Dendrite (mathematics)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In mathematics, a dendrite is a certain type of topological space that may be characterized either as a locally connected dendroid or equivalently as a locally connected continuum that contains no simple closed curves.[1]
Dendrites may be used to model certain types of Julia set.[2] For example, if 0 is pre-periodic, but not periodic, under the function , then the Julia set of is a dendrite.[3]
