Is the area of the Mandelbrot provably computable?

Recall the Mandelbrot set $M$ is the set of points $c$ in the complex plane such that the sequence $z_0 = 0, z_{n+1} = z_n^2 + c$ is bounded. It is well-known that $M$ is a compact set of positive ...

Is there some known way to create the Mandelbrot set (the boundary), with an iterated function system?

Is there some known way to create the Mandelbrot set (the boundary), with an iterated function system (IFS)? Julia sets can be formed by iterating the two functions $z \mapsto \pm \sqrt{z-c},$ and ...
