Iterated function systems (IFS) can be a surprisingly useful tool for studying structure in data. Here we present results stemming from a 2013 computational study by the author using IFS. The results include fractal patterns that reveal…

This paper introduces Fourier duality for a class of affine iterated function systems (IFS) T_i. These systems are determined by a finite family of contractive affine maps in R^d. Our Fourier duality applies to the resulting probability…

This paper considers self-conformal iterated function systems (IFSs) on the real line whose first level cylinders overlap. In the space of self-conformal IFSs, we show that generically (in topological sense) if the attractor of such a…

The top of the attractor $A$ of a hyperbolic iterated function system $\left\{ f_{i}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{n}|i=1,2,\dots,M\right\} $ is defined and used to extend self-similar tilings to overlapping systems. The theory…

We consider infinite conformal iterated function systems on $\mathbb{R}^d$. We study the geometric structure of the limit set of such systems. Suppose this limit set intersects some $l$-dimensional $C^1$-submanifold with positive Hausdorff…

The intention of this article is to introduce a generalization of Proinov-type contraction via simulation functions. We name this generalized contraction map as Proinov-type Z-contraction. This article establishes the existence and…

Let $X$ be a universal (Urysohn) space. We prove that every topological fractal is homeomorphic (isometric) to the attractor $A_{\mathcal F}$ of a function system ${\mathcal F}$ on $X$ consisting of Rakotch contractions.

We study a wide class of fractal interpolation functions in a single platform by considering the domains of these functions as general attractors. We obtain lower and upper bounds of the box dimension of these functions in a more general…

By appropriate choices of elements in the underlying iterated function system, methodology of fractal interpolation entitles one to associate a family of continuous self-referential functions with a prescribed real-valued continuous…

In this paper we present a result which establishes a connection between the theory of compact operators and the theory of iterated function systems. For a Banach space X, S and T bounded linear operators from X to X such that \parallel S…

Fractals are ubiquitous in nature, and since Mandelbrot's seminal insight into their structure, there has been growing interest in them. While the topological properties of the limit sets of IFSs have been studied -- notably in the…

The orbit of a point $x\in X$ in a classical iterated function system (IFS) can be defined as $\{f_u(x)=f_{u_n}\circ\cdots \circ f_{u_1}(x):$ $u=u_1\cdots u_n$ is a word of a full shift $\Sigma$ on finite symbols and $f_{u_i}$ is a…

This paper is an attempt to measure the difference between the family of iterated function systems attractors and a broader family, the set of attractors for weak iterated function systems. We discuss Borel complexity of the set wIFS$^d$ of…

Given an iterated function system (IFS) on a complete and separable metric space $Y$, there exists a unique compact subset $X \subseteq Y$ satisfying a fixed point relation with respect to the IFS. This subset is called the attractor set,…
