Abstract
For the family of complex rational maps F_λ(z)=z^n+λ/z^d, where λ is a complex parameter and n, d ≥ 2 are integers, many small copies of the well-known Mandelbrot set are visible in the parameter plane. An infinite number of these are located around the boundary of the connectedness locus and are accessible by parameter rays from the Cantor set locus. Maps taken from main cardioid of these accessbile Mandelbrot sets have attracting periodic cycles. A method for constructing models of the Julia sets corresponding to such maps is described. These models are then used to explore the existence of dynamical conjugacies between maps taken from distinct accessible Mandelbrot sets in the upper halfplane.
