Description

Iteration of quadratic polynomials in complex dynamics leads to the Mandelbrot set, one of the most beautiful and famous images in modern mathematics. There is a generalization of this object to higher degree polynomials. In particular, the connected locus for cubic iteration is a four dimensional set analogous to the Mandelbrot set for quadratic iteration.
