Nathan Reading, NC State, “Fractals, the chaos game, and the contraction mapping theorem”
One way of drawing a fractal shape uses a random process called the Chaos Game to produce a predictable (non-random) picture. We need to explore an important theorem called the Contraction Mapping Theorem. We’ll only scratch the surface, but we’ll try to get a sense of the interesting ideas involved. No prior knowledge of fractal…
