Julia Set Explorer

Render Julia sets for any complex parameter

Test a point z₀ (optional)
f(z) = z² + c | c = -0,8 + 0,156i
Parameter c
-0,8 + 0,156i
|c|
0,8151
Escape radius R
1,532
Connectivity
Connected — a single connected piece

The critical orbit (starting at z₀ = 0) stays bounded, so c lies in the Mandelbrot set and the Julia set is connected.

Escape-time rendering of the Julia set for c = -0,8 + 0,156i. The set is connected. Dark points stay bounded (the filled Julia set); colored points escape, with brighter shades escaping faster.

Über diesen Rechner

The Julia Set Explorer renders the Julia set of f(z) = z² + c for any complex parameter c. It reports whether the set is connected (the Fatou–Julia dichotomy: connected exactly when c is in the Mandelbrot set), finds the two fixed points z = (1 ± √(1 − 4c)) / 2 with their multiplier |λ| = |2z| and stability, computes the escape radius R = (1 + √(1 + 4|c|)) / 2, and tests whether a seed z₀ belongs to the filled Julia set by escape time.

Häufige Beispiele

  • c = 0 → Julia set is the unit circle (connected)
  • c = −1 → the 'basilica' (connected; period-2)
  • c = −0.8 + 0.156i → a connected Julia set
  • c = 0.5 + 0.5i → outside the Mandelbrot set, a disconnected dust
  • c = −0.123 + 0.745i → the Douady rabbit (connected)
