Recently a large number of studies has been published in the area of Fractal Analysis. In this paper we review briefly the IFS (Iterated Function System) theory, and we show how this theoretical tool leads to new applications in Pattern Recognition and more precisely in the analysis of handwritten texts. Among other results, this research work shows that fractal analysis is no longer only restricted to a descriptive role, but has entered in a functional phase. More precisely we developed a concrete application, based on automatic feature selection by fractal approach, and dedicated to alphabet discrimination.
