Hubbard trees and their properties.
… at the core of dendritic Julia sets. These trees encapsulate all the information about the larger Julia set, but in a much smaller, easier to understand structure. We discuss the structure of Hubbard trees, in particular, we provide a useful definition of branch point and endpoint. Afterwards, we …
