A 129804.49 times magnification at the point (-0.43608549343268, -0.102470623996602) on the novaMandelbrot fractal with start value z₀ = (9.0,0.0), exponent p = (3.0,0.0) and relaxation R = (2.9,0.0).

Nova fractal is a family of fractals related to the Newton fractal. Nova is a formula that is implemented in most^{[citation needed]} fractal art software.

Formula

The formula for novaMandelbrot^{[citation needed]} is a special case of the generalized Newton fractal:

where R is said to be a relaxation constant and . Note that this expression is equivalent to

for f = z^p − 1, which is exactly the formula describing Newton fractals for a specific f.
