Zalcman functions and similarity between the Mandelbrot set, Julia sets, and the tricorn (Q1987037)

The paper presents an approach to the asymptotic similarity between Julia sets and Mandelbrot sets at Misiurewicz parameters (a result of \textit{T. Lei} [Commun. Math. Phys. 134, No. 3, 587--617 (1990; Zbl 0726.58026)]). The key tool is the famous Zalcman lemma, which is used by the author to relate the dynamical plane to the parameter plane. A similar idea leads to the asymptotic similarity at Misiurewicz parameters in the setting of anti-holomorphic dynamics.
