Mandelbrot set
  هنگرد ِ ماندلبروت  
hangard-e Mandelbrot
Fr.: ensemble de Mandelbrot  

A set of points in the complex plane, the boundary of which forms a fractal with varying shapes at different magnifications. Mathematically, it is the set of all C values for which the iteration zn+1 = zn2 + C, starting from z0 = 0, does not diverge to infinity.
