DescriptionCritical orbit 3d.png	English: 3D view of critical orbit of c = i*0.21687214+0.37496784 for complex quadratic polynomial. It tends to weakly attracting fixed point zf with abs(multiplier(zf)=0.99993612384259 . Point c is near root of period 6 component of Mandelbrot set. Polski: Trójwymiarowy widok orbity punktu krytycznego dla fc(z)=z*z+c. Punkt c jest położonego tuż przy granicy zbioru Mandelbrota. Orbita punktu krytycznego dąży do słabo przyciągającego punktu stałego.

Long description

This image shows how changes orbit of critical point

${\displaystyle z_{cr}=0\,}$

for complex quadratic polynomial

${\displaystyle f_{c}(z)=z*z+c\,}$

Here parameter ${\displaystyle c\,}$ is constant :

${\displaystyle c=0.37496784+i*0.21687214\,}$

It is in period 1 component, near root of period 6 component of Mandelbrot set.

Axes of three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system :

• axis x is real part of complex variable ${\displaystyle z\,}$
• axis y is imaginary part of complex variable ${\displaystyle z\,}$
• axis z is number of iteration ( integer number )

Note that axis z is different thing that complex variable ${\displaystyle z\,}$

XY complex plane is dynamical plane of complex quadratic polynomial.

Iterations :

• ${\displaystyle z_{0}=z_{cr}=0\,}$ ( blue point )
• ${\displaystyle z_{1}=f_{c}(z_{0})=c\,}$ ( red point)
• ${\displaystyle z_{2}=f_{c}(z_{1})=c^{2}+c\,}$ ( red point)
• ...
• ${\displaystyle z_{n+1}=f_{c}(z_{n})\,}$ ( red point)

This image showes that orbit of critical point tends to weakly attracting fixed point.
