Box dimension of fractal interpolation surfaces with vertical scaling function

Abstract: In this paper, we first present a simple lemma which allows us to estimate the box dimension of graphs of given functions by the associated oscillation sums and oscillation vectors. Then we define vertical scaling matrices of generalized affine fractal interpolation surfaces (FISs). By using these matrices, we establish relationships between oscillation vectors of different levels, which enables us to obtain the box dimension of generalized affine FISs under certain constraints.
