Abstract

Given a multi-valued function Φ\Phi on a topological space XX we study the properties of its fixed fractal, which is defined as the closure of the orbit Φω(Fix(Φ))=nωΦn(Fix(Φ))\Phi^\omega(Fix(\Phi))=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}\Phi^n(Fix(\Phi)) of the set Fix(Φ)={xX:xΦ(x)}Fix(\Phi)=\{x\in X:x\in\Phi(x)\} of fixed points of Φ\Phi. A special attention is paid to the duality between micro-fractals and macro-fractals, which are fixed fractals for a contracting compact-valued function Φ\Phi on a complete metric space XX and its inverse multi-function Φ1\Phi^{-1}. With help of algorithms (described in this paper) we generate various images of macro-fractals which are dual to some well-known micro-fractals like the fractal cross, the Sierpinski triangle, Sierpinski carpet, the Koch curve, or the fractal snowflakes. The obtained images show that macro-fractals have a large-scale fractal structure, which becomes clearly visible after a suitable zooming.
