- You heard right. A preprint of Shishikura's paper can be obtained
- by anonymous ftp from math.sunysb.edu in the directory preprints.
- The particular one that you're looking for is
-
- ims91-7
- Author: M. Shishikura
- Title: The Hausdorff Dimension of the Boundary of the Mandelbrot Set
- and Julia Sets.
- Abstract: It is shown that the boundary of the Mandelbrot set $M$ has
- Hausdorff dimension two and that for a generic $c \in \bM$, the
- Julia set of $z \mapsto z^2+c$ also has Hausdorff dimension
- two. The proof is based on the study of the bifurcation of
- parabolic periodic points.
- Format: AmSTeX, with both PostScript figures and Sun Rasterfile
- pictures. Requires psfig for figures.
-
- The archive at Stony Brook can also be accessed by e-mail:
-
- send the message
- send ims91-7 from preprints
- to preprints@math.sunysb.edu to retrieve the file
-
- There's a ton of good stuff to be found here, but some familiarity
- with TeX and PostScript will be necessary to process the files.
