Physical fractals invariably have upper and lower limits for their fractal structure. Berry has shown that a particle sharply confined to a box has a wave function that is fractal both in time and space, with no lower limit. In this…
We study the spectrum of the Fibonacci Hamiltonian and prove upper and lower bounds for its fractal dimension in the large coupling regime. These bounds show that as $\lambda \to \infty$, $\dim (\sigma(H_\lambda)) \cdot \log \lambda$…
We examine the stability of a 1D electrical transmission line in the simultaneous presence of PT-symmetry and fractionality. The array contains a binary gain/loss distribution $\gamma_{n}$ and a fractional Laplacian characterized by a…
In this article we investigate the energy spectrum statistics of fractals at the quantum level. We show that the energy-level distribution of a fractal follows a power-law behaviour, if its energy spectrum is a limit set of piece-wise…
We derive basic equations of electromagnetic fields in fractal media which are specified by three indepedent fractal dimensions {\alpha}_{i} in the respective directions x_{i} (i=1,2,3) of the Cartesian space in which the fractal is…
The propagation front of a crack generates large strain gradients and it is therefore a strong source of gradient-induced polarization (flexoelectricity). Herein, we demonstrate that, in piezoelectric materials, a consequence of…
It is wellknown that the ordinary calculus is inadequate to handle fractal structures and processes and another suitable calculus needs to be developed for this purpose. Recently it was realized that fractional calculus with suitable…
The four wavenumbers associated with planewave propagation in a Faraday chiral medium (FCM) with relatively huge magnetoelectric coupling give rise to enhanced possibilities for negative-phase-velocity propagation and therefore negative…
In this paper we first obtain the order of stress singularity for a dynamically propagating self-affine fractal crack. We then show that there is always an upper bound to roughness, i.e. a propagating fractal crack reaches a terminal…
We present FDTD calculations for transmission of light and other electromagnetic waves through periodic arrays of slits in a metallic slab. The results show resonant, frequency dependent, transmittance peaks for subwavelength widths of the…
We propose a reinterpretation of the continuum grounded in the stratified structure of definability rather than classical cardinality. In this framework, a real number is not an abstract point on the number line, but an object expressible…
Fractal geometries, characterized by self-similar patterns and non-integer dimensions, provide an intriguing platform for exploring topological phases of matter. In this work, we introduce a theoretical framework that leverages isospectral…
The ability to transmit light through an array of closely packed waveguides while minimizing interwaveguide coupling has important implications for fields such as discrete imaging and telecommunications. Proposals for achieving these…
The propagation of nonlinear waves in a lattice of repelling particles is studied theoretically and experimentally. A simple experimental setup is proposed, consisting in an array of coupled magnetic dipoles. By driving harmonically the…
Fractal structures emerge from statistical and hierarchical processes in urban development or network evolution. In a class of efficient and robust geographical networks, we derive the size distribution of layered areas, and estimate the…
A rigorous theory of diffraction scattering from extended objects is proposed. The present theory is based on a multiple asymptotic expansion of an integral equation for the exact wave function in terms of the large parameters of the…
Self-similarity is a property of fractal structures, a concept introduced by Mandelbrot and one of the fundamental mathematical results of the 20th century. The importance of fractal geometry stems from the fact that these structures were…

In this paper, we study the dimension theory of a class of piecewise affine systems in euclidean spaces suggested by Michael Barnsley, with some applications to the fractal image compression. It is a more general version of the class…
