Resumen

MALISCHEWSKY, Peter G.. A very special Fractal: Gingko of Jena. Geofís. Intl [online]. 2014, vol.53, n.1, pp.95-100. ISSN 2954-436X.

After shortly explaining the significance of fractals in the geosciences I present a modification of the famous Mandelbrot iteration. The result bears a certain resemblance to a gingko leaf. The gingko tree is special in botany, in cultural history and in philosophy. Some unusual features of the new gingko-leaf fractal are presented.

Palabras llave : fractals in geophysics; Mandelbrot set; gingko biloba; gingko leaf iteration.
