Manipulation of non-linear ifs attractors using genetic programming

Non-linear Iterated Function Systems (IFSs) are very powerful mathematical objects related to fractal theory, that can be used in order to generate (or model) very ir-regular shapes. We investigate in this paper how Genetic Programming techniques can be efficiently exploited in order to generate randomly or interactively artistic “frac-tal ” 2D shapes. Two applications are presented for differ-ent types of non-linear IFSs: interactive generation of Mixed IFSs attractors us-ing a classical GP scheme, random generation of Polar IFSs attractors based on an “individual ” approach of GP.
