Description

Nonlinear mappings of the complex plane that possess dihedral or cyclical symmetry are a natural symmetrical generalization of the logistic map. We explore the properties of such mappings and visualize the resulting symmetric attractors. Our Mathematica algorithms are a useful prototype for C code that can be added in with MathLink.
