Mandelbrot Inner Estimation

Mandelbrot Images generated with “optimized_Fractal_inner_estimate.py”r(N)r(N) calculated with “rN_List.py” Introduction The Mandelbrot set M0M_0 is the set of complex numbers such that for f(z,c)=z2+cf(z,c)=z^2+c the sequence z0(c)=f(0,c),z1(c)=f(f(0,c),c),…,zk(c)=f(zk−1,c),…z_0(c)=f(0,c),z_1(c)=f(f(0,c),c),\dots,z_k(c)=f(z_{k-1},c),\dots doesn’t diverge to infinity.A starting value cc is not in M0M_0 if |zk(c)|>2|z_k(c)|>2 for…

Braess’s Paradox as a Routing Problem

Written by Luca M. Tittel Motivation Braess’s Paradox is a phenomenon rarely witnessed in street-networks or even similar networks like power-networks or some mechanical Systems. It describes the occurrence of the overall flow of a network increasing while the ”capacity”…

Rolling Knots

Written by Leon-Josip Dzojic, Matilde Sciortino, and Pirmin Kupffer In the year 1980 M. H. Freedman conjectured that every generic smooth knot in three dimensional Euclidean space has a tritangent plane, i.e., a plane tangent to three distinct points. However,…
