Objects of non-integral dimension and other chaos

Elementary explanation

  Can anyone out there thoroughly explain fractals and the math involved
so that
an entry level calculus student can understand it.  And possibly lead me
to some
sites where i can find massive amounts of fractal related material.

                                                Thanx,
                                                     Phantom

Fractal Plotter For Calc??

Hey,
I need a mandel or a julia fractal plotter for my ti-85 calculator, if
anyone has source that would rule, i guess i might write one if i have
to

Need code for estimating Fractal Dimension in images …

We are doing a project for our masters thesis in which we need some
code for estimation the fractal dimension of parts of images. Can
anyone supply us with (or give us any pointers to) code which can do
this? We are especially interested in code based on Fractional
Brownian Motion, but anything that WORKS will be appreciated. Also any
code for estimation the lacunarity is of interest!

Thanks in advance

Julia test – Fatou dust

I just wrote my final exam for a ‘fractals’ course at UofT. We never once
used a computer. Anyway, there is a class of Julia sets, called Fatou
dusts, which occur for |c| > 2 (i belive). These are totally disconnected
sets of repelling periodic points. From what i can gather, Fractint can’t
draw these (not with the default settings, anyway). Can someone provide
pointers on producing images of these sets? Thanks, Omer

help needed on hardware for fractals

Hi. I’m doing a project on Fractals, and any information on Hardware
relating to the production of Fractals would be greatfully appreciated!

Thanks,

How to implement early breakout in mandel-calc

I’ve been working on a mandelbrot generator in ASM, and I got it all working
now, but since I stll dont have any optimizations it’s somewhat slow in
areas which reach maxiter (which is logical). Now I was wondering HOW I
could optimize this part: I’ve had a few ideas but they didn’t work out :(
Could anyone please point me to some ideas/code/papers which would help me?
I’ve checked out the Fractint source but I don’t quite get it.

INFO ABOUT FRACTALS IN FINANCIAL MARKETS

E
Distribution: w
Organization: City College Of New York – Science Division

I am interested to locate bibliography and related articles
[general, introductory & advanced] for the use of fractals
and chaos theory in financial markets…
I am aware of Edgar Peter’s two books on the subject, and
I would like to receive some additional info…

On Monday’s edition of the Financial Times of London, there
was an article [Scientific look at foreign exchanges] where
it describes the HARCH model and talks about a seminar in
Switzerland at Zollikon organized by R. Olsen of Olsen &
Associates.
Any additional info… about this seminar and the content
of the talks???

Who posted DeepZoom-1 PAR?

Who posted this PAR?  I forgot to record it in the comment
section of the PAR file I’ve put it in.  I kept their comments,
but want to give them credit in the comments too.  This one took
26 hours on my Pentium 66 MHz machine!  It’s a lovely pic.

DeepZoom-1 { ; This one will take a prohibitive amount of time on
            ; your ‘puter, but trust me it’s well worth it.  It’s
          ; a good idea to let this one run overnight if you want
          ; to have a glimpse of it.  :)

Fractal CD

I came across an announcement for a new CD called FracShow which
displays fractal images for Windows and DOS.  Both versions of the
FracShow software provide twelve different slide shows that incorporate
over fifteen different image loading effects, with six palette effects.
Some of the shows are simple and sequential, while others have been
designed for maximum diversity and randomness.  Turn on the Kaleidoscope
filter for the ultimate in symmetry.  Grab the current image as Windows
wallpaper anytime.

Beyond personal enjoyment and immersion, on a more serious note, a
number of psychologists viewing fractal slide shows in different
settings on different occasions have said, "This would be great in
doctors’ and dentists’ offices, or delivered to patients via closed
circuit TV systems in hospitals, to reduce anxiety."  It also makes a
great electronic babysitter for kids of all ages.

The FracShow CD also includes a directory \JSGROVE – of sample files to
use with AutoShow.  They are 640×480 – 256 color renderings of pictures
taken by world class photographer, marine biologist and naturalist, Jack
S. Grove.  Jack spends most of his life lecturing and traveling to all
of the tropical island paradises around the globe.
