Non-hyperbolic iterated function systems: semifractals and the chaos game
Tom 250 / 2020
Streszczenie
We consider iterated function systems (IFSs) on compact metric spaces and introduce the concept of target sets. Such sets have very rich dynamical properties and play a role similar to that played by semifractals introduced by Lasota and Myjak for regular IFSs. We study sufficient conditions which guarantee that the closure of the target set is a local attractor for the IFS. As a corollary, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the IFS to have a global attractor. We provide an example of a non-regular IFS whose target set is non-empty, showing that our approach gives rise to a new class of semifractals. Finally, we show that random orbits generated by IFSs draw target sets that are “stable”.
