Before rendering 2D or 3D fractals with iterated function systems, it is necessary to calculate the bounding extent of fractals. We develop a new algorithm to compute the bounding box which closely contains the entire attractor of an iterated function system. r 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Nonlinear systems, defined by a system of ODE’s, usually contain nonlinear terms. Under some circumstances these terms can be locally approximated by linear factors and by discretization can be transformed in the sequence of (hyperbolic) Iterated Function Systems (IFS). Then, this IFS generate a unique attractor that uses as a kind of characteristic set that reflects the dynamics in the vicinit...

We introduce a Fourier based harmonic analysis for a class of discrete dynamical systems which arise from Iterated Function Systems. Our starting point is the following pair of special features of these systems. (1) We assume that a measurable space X comes with a finite-to-one endomorphism r : X → X which is onto but not one-to-one. (2) In the case of affine Iterated Function Systems (IFSs) in...

The quantization dimension function for an F -conformal measure mF generated by an infinite conformal iterated function system satisfying the strong open set condition and by a summable Hölder family of functions is expressed by a simple formula involving the temperature function of the system. The temperature function is commonly used to perform a multifractal analysis, in our context of the m...
