We study the topology and the Hausdorff dimension of a random Cantor set with overlaps, generated by an iterated function system with scaling ratio equal to the Golden Mean. The results extend known formulas to a case where the Open Set…

The attractors of iterated function systems are usually obtained as the Hausdorff limit of any non-empty compact subset under iteration. In this note we show that an iterated function system on a boundedly compact metric space has compact,…

A causal rate distortion function with a general fidelity criterion is formulated on abstract alphabets and a coding theorem is derived. Existence of the minimizing kernel is shown using the topology of weak convergence of probability…

We study invariant sets and measures generated by iterated function systems defined on countable discrete spaces that are uniform grids of a finite dimension. The discrete spaces of this type can be considered as models of spaces in which…

We examine the structure of families of distortion balls from the perspective of Kolmogorov complexity. Special attention is paid to the canonical rate-distortion function of a source word which returns the minimal Kolmogorov complexity of…

A Causal rate distortion function with a general fidelity criterion is formulated on abstract alphabets and the optimal reconstruction kernel is derived, which consists of a product of causal kernels. In the process, general abstract spaces…

For $m\ge 2$, consider $K$ the $m$-fold Cartesian product of the limit set of an IFS of two affine maps with rational coefficients. If the contraction rates of the IFS are reciprocals of integers, and $K$ does not degenerate to singleton,…

The $\epsilon$-machine is a stochastic process' optimal model -- maximally predictive and minimal in size. It often happens that to optimally predict even simply-defined processes, probabilistic models -- including the $\epsilon$-machine --…

Following in the footsteps of P. Erd\H{o}s and A. R\'enyi we compute the Hausdorff dimension of sets of numbers whose digits with respect to their $Q$-Cantor series expansions satisfy various statistical properties. In particular, we…

In a recent paper, Baker and Kong have studied the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection of Cantor sets with their translations. We extend their results to more general Cantor sets. The proofs rely on the frequencies of digits in unique…

While the notion of chaos is well established for dynamical systems on manifolds, it is not so for dynamical systems over discrete spaces with $ N $ variables, as binary neural networks and cellular automata. The main difficulty is the…

We study the worst case error of kernel density estimates via subset approximation. A kernel density estimate of a distribution is the convolution of that distribution with a fixed kernel (e.g. Gaussian kernel). Given a subset (i.e. a point…

Fractals equipped with intrinsic arithmetic lead to a natural definition of differentiation, integration and complex numbers. Applying the formalism to the problem of a Fourier transform on fractals we show that the resulting transform has…

We show that the Cantorvals connected with the geometric Cantor sets are not achievement sets of any series. However many of them are attractors of IFS consisting of affine functions.

A drawback of Kolmogorov-Chaitin complexity (K) as a function from s to the shortest program producing s is its noncomputability which limits its range of applicability. Moreover, when strings are short, the dependence of K on a particular…
