Important Note: if you want to link, please link to this page. PLEASE do not link directly to the movies. It applies especially to users of the StumbleUpon toolbar, if you like or dislike movies thumbup or thumbdown this page, not movie files themselves.
If you link directly to the movies, i will have to take movies down and put movies on youtube in much lower quality. In which case your links will break anyway. I had to do it before. Thanks for your cooperation.
Equations:
Dx=a*(Pyn-Pxn)
Dy=b*Pxn-Pyn-Pxn*Pzn
Dz=Pxn*Pyn-c*Pzn
L=s*D*1/sqrt(Dx2+Dy2+Dz2)
Pn+1=Pn+L

Sources (C++) of the program used to render these movies: lorenz_ifs_movie_2006-11-10-r1.tar.gz (Released under zlib license.)
Warning: code quality is somewhat poor, that's weekend hack-job. It's written for Linux, you'll probably need porting to run it on non-unix systems (see the system() calls). Requirements: ImageMagick with Magick++ .
I will add more movies to this page soon as i explore the parameters space.
If you can't view the movies you can try using VLC media player.
By the way, "Lorenz IFS" (Lorenz Iterated Function System) it is the name i gave to this chaotic attractor that i have discovered when experimenting with modifications of the Lorenz attractor. I have no idea if somebody discovered it before me. (also, if by chance you want to call it Lorenz-Lavrov or something like that i won't mind it much either ;-) heh. )
