Problem statement
The Mandelbrot set is the set of all complex parameters for which the orbit of under iteration of the map remains bounded; equivalently, it is the set where and . The frontier (topological boundary) of a set is the intersection of its closure with the closure of its complement. The volume (Lebesgue measure) of a measurable subset of is its two-dimensional Lebesgue measure. Prove that the volume of the frontier of the Mandelbrot set equals .
