An external ray is a curve that runs from infinity toward a Julia or Mandelbrot set.
Although this curve is only rarely a half-line (ray) it is called a ray because it is an image of a ray.
External rays are used in complex analysis, particularly in complex dynamics and geometric function theory.
External rays were introduced in Douady and Hubbard's study of the Mandelbrot set
Criteria for classification :
plane : parameter or dynamic
map
bifurcation of dynamic rays
Stretching
landing
External rays of (connected) Julia sets on dynamical plane are often called dynamic rays.
External rays of the Mandelbrot set (and similar one-dimensional connectedness loci) on parameter plane are called parameter rays.
Dynamic ray can be:
bifurcated = branched = broken
smooth = unbranched = unbroken
When the filled Julia set is connected, there are no branching external rays. When the Julia set is not connected then some external rays branch.
Stretching rays were introduced by Branner and Hubbard:
"The notion of stretching rays is a generalization of that of external rays for the Mandelbrot set to higher degree polynomials."
Every rational parameter ray of the Mandelbrot set lands at a single parameter.
External rays are associated to a compact, full, connected subset of the complex plane as :
the images of radial rays under the Riemann map of the complement of
the gradient lines of the Green's function of
field lines of Douady-Hubbard potential
an integral curve of the gradient vector field of the Green's function on neighborhood of infinity
External rays together with equipotential lines of Douady-Hubbard potential ( level sets) form a new polar coordinate system for exterior ( complement ) of .
In other words the external rays define vertical foliation which is orthogonal to horizontal foliation defined by the level sets of potential.
Let be the conformal isomorphism from the complement (exterior) of the closed unit disk to the complement of the filled Julia set .

Complex dynamics, or holomorphic dynamics, is the study of dynamical systems obtained by iterating a complex analytic mapping. This article focuses on the case of algebraic dynamics, where a polynomial or rational function is iterated. In geometric terms, that amounts to iterating a mapping from some algebraic variety to itself. The related theory of arithmetic dynamics studies iteration over the rational numbers or the p-adic numbers instead of the complex numbers.
The Mandelbrot set (ˈmændəlbroʊt,_-brɒt) is a two dimensional set with a relatively simple definition that exhibits great complexity, especially as it is magnified. It is popular for its aesthetic appeal and fractal structures. The set is defined in the complex plane as the complex numbers for which the function does not diverge to infinity when iterated starting at , i.e., for which the sequence , , etc., remains bounded in absolute value. This set was first defined and drawn by Robert W.
The diffusion strategy for distributed learning from streaming data employs local stochastic gradient updates along with exchange of iterates over neighborhoods. In Part I [3] of this work we established that agents cluster around a network centroid and pr ...
We introduce HP, an implementation of density-functional perturbation theory, designed to compute Hubbard parameters (on-site U and inter-site V ) in the framework of DFT+U and DFT+U+V. The code does not require the use of computationally expensive superce ...
We present an orbital-resolved extension of the Hubbard U correction to density-functional theory (DFT). Compared to the conventional shell-averaged approach, the prediction of energetic, electronic and structural properties is strongly improved, particula ...
