Sequence Fractals Introduction #17
Function sequence $ f_i(z)+c$, with ten cycle sequence
Now we have a sequence of functions rather than a sequence of numbers. This is an easy generalization. Many of the previous post could have been described as a function sequence with $ f_i(z) = z^2 + s_i$
In this case the sequence is a repeating ten-cycle of affine transformations ($ z \leftarrow a * z + b$). The ten functions are pulled randomly, with replacement, from a set of three.
Since everything is linear here, no squares, no trig functions, the straight lines are expected.
Sequence Fractals Introduction #19
Function sequence $ f_i(z)$ (without +c)
Six cycle of functions chosen at random from four different functions. Two affine transformations, z = z2, and z = z + c.
I think there may be a lot of potential with this scheme. However in a very quick investigation, I found that infinite random sequence and long (10 or more) cycles do not produce good results. Everything escapes quickly. Also different random seeds produce very different results. I need to investigate this with deterministic, or at least less-random, function selection.
I should point out that this is not entirely new territory. With a different coloring scheme, and without the "+c", this starts to look like IFS and Flame fractals.
