Fractals Arising From Newton's Method

Abstract

We consider the dynamics as a special class of rational functions that are obtained from Newton's method when applied to a polynomial equation. Finding solutions of these equations leads to some beautiful images in complex functions. These images represent the basins of attraction of roots of complex functions. We seek the answer "What is the dynamics near the chosen parabolic fixed points?". In addition, we will provide a detailed history of Fractal and Dynamical System Theory.
