Abstract
We study in depth the equivalence between subshrubs and chaotic
bands in the Mandelbrot set. In order to do so, we introduce the
rules for chaotic bands and the rules for subshrubs, as well as
the transformation rules that allow us to interchange them. From
all the denominations of a chaotic band, we show the canonical
form; that is, the one associated to the hyperbolic component that
generates such a chaotic band. Starting from the study of the
one-dimensional route, we fulfil an inductive study that gives a
generalization of the shrub concept.
