The basic question of this paper is: If you consider two iterated function systems close to one another in an appropriate topology, are the dimensions of their respective invariant sets close to one another? It is well-known that the Hausdorff dimension (and Lebesgue measure) of the invariant set do not depend continuously on the iterated function system. Our main result is that (with a restriction on the ‘non-conformality’ of the transformations) the Hausdorff dimension is a lower semi-continuous function in the C1- topology of the transformations of the iterated function system. The same question is raised of the …
