  Mandelbrot Set Encyclopedia Article @ Three-quarters.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The work of Douady and Hubbard coincided with a huge increase in interest in complex dynamics, and the study of the Mandelbrot set has been a centerpiece of this field ever since.
Douady and Hubbard have shown that the Mandelbrot set is connected.
This phenomenon is explained by Douady and Hubbard's theory of renormalization.

 Adrien Douady Biography | World of Mathematics
Adrien Douady is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Paris-Sud Orsay.
Douady is best known for his studies of the Mandelbrot set and its role in the description of dynamics of iterative processes.
Douady's study of simple second-degree polynomials in the complex plain provided new insight into the behavior of more general iterative processes.

Adrien Douady, a French student who obeyed all the rules, was visiting from France.
Douady had a room with a flboard in it, and Barry took me up there and explained to me his great result.
Even Douady broke the unspoken rule that one is supposed to wear clothes under the gown.

Notice that the picture looks (vaguely!) like the tilted head of a fractal rabbit (whatever that is!) that has two main ears of unequal size (and lots of other "ears" all over the place!).
Mandelbrot set M (as is the case with Douady's Rabbit), or a totally disconnected set of "Cantor dust" if c is not in M.
Adrien Douady is one of the chief architects of recent (post-1980) advances in Complex Dynamics; he works at the University of Paris-Sud (Orsay).

 Iterations and the Mandelbrot Set
In a chapter from The Beauty of Fractals, Adrien Douady (who coined the term Mandelbrot set) recollects:
However, Douady and Hubbard made a major contribution to the understanding of the Mandelbrot set and its role in the description of dynamics of iterative processes.
As the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra clearly indicates, the complex plane rather than the real line is the proper place for the study of polynomials.

 Mandelbrot set   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In 1978 Brooks and Matelski made the first computer graphics of the curve.
Adrien Douady and John Hubbard studied the curve, they proved that the set is connected, and named it to Mandelbrot.
In 1994 it was Shishikura who proved the (Hausdorff) dimension of the curve being 2.

 Geometria Fractal
The general definition of the word fractal may thus need further refinement, to indicate more precisely which shapes should be included and which excluded by the term.
The most intriguing of the nonlinear fractals thus far has been the mathematical set named after Mandelbrot by the American mathematicians John Hubbard and Adrien Douady.
The more the set is magnified, the more its unpredictability increases, until unpredictability comes to dominate the bud-like shape that is the set's major element of stability.

 Mandelbrot set
The best known fractal and one of the most complex and beautiful mathematical objects known.
It was discovered by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1980 and named after him by Adrien Douady and J. Hubbard in 1982.
The set is produced by the incredibly simple iteration formula:

Former DDJ editor Randy Sutherland and I joined the put-off when we dealt with Mandelbrot while trying to get permission to reproduce a picture of the Mandelbrot set in DDJ a few years ago.
As Douady said, "He loves to quote himself and he is very reluctant to quote others who aren't dead."
John Horgan, who wrote the Scientific American piece, suggests that the controversy may in part be evidence of paradigm clash.

 The significance of the Mandelbrot set   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This page is an extraction of a small part of Adrien Douady's excellent article Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set in The beauty of fractals: images of complex dynamical systems by H.-O. Peitgen and P. Richter, Springer-Verlag publ., 1986, pp.
The family of functions f(z)=z*z+c as c varies over the complex plane has its dynamic behavior crudely classified by the Mandelbrot set: the function f(z)=z*z+c has a connected Julia set if and only if c is in the Mandelbrot set.
