Here we will learn to recognize the visual signature of IFS driven by cyclic data, that is, numbers that repeat a particular pattern.
![]() |
The simplest repeated sequence is constant, just repeat the same number. |
![]() |
Constant sequences generate sequences of points that converge to the fixed point of the corresponding transformation. |
![]() |
The next simplest repeated sequence is a 2-cycle, it alternates between two values. |
![]() |
Here we find the addresses of the 2-cycle points. |
![]() |
Here we find the coordinates of the 2-cycle points. |
![]() |
How do the limiting points depend on the choice of initial point? |
![]() |
Repeating a pattern of three transformations produces a 3-cycle. |
![]() |
Here we find the addresses of the 3-cycle points. |
![]() |
Here we find the coordinates of the 3-cycle points. |
![]() |
What happens if we apply the 3-cycle transformations in a different order? |
![]() |
General cycles |
