This is the first of a series of three articles that treats fracture localization as a critical phenomenon. This first article establishes a statistical mechanics based on ensemble averages when fluctuations through time play no role in…
It is shown that elementary excitations in fractal media obey the so-called parastatistics of a variable order. We show that the order of the parastatistics $N(k) $ is a function of wave numbers $k$ which depends on the fractal dimension…
We study the kinetics of random sequential adsorption of a mixture of particles with continuous distribution of sizes for different deposition rules. It appears in the long time limit the resulting system can be described using the fractal…
We study growth rates of generalised Fibonacci sequences of a particular structure. These sequences are constructed from choosing two real numbers for the first two terms and always having the next term be either the sum or the difference…
Geometrically regular weighted shifts (in short, GRWS) are those with weights $\alpha (N,D)$ given by $\alpha_n (N,D) = \sqrt{\frac{p^n + N}{p^n + D}}$, where $p > 1$ and $(N,D)$ is fixed in the open unit square $ (-1, 1)\times (-1, 1)$. We…
Discretized landscapes can be mapped onto ranked surfaces, where every element (site or bond) has a unique rank associated with its corresponding relative height. By sequentially allocating these elements according to their ranks and…
The local structure of a fractal set is described by its dimension $D$, which is the exponent of a power-law relating the mass ${\cal N}$ in a ball to its radius $\epsilon$: ${\cal N}\sim \epsilon^D$. It is desirable to characterise the…
We study inflationary dynamics within the framework of fractal cosmology, where space is characterized by an effective non-integer dimension $D$. In our work, fractal effects are sourced through thermodynamic modifications at the…
A general expression resembling Breit-Wigner formulae is derived for the description of resonances which appear in meson-meson scattering. Starting point is a unitarised meson model, but reduced to a simpler form and freed from the specific…
Consider a string of $n$ positions, i.e. a discrete string of length $n$. Units of length $k$ are placed at random on this string in such a way that they do not overlap, and as often as possible, i.e. until all spacings between neighboring…
1 : We use properties of the Stern Sequence for numerical computations of moments $\int^1_0 t^n d?(t)$ associated to Minkowski's Question Mark function.
Wilson coefficients of light four-quark condensates in QCD sum rules are evaluated for pseudo-scalar $D$ mesons, thus, pushing the sum rules toward mass dimension six. Contrary to the situation for $\bar{q}q$ mesons the impact of the…
We prove general equidistribution statements (both conditional and unconditional) relating to the Fourier coefficients of arithmetically normalized holomorphic Hecke cusp forms $f_1,\ldots,f_k$ without complex multiplication, of equal…
In the interstellar medium, as well as in the Universe, large density fluctuations are observed, that obey power-law density distributions and correlation functions. These structures are hierarchical, chaotic, turbulent, but are also…
Vincular and covincular patterns are generalizations of classical patterns allowing restrictions on the indices and values of the occurrences in a permutation. In this paper we study the integer sequences arising as the enumerations of…
It is well known that Sturmian sequences are the aperiodic sequences that are balanced over a 2-letter alphabet. They are also characterized by their complexity: they have exactly $(n+1)$ factors of length $n$. One possible generalization…
Let $ k \geq 2 $ be an integer. The $ k- $generalized Fibonacci sequence is a sequence defined by the recurrence relation $ F_{n}^{(k)}=F_{n-1}^{(k)} + \cdots + F_{n-k}^{(k)}$ for all $ n \geq 2$ with the initial values $ F_{i}^{(k)}=0 $…
In this paper we focus on finding all the factorials expressible as a product of a fixed number of $2k$-nacci numbers with $k \geq 2$. We derive the 2-adic valuation of the $2k$-nacci sequence and use it to establish bounds on the solutions…
We consider the fragmentation process with mass loss and discuss self-similar properties of the arising structure both in time and space, focusing on dimensional analysis. This exhibits a spectrum of mass exponents $\theta$, whose exact…
The self-similar cluster fluctuations of directed bond percolation at the percolation threshold are studied using techniques borrowed from inter\-mit\-ten\-cy-related analysis in multi-particle production. Numerical simulations based on the…
