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).

Iterated function system on the plane
partial solution
Something like this should work. We are given $r_1, r_2, r_3 > 0$ with $r_1^2+r_2^2+r_3^2<1$. Let $s$ be such that $r_1^s+r_2^s+r_3^s = 1$; this $s$ is the similarity dimension …

A calculus question related to quantization dimension
My response to the answer by fedja, Jun 5, 2011. This should be a comment, but won't fit.
It didn't work. Taking values of $A,B,\epsilon$ that satisfy your conditions, then tracing back through u …

Minimum number of contractions needed to obtain a particular invariant set
Perhaps you can consult some of the literature on "finite type condition" for IFSs.
That's if you are willing to allow overlap in the IFS.

Hausdorff dimension for invariant measure?
Hausdorff dimension of a measure is studied, yes.
The mathematical texts should treat this.

Hausdorff dimension of inverse images.
Indeed, more is true: (1) The topological dimension is $\ge d-1$. And (2) the Hausdorff dimension is $\ge$ the topological dimension.
For (1) note that $C$ is a closed set that separates $\mathbb …

Angles and proportions occurring in L-system fractals
In your first example, I think the ratio is

There is no reason to think this is a rational number of degrees. And: the …

Determining a lower bound on the Hausdorff dimension of a set
Upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension is often easy, from the definition.
Lower bound can be harder. One method can be used if you have a measure on your set. Even better, a measure that naturall …

Hausdorff dimension: subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ vs. boundary of this subset
"Smaller" in the sense of $\le$ ... If $S$ is closed and has Hausdorff dimension $< n$, then $S$ has empty interior, so (as noted by Joel) $S$ is its own boundary, and thus we have equality for the tw …

Is there an intrinsic definition of fractal (i.e. not embedded in euclidean space)?
Topological dimension (say, covering dimension) $\dim_\mathrm{T}$ and Hausdorff dimension $\dim_\mathrm{H}$ both make sense for metric spaces. Benoit Mandelbrot defined $A$ to be a fractal iff $\dim_ …
