  1. Both the Mandelbrot set and filled Julia sets are subsets in the complex plane derived by studying iterations of complex polynomials. We develop a matricial framework to establish an alternate form of iteration by complex polynomials using a sequence of affine transformations. Using this framework, we are able to check membership in a filled Julia set and the Mandelbrot set by studying boundedness of sequences of matrices. Specifically, we show that a complex number belongs to the Mandelbrot set if and only if a particular sequence of matrices is bounded in the operator norm, and a complex number belongs to a filled Julia set if and only if a particular sequence of matrices is bounded in operator norm.
