Sure. Here is one way to do it (Mario can show you another way of doing
it!).
(%i2) load(implicit_plot)$
(%i3) z: x+%i*y$
(%i4) f[n](z) := if n=0 then z else (f[n-1](z)^2 + c)$
(%i5) implicit_plot(makelist(abs(ev(f[n](z),c=1))=2,n,0,2), [x,-3,3],
[y,-3,3])$
I'm very interested in the work you are doing with chaos and fractals.
I've been extremely busy and I have not taught my course on dynamical
systems for more than a year, so my dynamical systems package was
abandoned for over a year.
This semester I'm teaching dynamics again; I started with a physics
introduction and next week I will start lecturing on dynamical systems
and I will have to retake the work with that package.
Please send me any comments or ideas for improvements and I will try to
do something before the new version of Maxima is released.
Best regards,
