Abstract

We present some properties characterizing the Mandelbrot set of quadratic rational maps. Any quadratic rational map is conjugate to either $z^2+c$ or ${\lambda}(z+1/z)+b$. For ${\mid}{\lambda}{\mid}=1$, we find the figure of the Mandelbrot set $M_{\lambda}$, the set of parameters b for which the Julia set of ${\lambda}(z+1/z)+b$ is connected. It is seen to be the whole complex plane if ${\lambda}{\neq}1$, but it is intricate fractal if ${\lambda}=1$. This supplements the work already investigated for the case ${\mid}{\lambda}{\mid}>1$.
