Generalised Sierpinski Triangles

Abstract

The family of Generalised Sierpinski triangles consist of the classical Sierpinski triangle, the previously well investigated Pedal triangle and two new triangular shaped fractal objects denoted by $\triangle FNN$ and $\triangle FFN$. All of the generalised Sierpinski triangles are defined in terms of iterated functions systems (IFS's) found by generalising the classic IFS used for the Sierpinski triangle. In this paper the new IFSs for the two new types of fractal triangles are defined, the dimensions of the triangles are analysed, and applications for pedagogical use and tiling theory discussed.
