Visualization of Mandelbrot and Julia Sets of Möbius Transformations.

This work reports on a study of the Mandelbrot set and Julia set for a generalization of the well-explored function h(z) = z2 + l. The generalization consists of composing with a fixed Möbius transformation at each iteration step. In particular, affine and inverse Möbius transformations are explored. This work offers a new way of visualizing the Mandelbrot and filled-in Julia sets. An interesting and unexpected appearance of hyperbolic triangles occurs in the structure of the Mandelbrot sets for the case of inverse Möbius transforms. Several lemmas and theorems associated with these types of fractal sets are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
