The structure of fuzzy fractals generated by an orbital fuzzy iterated function system (Q6041609)

Let \(\left((X, d),\left(f_i\right)_{i \in l},\left(\rho_i\right)_{i \in I}\right) \stackrel{\text { not }}{=} S_Z\) be an iterated fuzzy function system, the paper presents a structure characterization for the fuzzy fractal \(u\) generated by an orbital fuzzy iterated function system (OFIS) \(\mathcal{Z} = (X,d,f_i,\rho_i)_{i\in I}\). Theorem 3.2 shows the fuzzy fractal \(u_\Lambda\) of the canonical system \(\Lambda = (I,d_\Lambda,\tau_i,\rho_i){i\in I}\) is determined only by the gray level maps \(\rho_i\): \(u\Lambda = \lim_{n\to\infty} u_n\) where \(u_n(\omega) = \rho^n_{[\omega]}(1)\). Theorem 3.4 proves the canonical projection \(\pi: I \to X\) maps \(u_\Lambda\) to the OFIS fuzzy fractal \(u_S\): \(\pi(u_\Lambda) = u_S\). Theorem 3.5 expresses \(u\) as the supremum of projections of \(u_\Lambda\) under maps \(\tilde{\pi}_x: I \to \tilde{W}_x\) associated to restricted systems \(\tilde{\mathcal{Z}}x\): \(u = \sup{x\in[u]^*} \tilde{\pi}x(u\Lambda)\). Mathematically, this uses: \begin{itemize} \item Contractivity of the Hutchinson operators \(Z,Z_\Lambda\). \item Continuity and mapping properties of the projections \(\pi,\tilde{\pi}_x\). \item Uniqueness of fixed points of contractions. \item Lemmas relating iterates of the operators. \item The results characterize \(u\) by linking it to the simpler \(u_\Lambda\) using the projections between the systems. This reveals the underlying fractal structure. \end{itemize}
