Are there any good estimates for the area of multibrot-sets (eg. z->z^5
+c)?
I'm doing a bit of research on that matter but found nothing up to now.
Currently I'm pixel-counting it myself but the values are far from being
precise.
Are there even estimates for the area of sets like z->z^-n+c? In this
case I think it would be more appropiate to count the escaping pixels but
my own efforts lead to very small values not anymore in the precision of
my program.

Here's a link to one of the classic papers on the Mandelbrot set area: (

Yuval Fisher
is known for his work on a fractal compress algorithm for the Department
of the Navy)
Here are upper and lower bounds methods:

Thanks, didn't know that one.
It's not exactly what I wanted but certainly is interesting. We'll see if
this algorithm is any help for my problem but I think so.

Some realted work I did, up to where my time allowed my to go:

Thanks! Especially your pixelcounting-speedup was a great help.

I got nearly the same values for the area for k>0, no surprise there. But
the M-Sets for k<0 are quite "fuzzy" so the pixelcounted area differs
quite a bit. I'm currently thinking of a way to get more definite
results...
