It really depends on the fractal, and there are many possible ways to define them. As an example, for the Mandelbrot set, a number of calculations involving complex numbers are done for each point in the complex plane, to determine whether a point is part of the set or not. However, other definitions are possible as well.
Pi is a number. There are no fractals of pi.
No. Fractals are geometric shapes which include high calculations. I'm not even able to do the first part of it.
If you look closely and carefully enough, nature is ALL fractals; snowflakes, leaves, tree branches, coastlines, everywhere.
Benoit Mandelbrot
Fractals are commonly used for digitally modeling irregular patterns and structures in nature. They are also very useful for image compression, producing an enlarged picture with no pixilation.
The Beauty of Fractals was created in 1986.
Fractals.
Fractals can be categorized into several types, including self-similar fractals, which exhibit the same pattern at different scales, and space-filling fractals, which cover a space completely. Other types include deterministic fractals, generated by a specific mathematical formula, and random fractals, which are created through stochastic processes. Notable examples include the Mandelbrot set and the Sierpiński triangle. Each type showcases unique properties and applications in mathematics, nature, and art.
Crystals are usually not fractals.
Pi is a number. There are no fractals of pi.
Nobody. Fractals are not owned by anyone!
Some common techniques for generating fractals would be to use iterated function systems, strange attractors, escape-time fractals, and random fractals.
There are infinitely many fractals so no list can exist.
There are several types of fractals, but they can generally be categorized into three main types: geometric fractals, which are created through simple geometric shapes and repeated transformations; natural fractals, which occur in nature and exhibit self-similarity, such as snowflakes and coastlines; and algorithmic fractals, which are generated by mathematical equations and computer algorithms, like the Mandelbrot set. Each type showcases unique properties and applications across various fields, including mathematics, art, and computer graphics.
Fractals were discovered in 1975 by a scientist names Benoit Mandelbrot.
Fractals are used for computer generated terrains.
By their very nature fractals are infinite in extent.
