Iterated Function Systems Fall 2020

 Iterated function systems are formed by iterating multi-valued affine maps of the plane or three dimensional space. These are created by students from Mathematics Through 3D Printing Fall 2020. 



Iterated function systems in the plane exhibiting 5- and 6-fold symmetries

The initial condition has maximum height, and the subsequent iterates are shorter and shorter. 

Iterates of the iterated function system appear like buildings in a cityscape - in fact IFS are often used for simulation of natural landscapes

Starting at with the bottom disk, each subsequent height is a new iterate
