Talk:Burning Ship fractal

Formula

$z_{n+1} = (|\operatorname{Re} \left(z_n\right)|+i|\operatorname{Im} \left(z_n\right)|)^2 + c, \quad z_0=0$

It doesn't describe the functions 'Re' and 'Im', which should either have a link to its page, or a explanation on this page. -- Actually, now I see the point:

The absolute value of $z_{n}$.

Michelitsch Fractals

Why is this page linked? Only one of the pictures on that site seems to be a Burning Ship, and there is no relevant commentary or even descriptions of any of the pictures. - Rainwarrior 12:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Ahh, I found the link to his papers on the Burning Ship buried at the bottom of the page. Is there a way we can make this link more obvious? - Rainwarrior 16:30, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Since geocities is about to close I migrated the website to http://michelitsch-fractals.webs.com/Michelitsch_Fractals.htm which is indentical to the previous one http://www.geocities.com/tmichelitsch/Michelitsch_Fractals.html containing the first representations and the original paper cited above on the Burning Ship fractal.

Trojan

The External link: Burning Ship fractal zoomer by Jetro Lauha may have a virus. I am running AVG which says so. Can anyone confirm this? --Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:34, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I can't confirm this but it seems like this page doesn't mention fractals at all. So I delete the link. bungalo (talk) 08:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Imaginary Axis

Is the imaginary axis traditionally displayed inverted, with -i at the top and +i at the bottom? I believe all of the pictures are displayed in this way, as it lends to the idea of a burning ship, but the page fails to note this. Feneer (talk) 13:16, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Not exactly. The description pages of all these images have that formula with the sign inverted (minus instead of plus). bungalo (talk) 08:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
