Can the topologist's sine curve be realized as a Julia set?

Does there exist a rational function $f\in\Bbb{C}(z)$ whose Julia set coincides with $$ T:=\left\{\left(x,\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right)\,\Big|\,x\in\left(0,\frac{1}{\pi}\right]\right\}\cup\big(\{...

Convex Julia sets

Consider the classical Julia set $J_f$ associated with $f(z)=z^2+c$. Since $J_c$ is completely invariant, we know that $f^{-1}(J_f) \subseteq J_f$. Now, let $H_f$ be the convex hull of $J_f$. Is it ...

Algorithm for computing external angles for the Mandelbrot set

Let $M$ be the Mandelbrot set: there exists a unique series $$ \psi(z) := z + \sum_{m=0}^{+\infty} b_m z^{-m} = z - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{8} z^{-1} - \frac{1}{4} z^{-2} + \cdots $$ which defines a ...

A point set of power series with coefficients in {-1, 1}. Connected or not?

Let $z$ be a fixed complex number with $|z|<1$ and consider the set $$X_z := \Big\{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{\infty} a_i z^i \ \Big|\ a_i\in \{-1,1\} \forall i\Big\}.$$ What can be said about the set $M$ ...
