Narrow Results

A new class of fractals called hyperfractals is systematically investigated. Their underlying fractals in supporting spaces are multivalued fractals developed by ourselves in our earlier papers [Andres & Fiser, 2004; Andres et al., 2005]. In the case of uniqueness, they also coincide with the supports of invariant measures of the associated Markov–Feller hyperoperators. We prove their existence by means of fixed point theorems in hyperspaces and calculate, in particular cases of generating hypermaps, their Hausdorff dimension. Two illustrative examples are supplied.

The prime merit of the paper is to visualize hyperfractals via support functions. More precisely, address sets of hyperfractals, i.e. fractals living in hyperspaces, will be visualized in this way.
