Algorithm for computing images of polynomial Julia sets with mathemathical guarantees against sampling artifacts and rounding errors in floating points arithmethic.
name
True Shape Algorithm ( TSA)
theory
algorithm computes a decomposition of the complex plane into three regions:
a white region, which is contained in exterior of Julia set
a black region, which is contained in the interior of Julia set
a gray region, which cannot be classified as white or gray. It is a region which contains julia set J
It gives adaptive approximation of the Julia set. Spatial resolution limited by available memory.
K is contained in the escape circle of radius R = max(|c|, 2) centered at the origin,
Image that is 100% guaranteed correct:fractalforums.org : determining-optimal-iterations-to-skip-with-series-approximation
white pixels are guaranteed to contain no interior or boundary points
black pixels are guaranteed to contain only interior points
red pixels have not been able to be decided at the current resolution (they might contain both interior or boindary and exterior points).
Unfortunately in practice the images have a lot of red pixels. It means that this algorithm is for proving that images are mathemathically correct. Point-sampling method is for creating images. If one sees that image is not smooth ( boundaries of components are smooth curves) then takes a bigger resolution ( subpixel accuracy) to get proper = smooth image. If one take good point sampled image, then TSA algorithm will not find a wrong pixel in it.
key words
complex plane
region = union of the cell with the same label
cell = rectangle in the complex plane
tree
quadtree
graph
directed graph
cell graph that represents the cell mapping
IA = Interval ArithmeticInterval arithmetic in wikipedia
dyadic fraction : working with exactly double-representable numbers by using a near dyadic fraction
algorithms
goal of the algorithm is mathematical correctness of the image
the price is slow and not beatiful images. TSA is very slow and not suitable for creating images with aesthetic appearance.
algorithm is designed for for Julia sets
algorithm avoids :
point sampling ( 1-pixel aproximation): what happens between samples ?
function iteration in the escape-time algorithm ( do not use it)
Floating-point rounding errors ( squaring needs double digits )Images of Julia sets that you can trust from Palis-Balzan Int Symposium
partial orbits ( program cannot run forever)
Main features of the algorithm:
"cell mapping to reliably classify entire rectangles " in the complex plane, not just a finite sample of points
"it handles orbits by using color propagation in graphs induced by cell mapping" = "tracks the fate of complex orbit by inspecting the directed graph induced by cell mapping"
"The numbers processed by the algorithm are dyadic fractions that are restricted in range and precision and the algorithm uses error-free fixed-point arithmetic whose precision depends only on the spatial resolution of the image. "
