I have a problem. I tried using perturbation theory for the Magnet Mandelbrot type I fractal, but after going a quadrillion zooms, the image becomes... well, you know what happens.

How did you end up with the perturbation equations? When finishing UF6, I looked at all the formulas in the Standard.ufm file to see if I could (somewhat easily) add perturbation support, but the Magnet formulas were not one of these.

There is a perturbation calculator built in with this program called 'et' https://code.mathr.co.uk/et
made by Claude Heiland-Allen.
Some simplifications were made using wxmaxima.

Perturbation calculations only work when all the terms in the formula are "small". See here for an explanation:
https://www.ultrafractal.com/help/writing/formulas/perturbationequations.html

In this case, if you look at the nominator of the equation, it ends with 2c^2 - 6c + 4. All these terms (and others) are "large", so you can't calculate this with double precision and expect to be able to zoom in past the double precision limit. So the Magnet formula simply doesn't lend itself to perturbation calculations.

Makes sense. So the coefficients have to be small. Otherwise, it won't work.
But is there a better solution to make these coefficients "small"?

By the way, ever heard of "rebasing" and "Bivariate Linear Approximation"? These are two new developments made by Zhuoran on FractalForums. BLA proves to be much better than series approximation.

I think the conclusion is that the math simply doesn't work, so you can't use perturbation calculations with e.g. the Magnet formulas.

I haven't yet looked into the new developments that you mentioned, thanks for the links!

For this FractalForums user, it worked with their own Java-based fractal zoomer (superheal, https://fractalforums.org/index.php?topic=4452.msg31028#msg31028 ). I was baffled, and I don't get it how they managed to pull it off...
Maybe the way how Fractal Zoomer and UF handle perturbation theory work differently, because they have a different language or something?

Also to mention that perturbation is not optimized for convergent fractal formulas...

Tried it with the Nova fractal, it only worked with the diverging bailout conditions. Is there a way to make perturbation work with the converging bailout conditions or any custom bailout condition?
