A point in parameter space where such an event occurs is a bifurcation point. From a bifurcation point emerge two or more solution branches, either stable or unstable. The representation of any characteristic property of the solution as a function of the bifurcation parameter constitutes a bifurcation diagram (tree). 4, record 1, English, - bifurcation

Mandelbrot, créateur du terme en 1975, le concept n'a pas encore de définition mathématique généralement acceptée. Le terme est dérivé du latin «fractus» qui signifie «fragmenté», «irrégulier».

The technique of virtual memory is exploited to handle the extremely large numbers of iterates needed for the convergence of the algorithms. They study quantitatively the oscillations which appear in the usual linear regressions of the log-log plot and which are inherent in lacunar fractal sets. These oscillations are the cause of previous underestimates of the Renyi dimensions and in fact make accurate dimension estimates an elusive goal. 1, record 3, English, - lacunar%20fractal%20set

Predictable, or tame, attractors correspond to the behavior to which a system settles down or is "attracted". A strange attractor is represented by an unpredictable trajectory where a minute difference in starting positions of two initially adjacent points leads to totally uncorrelated positions later in time or in the mathematical iteration. 3, record 5, English, - attractor

Recursion relations are also used to construct fractal attractors characteristic of chaotic motion. As a simple example we briefly mention dynamic systems that period double on their way to chaos... However the set invariant with regard to(2. 19) is a repeller(not an attractor). It can be shown that the attractor forms approximately a non-uniform Cantor set. 4, record 5, English, - attractor

Fatou had shown in 1906 that for certain c's the point at infinity attracts all the complex plane, except for a Julia set that is very "thin" and forms what is now called a "fractal dust". A dust bounds no domain of any sort, hence cannot bound a domain of attraction. Therefore, the set I was seeking had to be a subset of the set of c's for which the Julia set is not a dust, hence is connected. 1, record 9, English, - fractal%20dust

Définition proposée en 1977 par B. Mandelbrot, qu'il a abandonnée depuis. Comme le concept de chaos, le concept d'ensemble fractal ne possède pas encore de définition généralement admise. Les progrès de la géométrie fractale ne cessent d'offrir de nouvelles fractales qui échappent aux définitions existantes. Les fractalistes considèrent que la question de définition ne devra se poser que lorsque la théorie sera stabilisée. 2, record 11, French, - ensemble%20fractal

Mandelbrot 1965c suggested an alternative that has proved to be better in every way : the Lévy set. Once the dimension is prescribed, the Lévy set is the uniquely determined combination of two desirable properties. Like the randomized truncated Cantor set, it is a recurrent(renewal) random process. Like the Cantor set, it is a self similar fractal. Better than the Cantor set, this Lévy set is statistically identical to itself reduced in an arbitrary ratio r between O and 1. 1, record 13, English, - L%C3%A9vy%20set

Given a set S, the indicator function J(x) is classically defined as being such that J(x)=1 when x S, and J(x)=0 when X S. When S is a Cantor set, a Sierpinski lattice(gasket or carpet), a fractal net, or any one of several other classes of fractals, J(x) is inconvenient. I often find it more convenient to replace J(x) by a different function C(x), which I introduced and now propose to call coindicator. 1, record 14, English, - coindicator%20function
