Abstract

Newton’s method is a well-known method for finding solutions to nonlinear equations. Beyond its root-finding capabilities, the chaotic nature of Newton’s method has been widely explored in creating fractal images. This work presents extensions to, and variations from, the standard method, not for advancing the mathematics behind it, but for expanding its use in creating fractal art. Several examples of art using these methods are presented.
