Sofic systems and extreme points of self-affine limit sets
Abstract
Given any iterated function system (IFS) on the plane whose affine transformations share the same contracting matrix T, we characterize the set of extreme points of the attractor A (along the convex hull conv(A)) in terms of a directed graph on the edges of conv(A). This graph corresponds to a sofic system on the coding space associated to the IFS. When T is proper orthogonal or purely real, we give conditions for conv(A) to be a finite polygon and, under additional symmetry of the transformations, we give conditions for A itself to coincide with conv(A).
