We study $p$-energies on post critically finite (p.c.f.) self-similar sets for $1<p<\infty$, as limits of discrete $p$-energies on approximation graphs, extending the construction of Dirichlet forms, the $p=2$ setting. By suitably enlarging…
I give an explicitly verifiable necessary and sufficient condition for the uniqueness of the eigenform on finitely ramified fractals, once an eigenform is known. This improves the results of my previous paper [14], where I gave some…
We study derivations and Fredholm modules on metric spaces with a local regular conservative Dirichlet form. In particular, on finitely ramified fractals, we show that there is a non-trivial Fredholm module if and only if the fractal is not…
In this paper, we search for {\it absolute} limitations of the Tile Assembly Model (TAM), along with techniques to work around such limitations. Specifically, we investigate the self-assembly of fractal shapes in the TAM. We prove that no…
A \emph{pier fractal} is a discrete self-similar fractal whose generator contains at least one \emph{pier}, that is, a member of the generator with exactly one adjacent point. Tree fractals and pinch-point fractals are special cases of pier…
We offer in this review a description of the vacuum energy of self-similar systems. We describe two views of setting self-similar structures and point out the main differences. A review of the authors' work on the subject is presented,…
We consider a special type of self-similar sets, called fractal squares, and give a brief review on recent results and unsolved issues with an emphasis on their topological properties.
The method of spectral decimation is applied to an infinite collection of self--similar fractals. The sets considered belong to the class of nested fractals, and are thus very symmetric. An explicit construction is given to obtain formulas…
In this article, we survey recent progress on self-similar $p$-energy forms on self-similar fractals, where $p\in(1,\infty)$. While for $p=2$ the notion of such forms coincides with that of self-similar Dirichlet forms and there have been…
We study the convergence of resistance metrics and resistance forms on a converging sequence of spaces. As an application, we study the existence and uniqueness of self-similar Dirichlet forms on Sierpinski gaskets with added rotated…
In the present work we explore resistive circuits where the individual resistors are arranged in fractal-like patterns. These circuits have some of the characteristics typically found in geometric fractals, namely self-similarity and scale…
For a given pcf self-similar fractal, a certain network (weighted graph) is constructed whose ideal boundary is (homeomorphic to) the fractal. This construction is the first representation of a connected self-similar fractal as the boundary…
We define sets with finitely ramified cell structure, which are generalizations of p.c.f. self-similar sets introduced by Kigami and of fractafolds introduced by Strichartz. In general, we do not assume even local self-similarity, and allow…
The aim of the present work is to show how, using the differential calculus associated to Dirichlet forms, it is possible to construct Fredholm modules on post critically finite fractals by regular harmonic structures. The modules are…
In this paper, I describe the construction of certain functional integrals in the gradient on finitely ramified fractals, which have a sort of self-similarity property.
The study of Lipschitz equivalence of fractals is a very active topic in recent years. It is natural to ask when two fractal sets are strictly H\"older equivalent. In the present paper, we completely characterize the strict H\"older…
We analyse the energy supercritical semilinear wave equation $$\Phi_{tt}-\Delta\Phi-|\Phi|^{p-1}\Phi=0$$ in $\mathbb R^d$ space. We first prove in a suitable regime of parameters the existence of a countable family of self similar profiles…
The self-similarity properties of fractals are studied in the framework of the theory of entire analytical functions and the $q$-deformed algebra of coherent states. Self-similar structures are related to dissipation and to noncommutative…
We establish properties of a new type of fractal which has partial self similarity at all scales. For any collection of iterated functions systems with an associated probability distribution and any positive integer V there is a…
It is known that Laplacian operators on many fractals have gaps in their spectra. This fact precludes the possibility that a Weyl-type ratio can have a limit and is also a key ingredient in proving that the Fourier series on such fractals…
