The author studies topological properties of the invariant set associated to an IFS (iterated function system) \(\{f_1,f_2,\ldots, f_m\}, m\geq 2\), defined on a complete metric space. The study is made by means of the address map \(\psi :\Sigma_{m}\to K\), where \(\Sigma_m\) is the space of infinite sequences of elements in an alphabet of \(m\) symbols, while \(K\) is the invariant set of the given IFS, \(\psi(s_1,s_2,\ldots, s_n,\ldots)=\lim_{n\to\infty}f_{s_1}f_{s_2}\cdots f_{s_n}(K)\). If the address map \(\psi\) is not one-to-one then the invariant set \(K\) is isomorphic to a quotient space \(\Sigma_m/\sim\). In the paper under review are investigated topological properties of the space \(\Sigma_m/\sim\) for any finite number \(m\). A basis for the quotient topology of \(\Sigma_m/\sim\) is constructed. In connection to this basis are defined the so-called end points of \(\Sigma_m/\sim\). Conditions that the number of end points to be 1 or 2 are then derived. Finally, some examples are given.
