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.
