Calculating Hausdorff dimension of Julia sets and Kleinian limit sets

We present a new algorithm for efficiently computing the Hausdorff dimension of sets X invariant under conformal expanding dynamical systems. By locating the periodic points of period up to N, we construct approximations s_N which converge to dim(X) super-exponentially fast in N. This method can be used to give rigorous estimates for important examples, including hyperbolic Julia sets and limit sets of Schottky and quasifuchsian groups.
