The algorithm is applied to Schottky groups, quadratic polynomials and Blaschke products, yielding both numerical and theoretical results. Dimension graphs are presented for (a) the family of Fuchsian groups generated by reﬂections in 3 symmetric geodesics; (b) the family of polynomials $$f_c(z) = z^2 +c, c \in [-1, \frac{1}{2}]$$; and (c) the family of rational maps $$ft(z) = \frac{z}{t} + \frac{1}{z}, t \in (0, 1]$$. We also calculate $$H. dim (\wedge) \approx 1.305688$$ for the Apollonian gasket, and $$H. dim (J( f)) \approx 1.3934$$ for Douady’s rabbit, where $$f(z) = z^2 + c$$ satisﬁes $$f^3(0) = 0$$. en_US dc.description.sponsorship Mathematics en_US dc.language.iso en_US en_US dc.publisher Johns Hopkins University Press en_US dc.relation.isversionof doi:10.1353/ajm.1998.0031 en_US dc.relation.hasversion http://www.math.harvard.edu/~ctm/papers/index.html en_US dash.license LAA dc.title Hausdorff Dimension and Conformal Dynamics III: Computation of Dimension en_US dc.type Journal Article en_US dc.description.version Author's Original en_US dc.relation.journal American Journal of Mathematics en_US dash.depositing.author McMullen, Curtis T. dc.date.available 2009-12-18T20:55:20Z
