HIDDEN VARIABLE RECURRENT FRACTAL INTERPOLATION FUNCTIONS WITH FUNCTION CONTRACTIVITY FACTORS

In this paper, we introduce a construction of hidden variable recurrent fractal interpolation functions (HVRFIFs) with four function contractivity factors. The HVRFIF is a hidden variable fractal interpolation function (HVFIF) constructed using a recurrent iterated function system (RIFS). In the fractal interpolation theory, it is very important to ensure flexibility and diversity of the construction of interpolation functions. RIFSs produce fractal sets with local self-similarity structure. Therefore, the RIFS can describe the irregular and complicated objects in nature better than the iterated function system (IFS). The HVFIF is neither self-similar nor self-affine one. Hence, the HVFIF is more complicated, diverse and irregular than the fractal interpolation function (FIF). The contractivity factors of IFS are very important one that determines characteristics of FIFs. The IFS and RIFS with function contractivity factors can describe the fractal objects in nature better than one with constant contractivity factors. To ensure higher flexibility and diversity of the construction of the FIFs, we present constructions of one variable HVRFIFs and bivariable HVRFIFs using RIFS with four function contractivity factors.
