摘要

In this paper, general Mandelbrot and Julia sets of one-parameter rational function families associated with Newton's method were discussed. The bounds of these general Mandelbrot sets and two formulas for calculating the number of different periods periodic points of these rational functions were given. The relations between general Mandelbrot sets and common Mandelbrot sets of z(n) + c (n is an element of Z, n >= 2), along with the relations between general Mandelbrot sets and their corresponding Julia sets were investigated. Consequently, the results were found in the study: there are similarities between the Mandelbrot and Julia sets of one-parameter rational function families associated with Newton's method and the Mandelbrot and Julia sets of z(n) + c (n is an element of Z, n >= 2).
