Fractals/Iterations in the complex plane/av velocity

Average velocity by Chris King

"Discrete Velocity of non-attracting Basins and Petals: Compute, for the points that don't escape, the average discrete velocity on the orbit:"

$\left\vert z_{n+1}-z_{n}\right\vert$

Algorithm

distance between points

On dynamical plane one can see :

• Exterior of filled Julia set (blue) colored by level set method,
• Interior of Julia set showing irrational flow (green) coloured by the sine of the velocity

For the points that don’t escape compute the average discrete velocity of orbit  :

$\upsilon ={\frac {S_{n}}{n}}$

where :

$S_{n}=\sum _{n=1}^{n_{max}}d_{n}=\sum _{n=1}^{n_{max}}|Z_{n+1}-Z_{n}|$

In Octave it looks :

# octave code
 d=0;
 iter = 0;

 while (iter < maxiter) && (abs(z)<ER)
   h=z; # previous point = z_(n)
   z=z*z+c; # next point = z_(n+1)
   iter = iter+1;
   d=d+abs(z-h); # sum of distances along orbit
 end

 if iter < maxiter  # exterior 
    measure = iter;
    myflag=3; # escaping to infinity 
             
    else # iter==maxiter ( inside filled julia set )
      measure=20*d/iter; # average distance (d/iter) = 0.5

In Chris King Maple code this discrete velocity is measured only by sum of distances between points

$S_{n}=\sum _{n=1}^{n_{max}}d_{n}=\sum _{n=1}^{n_{max}}|Z_{n+1}-Z_{n}|$

Because :

• all forward orbit from interior of Julia set fall into SIegel disc
• inside Siegel disc points turn around its center ( indifferent periodic point )

so distance is a good measure into which Siegel orbit point fall

Using periodic function ( sin, cos) creates bands showing dynamics inside Julia set ( siegel disc and its preimages ).
