Fractals deal with special sets that exhibit complicated patterns in every scale. Fractal sets usually have a Hausdorff dimension different from its topological dimension. Examples include Julia sets, the Sierpinski triangle, the Cantor set. Fractals naturally appear in dynamical system, such as iterations in the complex plane, or as strange attractors to continuous dynamical systems, (see Lorentz attractor).

Is there some known way to create the Mandelbrot set (the boundary), with an iterated function system (IFS)? Julia sets can be formed by iterating the two functions $z \mapsto \pm \sqrt{z-c},$ and th …

Hausdorff dimension for invariant measure?

A fractal set has a Hausdorff dimension. In some cases, we may generate a fractal by iterating $f,$ and let the fractal be the set of starting points $x$ such that $|f^{\circ n}(x)|$ is bounded as $ …

Convex Julia sets

Consider the classical Julia set $J_f$ associated with $f(z)=z^2+c$. Since $J_c$ is completely invariant, we know that $f^{-1}(J_f) \subseteq J_f$. Now, let $H_f$ be the convex hull of $J_f$. Is it t …
