Abstract: In 1935, Whitney constructed a smooth function for which the Morse-Sard Theorem does not hold. Whitney's construction is closely related to certain compact connected set, which is called Whitney set now. From then on, there are a lot of works on Whitney sets. In this paper, we use IFS with condensation, a notion introduced by Barnsley and Demko in 1985, to construct Whitney arcs and Whitney sets. Our construction includes most early results as special cases.

Review text

The author introduces conditions on iterated function systems with condensation such that its compact attractor is a Whitney set. On Whitney sets in \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\), \(d\ge 2\), we have non constant \(C^1\) functions with vanishing gradient. The construction of the paper gives classical as well as new examples of such sets.
