Abstract

A Mauldin-Williams graph M\mathcal{M} is a generalization of an iterated function system by a directed graph. Its invariant set KK plays the role of the self-similar set. We associate a CC^{*}-algebra OM(K)\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{M}}(K) with a Mauldin-Williams graph M\mathcal{M} and the invariant set KK laying emphasis on the singular points. We assume that the underlying graph GG has no sinks and no sources. If M\mathcal{M} satisfies the open set condition in KK and GG is irreducible and is not a cyclic permutation, then the associated CC^{*}-algebra OM(K)\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{M}}(K) is simple and purely infinite. We calculate the K-groups for some examples including the inflation rule of the Penrose tilings.
