We investigate several aspects of the Assouad dimension and the lower dimension, which together form a natural `dimension pair'. In particular, we compute these dimensions for certain classes of self-affine sets and quasi-self-similar sets…
Dimension theory lies at the heart of fractal geometry and concerns the rigorous quantification of how large a subset of a metric space is. There are many notions of dimension to consider, and part of the richness of the subject is in…
In the multi-fractal analysis of large scale matter distribution, the scale of transition to homogeneity is defined as the scale above which the fractal dimension of underlying point distribution is equal to the ambient dimension of the…
Homogeneity and isotropy of the universe at sufficiently large scales is a fundamental premise on which modern cosmology is based. Fractal dimensions of matter distribution is a parameter that can be used to test the hypothesis of…
We compute the intrinsic Hausdorff dimension of spacetime at the infrared fixed point of the quantum conformal factor in 4D gravity. The fractal dimension is defined by the appropriate covariant diffusion equation in four dimensions and is…
For a self-similar set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that is the attractor of an iterated function system that does not verify the weak separation property, Fraser, Henderson, Olson and Robinson showed that its Assouad dimension is at least $1$. In…
We compute the Hausdorff, upper box and packing dimensions for certain inhomogeneous Moran set constructions. These constructions are beyond the classical theory of iterated function systems, as different nonlinear contraction…
In a previous paper we introduced a new `dimension spectrum', motivated by the Assouad dimension, designed to give precise information about the scaling structure and homogeneity of a metric space. In this paper we compute the spectrum…
We consider several different models for generating random fractals including random self-similar sets, random self-affine carpets, and fractal percolation. In each setting we compute either the \emph{almost sure} or the \emph{Baire…
If $X$ is a set with finite Assouad dimension, it is known that the Assouad dimension of $X-X$ does not necessarily obey any non-trivial bound in terms of the Assouad dimension of $X$. In this paper, we consider self-similar sets on the…
We develop a curvilinear invariant set of the diffusion tensor which may be applied to Diffusion Tensor Imaging measurements on tissues and porous media. This new set is an alternative to the more common invariants such as fractional…
The Assouad dimension of a metric space determines its extremal scaling properties. The derived notion of the Assouad spectrum fixes relative scales by a scaling function to obtain interpolation behaviour between the quasi-Assouad and…
We use persistent homology in order to define a family of fractal dimensions, denoted $\mathrm{dim}_{\mathrm{PH}}^i(\mu)$ for each homological dimension $i\ge 0$, assigned to a probability measure $\mu$ on a metric space. The case of…
In this article, we provide a simple and systematic way to represent general (inhomogeneous) fractals that may look different at different scales and places. By using set-valued compression maps, we express these general fractals as…
This paper provides a new model to compute the fractal dimension of a subset on a generalized-fractal space. Recall that fractal structures are a perfect place where a new definition of fractal dimension can be given, so we perform a…
We show that self-similar sets arising from iterated function systems that satisfy the Moran open-set condition, a canonical class of fractal sets, are `equi-homogeneous'. This is a regularity property that, roughly speaking, means that at…
We study the dimension theory of limit sets of iterated function systems consisting of a countably infinite number of conformal contractions. Our focus is on the Assouad type dimensions, which give information about the local structure of…
We investigate the box dimensions of inhomogeneous self-similar sets. Firstly, we extend some results of Olsen and Snigireva by computing the upper box dimensions assuming some mild separation conditions. Secondly, we investigate the more…
Disorder and homogeneity are two concepts that refer to spatial variation of the system potential. In condensed-matter systems disorder is typically divided into two types; those with local parameters varying from site to site (diagonal…
In this paper we study the Assouad-like $\Phi$ dimensions of sets and measures that are constructed by a random weighted iterated function system of similarities. These dimensions are distinguished by the depth of the scales considered and…
