ABSTRACT

It presents a mathematical modeling of a biological system, this is a particular case of two fractal sets, an attractor repeller pair, according to the definition given by the Morse-Smalle theory; these are complementary fractal sets, since the complementary of the fractal repeller set is the attractor set, as we can see in the demonstration. The existence of this model in Nature is found in the flight of starlings. This dynamic system works like a beat of a heart, where the movement of the systole is equivalent to the contraction (attractor set) of the flight trajectory of birds and the diastole movement to its expansion (repeller set).The modeling is presented with differential equations written in Matlab code, and several images of the fractal sets associated with the flight pattern of the starlings are generated, so that we can see this model more clearly. We will begin with a definition and its subsequent mathematical demonstration to study this complex system of complementary fractals.
