)</math> to stop when <math>|z_k - z^*| < \epsilon</math>, and we colour the point ''z'' according to the number ''k'' (or the real iteration number, if we prefer a smooth colouring). If we choose a direction from ''z*'' given by an angle θ, the field line issuing from ''z*'' in this direction consists of the points ''z'' such that the argument ψ of the number <math>z_k - z^*</math> satisfies the condition that
 
:<math>\psi - k\beta = \theta \mod \pi. \, </math>
 
For if we pass an iteration band in the direction of the field lines (and away from the cycle), the iteration number ''k'' is increased by 1 and the number ψ is increased by β, therefore the number <math>\psi - k\beta \mod \pi</math> is constant along the field line.
 
[[Image:Juliasetsdkfieldlines4.jpg|thumb|right|Pictures in the field lines for an iteration of the form <math>z^2 + c</math>]]
 
A colouring of the field lines of the Fatou domain means that we colour the spaces between pairs of field lines: we choose a number of regularly situated directions issuing from ''z*'', and in each of these directions we choose two directions around this direction. As it can happen that the two field lines of a pair do not end in the same point of the Julia set, our coloured field lines can ramify (endlessly) in their way towards the Julia set. We can colour on the basis of the distance to the centre line of the field line, and we can mix this colouring with the usual colouring. Such pictures can be very decorative (second picture).
 
A coloured field line (the domain between two field lines) is divided up by the iteration bands, and such a part can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the unit square: the one coordinate is (calculated from) the distance from one of the bounding field lines, the other is (calculated from) the distance from the inner of the bounding iteration bands (this number is the non-integral part of the real iteration number). Therefore we can put pictures into the field lines (third picture).
 
==Distance estimation==
[[File:Juliasetsdkjulia1.jpg||thumb|right|Julia set drawn by distance estimation, the iteration is of the form <math>1 - z^{2} + z^{5}/(2 + 4z) + c</math>]]
[[File:Juliasetsdkland1.jpg||thumb|right|Three-dimensional rendering of Julia set using distance estimation]]
As a Julia set is infinitely thin we cannot draw it effectively by backwards iteration from the pixels. It will appear fragmented because of the impracticality of examining infinitely many startpoints. Since the iteration count changes vigorously near the Julia set, a partial solution is to imply the outline of the set from  the nearest color contours, but the set will tend to look muddy.
 
A better way to draw the Julia set in black and white is to estimate the distance of pixels from the set and to color every pixel whose center is close to the set. The formula for the distance estimation is derived from the formula for the potential function φ(''z''). When the equipotential lines for φ(''z'') lie close, the number <math>|\varphi'(z)|</math> is large, and conversely, therefore the equipotential lines for the function <math>\delta(z) = \varphi(z)/|\varphi'(z)|</math> should lie approximately regularly. It has been proven that the value found by this formula (up to a constant factor) converges towards the true distance for z converging towards the Julia set.<ref name="Peitgen1986" />
 
We assume that ''f''(''z'') is rational, that is, <math>f(z) = p(z)/q(z)</math> where ''p''(''z'') and ''q''(''z'') are complex polynomials of degrees ''m'' and ''n'', respectively, and we have to find the derivative of the above expressions for φ(''z''). And as it is only <math>z_k</math> that varies, we must calculate the derivative <math>z'_k</math> of <math>z_k</math> with respect to ''z''. But as <math>z_k = f(f(\cdots f(z)))</math> (the ''k''-fold composition), <math>z'_k</math> is the product of the numbers <math>f'(z_k)</math>, and this sequence can be calculated recursively by <math>z'_{k+1} = f'(z_k)z'_k</math>, starting with <math>z'_0 = 1</math> (''before'' the calculation of the next iteration <math>z_{k+1} = f(z_k)</math>).
 
