Lyapunov fractal[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 25 Jan 2011 at 05:22:32 (UTC)

**Original** - Generalized Lyapunov fractal for the sequence BBBBBBAAAAAA, with growth parameter range (a,b) in [3.4, 4] x [2.5, 3.4], generated with Mathematica 5.

Reason: Excellent and encyclopedic image showing a Lyapunov fractal. The picture is of extremely high resolution and also has strong artistic merits. There is no good reason why the Mandelbrot set should have a ton of FPs and not the Lyapunov fractal. Also, I'm not sure why it wasn't promoted the last time it was nominated here because it seems to me there were 10 supports and 5 opposes.

Support Very pretty. Again, it'd be nice to have the source, but the Author has not been around since 2007 or so it seems. It'd be nice if there was some sort of key between the colour and the value of $\lambda$ too. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Both interesting and beautiful. I have seen lots of Mandelbrot fractals and not nearly enough examples of other fractal sets including the Lyapunov set. Nicely rendered as well. I agree with JJ Harrison, it would be nice if there was a colour key of some sorts. --Discott (talk) 12:06, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support I disagree with the reason given in the nomination since the Mandlebrot set is a much more widely studied object, but this image certainly meets FP criteria.--RDBury (talk) 15:38, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support - woooooow. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:56, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional Support. I support the concept, but is there a more "iconic" image of the Lyapunov? I don't know enough about that fractal to know if there are any more "representative" images. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 02:28, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Since the Lyapunov Fractal can be generated for any arbitrary starting sequence and growth parameters, I don't think there is a general and iconic image that represents all Lyapunov fractals. Purpy Pupple (talk) 05:26, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
