چکیده
It is known that every hyperbolic Iterated Function System containing affine mappings can be represented in barycentric form by which it becomes affine invariant. Some properties were surveyed and some new ones were established. Examples of fractal sets supplement the theory.

Affine Subdivision, Steerable Semigroups, and Sphere Coverings
Let ∆ be a Euclidean n-simplex and let {∆j} denote a finite union of simplices which partition ∆. We assume that the partition is invariant under the affine symmetry group of ∆. A classical example of such a partition is the one obtained from barycentric subdivision, but there are plenty of other possibilities. (See §4.1, or else [Sp, p. 123], for a definition of barycentric subdivision.) Our p...
متن کاملTime-varying affine feedback for reach control on simplices
We study the reach control problem for affine systems on simplices, and the focus is on cases when it is known that the problem is not solvable by continuous state feedback. In previous work we used the reach control indices to construct a (discontinuous) piecewise affine control that solves the problem. Here we investigate the extent to which time-varying feedbacks can be used. A simple time-v...
متن کاملBases in Systems of Simplices and Chambers
We consider a finite set E of points in the n-dimensional affine space and two sets of objects that are generated by the set E: the system Σ of ndimensional simplices with vertices in E and the system Γ of chambers. The incidence matrix A =‖ aσ,γ ‖, σ ∈ Σ, γ ∈ Γ, induces the notion of linear independence among simplices (and among chambers). We present an algorithm of construction of bases of s...
متن کاملSimplicial Complexes and Spaces
The notion of simplicial complexes is usually introduced at the graduate level, as part of the study of algebraic topology. So the main objective of this paper is to organize and present materials found in the literature so that it is accessible to students at the undergraduate level. We first generalize linear algebra to affine linear algebra. Then using these results, we define, and subsequen...
متن کاملUnusual Formulae for the Euler Characteristic
Everyone knows that the Euler characteristic of a combinatorial manifold is given by the alternating sum of its numbers of simplices. It is shown that there are other linear combinations of the numbers of simplices which are combinatorial invariants, but that all such invariants are multiples of the Euler characteristic. Theorem [Pachner 1987, [3]]. Two closed combinatorial n-manifolds are PLho...
