COMMENTS

Inspired by "The dark side of the Mandelbrot set".

Consider the case C = 1/4, 0 <= x <= 1/2. Draw the inscribed circles in the area between the parabola y = x^2 + 1/4 and the line y = x. The radii of the circles are found using AutoCAD's "tan-tan-tan" function. See details and illustration in the links.
