Nova fractal is a family of fractals related to the Newton fractal. Nova is a formula that is implemented in most fractal art

Fractal art

Fractal art is a form of algorithmic art created by calculating fractal objects and representing the calculation results as still images, animations, and media. Fractal art developed from the mid 1980s onwards. It is a genre of computer art and digital art which are part of new media art...

software.

Formula

The formula for novaMandelbrot is a special case of the generalized Newton fractal:


where is said to be a relaxation constant and . Note that this expression is equivalent to


for , which is exactly the formula describing Newton fractals for a specific .
