- All the work on deterministic self-similarity, iterated function systems etc
- has its basis on the 1981 paper "Fractals and Self Similarity" by one
- J. E. Hutchinson, from the Australian National University at Canberra.
- This pioneering paper is extremely impressive and deep, but (to my knowledge)
- the author has no prior or later publications at all. This despite a hint
- in that paper that more was to follow.
-
- Does anyone have any idea who this guy was or what happened to him? I find
- it strange how such a seminal work could just appear from Australia and
- the author never publish again.
