Julia set (in white) for the rational function associated to Newton's method for f : z → z 3 −1. Coloring of Fatou set in red, green and blue tones according to the three attractors (the three roots of f). For some functions f(z) we can say beforehand that the Julia set is a fractal and not a simple curve. This is because of the following ...
The complementary set to the union of all these, is the Julia set. The Fatou sets have common boundary, namely the Julia set. Therefore, each point of the Julia set is a point of accumulation for each of the Fatou sets. It is this property that causes the fractal structure of the Julia set (when the degree of the polynomial is larger than 2).

The Beauty of Fractals is a 1986 book by Heinz-Otto Peitgen and Peter Richter which publicises the fields of complex dynamics, chaos theory and the concept of fractals. It is lavishly illustrated and as a mathematics book became an unusual success. The book includes a total of 184 illustrations, including 88 full-colour pictures of Julia sets.
The filled-in Julia set of a polynomial is defined as the set of all points of the dynamical plane that have bounded orbit with respect to () = {: () } where: C {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} } is the set of complex numbers
The Mandelbrot set is widely considered the most popular fractal, [45] [46] and has been referenced several times in popular culture. The Jonathan Coulton song "Mandelbrot Set" is a tribute to both the fractal itself and to the man it is named after, Benoit Mandelbrot. [47]
According to Benoit Mandelbrot, "A fractal is by definition a set for which the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension strictly exceeds the topological dimension." [1] Presented here is a list of fractals, ordered by increasing Hausdorff dimension, to illustrate what it means for a fractal to have a low or a high dimension.
