CONSTRUCTION OF RECURRENT FRACTAL INTERPOLATION SURFACES WITH FUNCTION SCALING FACTORS AND ESTIMATION OF BOX-COUNTING DIMENSION ON RECTANGULAR GRIDS

We consider a construction of recurrent fractal interpolation surfaces (RFISs) with function vertical scaling factors and estimation of their box-counting dimension. A RFIS is an attractor of a recurrent iterated function system (RIFS) which is a graph of bivariate interpolation function. For any given dataset on rectangular grids, we construct general RIFSs with function vertical scaling factors and prove the existence of bivariate functions whose graph are attractors of the above-constructed RIFSs. Finally, we estimate lower and upper bounds for the box-counting dimension of the constructed RFISs.
