Boundaries of hyperbolic components for period n of Mandelbrot set are defined by system of equations^[1] :

${\displaystyle {\begin{cases}F(n,z,c)=z\\{\frac {dF(n,z,c)}{dz}}=w\end{cases}}}$

Above system of 2 equations has 3 variables : ${\displaystyle z,c,w\,}$ ( n is constant). One have to remove 1 variable to be able to solve it.

Boundaries are closed curves : cardioids or circles. One can parametrize points of boundaries with angle ${\displaystyle t\,}$ ( here measured in turns from 0 to 1 ).

After evaluation of ${\displaystyle w=l(t)\,}$ one can put it into above system, and get a system of 2 equations with 2 variables ${\displaystyle z,c\,}$.

Now it can be solved

Method of solving system of equation :^[2]

• Newton method for solving system of nonlinear equations in more then one variable (Maxima implementation = function mnewton^[3] )
• centers of hyperbolic component as an initial approximation

Using Newton method is based on Mark McClure archive copy at the Wayback Machine's paper "Bifurcation sets and critical curves"^[4]

Computing centers of hyperbolic components for given period n:

• compute center for given period n ( Maxima function polyroots^[5][6] or allroots ^[7])
• remove centers for dividers of n. It can be done by dividing polynomials ( Robert Munafo method)^[8]

Solving above system gives one point c of each hyperbolic compponent of period n for each angle t ( point w ). Together it gives a list of points

Draw a list of points ( on the sceen or to the file using Maxima draw2d function ^[9])

Set of points looks like curve.
