The Hutchinson-Barnsley theory for generalized iterated function systems by means of infinite iterated function systems

Abstract

The study of generalized iterated function systems (GIFS) was introduced by Mihail and Miculescu in 2008. We provide a new approach to study those systems as the limit of the Hutchinson-Barnsley setting for infinite iterated function systems (IIFS) which has been developed by many authors in the last years. We show that any attractor of a contractive generalized iterated function system is the limit with respect to Hausdorff-Pompeiu metric of attractors of contractive infinite iterated function systems. We also prove that any Hutchinson measure for a contractive generalized iterated function system with probabilities is the limit with respect to the Monge-Kantorovich metric of the Hutchinson measures for contractive infinite iterated function systems with probabilities.
