Jeffrey P. Dumont, Flynn J. Heiss, Kevin C. Jones, Clifford A. Reiter, and Lisa M. Vislocky, Chaotic Attractors and Evolving Planar Symmetry, Computers & Graphics, 23 (1999) 613-619.

Building upon work which illustrated families of chaotic functions with planar symmetries, we explore evolving attractors from one symmetry type to another. We observe different ways the symmetries evolve and pay attention to those which exhibit degenerate behavior. Visually attractive images with low symmetry can be created in this way.
