Title: "Popular Brot" of a Buddhabrot Post by: tit_toinou on December 11, 2012, 07:56:16 PM Hi there!
If you compute first a Buddhabrot (+1 in every slots of the matrix (the discretization of the complex plane) of the orbit of a point that do not belong to the Mandelbrot Set), and then compute a Mandelbrot where you have a variable = 0 at the beginning, and you add to it the value of the Buddhabrot matrix slot for every point in the orbit of an escaping point (and at the end dividing the variable by the number of iterations so that you compute an arithmetic mean)... You have the Popular Brot! The point is that computing a Buddhabrot is expensive and it is difficult to zoom into in. But once a Buddhabrot is computed, the Popular Brot is as fast as the Classic Mandelbrot Set and so it is easy to zoom in ! And it apparently features "Buddha" like in the original Buddhabrot !

If you do the same thing with the anti-buddhabrot, you'll essentially get an efficient map of interesting points to plot. All that's black in the anti-buddhabrot will escape anyway, so no need to plot those regions. It's a good upper bound. Much better than the typical circle of radius 2. However, doing this with the normal buddha-brot might lead to a different interesting picture? How do zoomed-in regions look like? Just like those you'd expect from the MSet, or do omitted sections change the outcome in an interesting manner?

And scaling is somewhat faster than zooming in. Actualy I copy pasted some code. Maybe with little bitt of experimenting someone can find best way for this.

Mmmh... No (or I don't understand what you mean).Here is the algorithm for one value of c : Code: c is given I hope I made myself clear :) .

We can cleary see cloudy features of buddhabrot and of course discontinuities. Finding a way to remove them would be cool. And I don't know how to color the interior of the mandelbrot set since their colors would depend on the iterationMax value with this algorithm. And the Popular Brot image gets better with a fully cooked buddhabrot. How to interpret the Popular Brot image : the more black is a point, the more its orbits went through "popular" points i.e. frequently visited areas of the orbits of escaping points.

No, the same image resolution, but a bigger fractal;) Result is like zooming in.It looks too jagged. Maybe try smoothed iterations (some log formula) or some smooth formula, who works in insides and outsides such as exponent smoothing and larger bailout. |
