  1. Fractals from Root-Solving Methods Daniel Dreibelbis University of North Florida

  2. Outline • Define the problem • Explore Newton’s Method, leading up to Newton’s Fractals • Mess with Newton’s Method • Try this with other root-solving methods

  3. Root Solving

  4. Newton’s Method

  5. Newton’s Method

  6. Visualizing Newton’s Method

  7. Quadratic: Lame z2 – 1 = 0

  8. Quadratic – Less Lame z2 – 1 = 0

  9. Cubic – Not Lame z3– 1 = 0

  10. Cubic – Still not Lame

  16. Why the fractal? • Near a critical point, the tangent lines hit most of the x-axis. Thus most of the domain is mirrored near the critical point. • With two or more critical points, each critical point mirrors all of the other critical points.

  17. Why the fractal?

  18. Why Newton’s Method?

  19. Changing Newton’s Method

  20. Changing Newton’s Method

  21. Other Methods - Bisection

  22. Bisection on x3 – x = 0

  23. Other Methods - Secant

  24. Secant – Real Case

  25. Secant – Complex Case

  26. Other Methods – Steepest Descent f(x, y)=0 and g(x, y)=0 f(x, y)2 + g(x, y)2

  27. Other Methods – Steepest Descent Re(z)=0 and Im(z)=0 Re(z)2 + Im(z)2

  28. Steepest Descent
