On The Dynamics Of Quasi-Self-Matings Of Generalized Starlike Complex Quadratics And The Structure Of The Mated Julia Sets, Ross Flek
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
It has been shown that, in many cases, Julia sets of complex polynomials can be "glued" together to obtain a new Julia set homeomorphic to a Julia set of a rational map; the dynamics of the two polynomials are reflected in the dynamics of the mated rational map. Here, I investigate the Julia sets of self-matings of generalized starlike quadratic polynomials, which enjoy relatively simple combinatorics. The points in the Julia sets of the mated rational maps are completely classified according to their topology. The presence and location of buried points in these Julia sets are addressed. The interconnections between …
