The notion of self-similarity in the sense of iterated function system (IFS) for compact topological groups is given by S. Kocak in Definition 3. In this work, first we give the definition of strong self-similar group in the sense of IFS. Then, we investigate the main properties of these groups. We also obtain the relations between profinite groups and strong self-similar groups in the sense of IFS. Finally, we construct some examples of these groups. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.
