Abstract

Checking the similarity of some Julia sets and Mandelbrot sub areas in Misiurewicz points by calculating their fractal dimension is the main purpose of this paper. MATLAB programs are used to generate the Julia sets images that match the Misiurewicz points; these images are the entry to the FracLac software. Using this software we were able to find different measurements that characterize those fractals in textures and other features. We are actually focusing on fractal dimension and the error calculated by the software. When performing the given equation of regression or the logarithmic slope of an image, a Box Counting method is applied to the entire image, and the chosen features (grid design, scaling method, number of grid positions…) are available in a FracLac Program, then we attempt to prepare the appropriate settings to get the best performance of the software. Finally, a comparison is done for each image corresponding to the area (boundary) where the Misiurewicz point is located.
