Abstract

Iterated function systems (IFS) provide a powerful method for constructing fractals and modeling complex structures. This paper develops the notion of a dynamical system of IFS to study how an initial IFS evolves over time. We construct a complete metric space consisting of countable IFS as the state space. An evolution operator is defined that maps the state space across time while satisfying properties of a dynamical system. We analyze the resulting IFS dynamics, introducing concepts like the IFS shift map and parity evolution operators. The shift map is proven continuous and its periodic points characterized. Results relate properties of parity evolution operators to similarity dimensions of the resulting IFS. Overall, this dynamical system framework allows rigorous analysis of IFS behavior over time. By providing tools to model fractal progression, it has significant applications in areas including image analysis, biology, and physics. The dynamics and properties established lay groundwork for future studies and practical models leveraging IFS.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
