Some recent progress concerning topology of fractals

From MaRDI portal





The survey covers about eighty articles published in last 15 years by at least sixty various authors. It focuses mainly on attractors of finite iterated function systems (IFSs) both in a complete metric space and, more general, in a compact Hausdorff topological space. Chapter 1 presents some preliminaries and contains a summary of various notions of attractors of IFSs, their existence and uniqueness. It recalls also briefly, as an example of superfractals, attractors of IFSs defined on a hyperspace of compact sets. Chapter 2 deals with addresses of points and sets on IFS attractors and presents Kieninger's classification of IFS attractors. In particular it explains the role of point-fibred attractors. Such attractors plays a key role in Chapter 3 which is devoted to fractal transformations between attractors. Chapter 4 summarizes some recent progress on a question of Kameyama, concerning the existence of contractive IFSs for a given point-fibred attractor of an IFS. Chapters 5 and 6 provides an exposition of attractor/repeller pairs associated with affine, Möbius, bi-affine and projective IFSs. Finally, Chapter 7 presents some results in understanding the ``Chaos Game algorithm for calculation of attractors, from the topological point of view.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1282.54001].
