ABSTRACT:
The Chaos Game is a type of Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm applied to computing attractors and invariant measures associated with diverse fractal objects. This talk will pick on exciting aspects and applications of the Chaos Game, and the underlying ergodic theorem which it exploits, including restless textures, anti-aliasing, coupled IFS, fractal homeomorphisms, Bezier curves and splines, approximation of smooth functions by rough ones, and the "Kigami triangle".
