Fractal Interpolation on the Real Projective Plane

Abstract

Formerly the geometry was based on shapes, but since the last centuries this founding mathematical science deals with transformations, projections and mappings. Projective geometry identifies a line with a single point, like the perspective on the horizon line and, due to this fact, it requires a restructuring of the real mathematical and numerical analysis. In particular, the problem of interpolating data must be refocused. In this paper we define a linear structure along with a metric on a projective space, and prove that the space thus constructed is complete. Then we consider an iterated function system giving rise to a fractal interpolation function of a set of data.
