We introduce new zeta functions related to an endomorphism $\phi$ of a discrete group $\Gamma$. They are of two types: counting numbers of fixed ($\rho\sim \rho\circ\phi^n$) irreducible representations for iterations of $\phi$ from an…
A directed graph is oriented if it can be obtained by orienting the edges of a simple, undirected graph. For an oriented graph $G$, let $\beta(G)$ denote the size of a minimum feedback arc set, a smallest subset of edges whose deletion…
It is known that the generating function associated with the enumeration of non-backtracking walks on finite graphs is a rational matrix-valued function of the parameter; such function is also closely related to graph-theoretical results…
We show that for the attractor $(K_{1},\dots,K_{q})$ of a graph directed iterated function system, for each $1\leq j\leq q$ and $\varepsilon>0$ there exits a self-similar set $K\subseteq K_{j}$ that satisfies the strong separation condition…
The reduced expressions for a given element $w$ of a Coxeter group $(W, S)$ can be regarded as the vertices of a directed graph $\mathcal{R}(w)$; its arcs correspond to the braid moves. Specifically, an arc goes from a reduced expression…
For directed graph iterated function systems (IFSs) defined on R, we prove that a class of 2-vertex directed graph IFSs have attractors that cannot be the attractors of standard (1-vertex directed graph) IFSs, with or without separation…
Stark and Terras introduced the edge zeta function of a finite graph in 1996. The edge zeta function is the reciprocal of a polynomial in twice as many variables as edges in the graph and can be computed in polynomial time. We look at graph…
In this paper, we study cut sets of attractors of iteration function systems (IFS) in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Under natural conditions, we show that all irreducible cut sets of these attractors are perfect sets or single points. This leads to a…
We characterize group representations that factor through monomial representations, respectively, block-triangular representations with monomial diagonal blocks, by arithmetic properties. Similar results are obtained for semigroup…
This paper seeks conditions that ensure that the attractor of a graph directed iterated function system (GD-IFS) cannot be realised as the attractor of a standard iterated function system (IFS). For a strongly connected directed graph, it…
We prove that the Littlewood conjecture is satisfied for a restricted class of pairs $(\alpha,\beta)$ of badly approximable numbers. We use the localization of the roots of a cubic equation with coefficients depending on the diophantine…
Let $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ be the unique attractor of an iterated function system. We consider the case where $K$ is an interval and study those elements of $K$ with a unique coding. We prove under mild conditions that the set of points…
If $F$ and $G$ are iterated function systems, then any infinite word $W$ in the symbols $F$ and $G$ induces a limit set. It is natural to ask whether this Cantor set can also be realized as the limit set of a single $C^{1 + \alpha}$…
Suppose that $\mathcal{C}$ is the space of all middle Cantor sets. We characterize all triples $(\alpha,~\beta,~\lambda)\in \mathcal{C}\times\mathcal{C}\times \mathbb{R}^*$ that satisfy $C_\alpha- \lambda C_\beta=[-\lambda,~1]. $ Also all…
We study the attractor of Iterated Function Systems composed of infinitely many affine, homogeneous maps. In the special case of second generation IFS, defined herein, we conjecture that the attractor consists of a finite number of…
Guided by classical concepts, we define the notion of \emph{ends} of an iterated function system and prove that the number of ends is an upper bound for the number of nondegenerate components of its attractor. The remaining isolated points…
For any contractive iterated function system (IFS, including the Moran systems), we show that there is a natural hyperbolic graph on the symbolic space, which yields the H\"{o}lder equivalence of the hyperbolic boundary and the invariant…
Many enumeration problems in combinatorics, including such fundamental questions as the number of regular graphs, can be expressed as high-dimensional complex integrals. Motivated by the need for a systematic study of the asymptotic…
This paper is an extension of the previous work of Chui, Filbir, and Mhaskar (Appl. Comput. Harm. Anal. 38 (3) 2015:489-509), not only from numeric data to include non-numeric data as in that paper, but also from undirected graphs to…
In this paper, we study graph-theoretic analogies of the Mertens' theorems by using basic properties of the Ihara zeta-function. One of our results is a refinement of a special case of the dynamical system Mertens' second theorem due to…
