Abstract:
Lipscomb's one-dimensional space on an arbitrary index set is injected into the Tychonoff cube . The image of is shown to be the attractor of an iterated function system indexed by . This system is conjugate, under an injection, with a set of right-shift operators on Baire's space regarded as a code space. This view of extends the fractal nature of initiated in a 1992 joint paper by the author and S. Lipscomb. In addition, we give a new proof that as a subspace of Hilbert's space , the space is complete and hence is closed in .
