Separation properties of (n, m)-IFS attractors
Abstract The separation properties of self similar sets are discussed in this article. An open set condition for the (n, m)- iterated function system is introduced and the concepts of self similarity, similarity dimension and Hausdorff dimension of the attractor generated by an (n, m) - iterated function system are studied. It is proved that the similarity dimension and the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor of an (n, m) - iterated function system are equal under this open set condition. Further a necessary and sufficient condition for a set to satisfy the open set condition is established.
On boundaries of attractors in dynamical systems
Abstract Fractal geometry is one of the beautiful and challenging branches of mathematics. Self similarity is an important property, exhibited by most of the fractals. Several forms of self similarity have been discussed in the literature. Iterated Function System (IFS) is a mathematical scheme to generate fractals. There are several variants of IFSs such as condensation IFS, countable IFS, etc. In this paper, certain properties of self similar sets, using the concept of boundary are discussed. The notion of boundaries like similarity boundary and dynamical boundary are extended to condensation IFSs. The relationships and measure theoretic properties of boundaries in dynamical systems are a…