For iteration towards ∞ (more precisely when ''m''&nbsp;≥&nbsp;''n''&nbsp;+&nbsp;2, so that ∞ is a super-attracting fixed point), we have
 
:<math>|\varphi'(z)| = \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{|z'_k|}{|z_k|d^k},</math>
 
(''d'' = ''m''&nbsp;−&nbsp;''n'') and consequently:
 
:<math>\delta(z) = \varphi(z)/|\varphi'(z)| = \lim_{k\to\infty} \log|z_k||z_k|/|z'_k|. \, </math>
 
For iteration towards a finite attracting cycle (that is not super-attracting) containing the point ''z*'' and having order ''r'', we have
 
:<math>|\varphi'(z)| = \lim_{k\to\infty} |z'_{kr}|/(|z_{kr} - z^*|^{2}\alpha^{k}), \, </math>
 
and consequently:
 
:<math>\delta(z) = \varphi(z)/|\varphi'(z)| = \lim_{k\to\infty} |z_{kr} - z^*|/|z'_{kr}|. \, </math>
 
For a super-attracting cycle, the formula is:
 
:<math>\delta(z) = \lim_{k\to\infty} \log|z_{kr} - z^*|^2/|z'_{kr}|. \, </math>
 
We calculate this number when the iteration stops. Note that the distance estimation is independent of the attraction of the cycle. This means that it has meaning for transcendental functions of "degree infinity" (e.g. sin(''z'') and tan(''z'')).
 
Besides drawing of the boundary, the distance function can be introduced as a 3rd dimension to create a solid fractal landscape.
 
== Plotting the Julia set ==

===Using backwards (inverse) iteration (IIM) ===
[[Image:Reversed Julia set C = ( 0.4 0.3 ).gif|thumb|A Julia set plot, generated using random IIM]]
[[Image:Miimcr.png|right|thumb|A Julia set plot, generated using MIIM]]
As mentioned above, the Julia set can be found as the set of limit points of the set of pre-images of (essentially) any given point. So we can try to plot the Julia set of a given function as follows. Start with any point ''z'' we know to be in the Julia set, such as a repelling periodic point, and compute all pre-images of ''z'' under some high iterate <math>f^n</math> of ''f''.
 
Unfortunately, as the number of iterated pre-images grows exponentially, this is not feasible computationally. However, we can adjust this method, in a similar way as the "random game" method for [[iterated function system]]s. That is, in each step, we choose at random one of the inverse images of ''f''.
 
For example, for the quadratic polynomial ''f<sub>c</sub>'', the backwards iteration is described by
 
:<math>z_{n-1} = \sqrt{z_n - c} .</math>
 
At each step, one of the two square roots is selected at random.
 
Note that certain parts of the Julia set are quite difficult to access with the reverse Julia algorithm. For this reason, one must modify IIM/J ( it is called MIIM/J) or use other methods to produce better images.
 
===Using DEM/J===

It can be tough to sift through the countless sources of home improvement information available today. Home improvement can be twice as hard and boring without good information for guidance. When it comes to home improvement advice, the tips here will get you started. Putting weatherstripping in your home will ensure that you will have a better energy footing. The savings on your energy bill will more than cover the costs of this inexpensive repair.

No longer will you feel a draft on a cool night. If you have old shoe boxes handy, then you have extra storage for any room. Use some old fabric or wallpaper to create an attractive design for the boxes. You can add a lot of pizazz to your room and storage! When you start home improvements, you should think about how much you will have to do. Get together a list of tasks you would like to undertake.
Seek out a second opinion to ensure you haven't missed anything in your assessment. If you know exactly what must be done, you will  If you have any inquiries relating to where and ways to utilize diy improvements (homeimprovementdaily.com), you could call us at the web-page. be able to economize. As you begin your home improvement project, take care not to demolish too quickly. Closely examine the area behind cabinet or wall before demolishing it. It can be very expensive to fix any electrical components that are damaged during the making of home improvements.
Place furniture away from your walls to make your rooms appear larger. The room will seem bigger and feel more modern. Almost any building supply you can think would be use in a home improvement project is great fodder for thieves. Always see that all materials are fully secured when nobody will be around to watch them. If the house being worked on is secure you can leave them inside. If your home is not secure enough, consider a storage container or unit that can be locked.
Outdoor space should be utilized when looking to improve your home. Part of your backyard can function as additional living space. It is the perfect area for barbecuing or simply relaxing after a long day at work. Sand wooden objects before staining to make sure the wood is smooth. Follow up by wiping with a damp cloth. Using a fine sandpaper on the surface will smooth it to an even finish. The damp rag removes the dust and will also help create your desired smooth finish.
Do enjoy the outdoors, but hate all those bugs? Try enclosing a portion of your house and installing a screen. It can mean somewhere to relax and read, or for family dining, all free of insects. A ceiling fan will increase your comfort. Mold and rust can turn into a large issue. Particularly in older homes, these can become a common sight that may cause major damage. If you catch them early, they are relatively easy to fix.
