For a graph-directed IFS with N states, we construct N graphs. We prove that all the invariant sets are connected, if and only if all the N graphs are connected; in this case, the invariant sets are all locally connected and path connected. Our result extends the results on the connectedness of the self-similar sets.展开更多
