What are some examples of complex polynomials whose Julia sets are connected, but not locally? In the book Complex Dynamics by Carleson and Gamelin, I found: They seem to reference: But what is a ...

Given a complex rational function $f$ and $z\in \mathbb C$, let $O^+(z)=\{f^n(z):n\geq 1\}$. Let $$D(f)=\big\{z\in \mathbb C:\overline{O^+(z)}=J(f)\big\}.$$ So $D(f)$ is the set of points whose (...

Let $f:\mathbb C\to \mathbb C$ be a rational map and let $J(f)$ and $F(f)$ denote the Julia and Fatou sets of $f$, respectively. Let $\mathcal S$ be the set of all boundaries of Fatou components. ...

I've been tinkering with Newton's method applied to polynomials. E.g., Newton's method for $z^5 - 1 = 0$ gives: There aren't a lot of symmetric patterns of finite sets of points in the plane, so I ...

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 ...
