Fractals such as the Cantor set can be equipped with intrinsic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) that map the fractal into itself. The arithmetics allows one to define calculus and algebra intrinsic to…
We solve the two Diophantine equations $P_k=J_n+J_m$ and $Q_k=J_n+J_m$ where $\left\lbrace P_{k}\right\rbrace_{k\geq0}$, $\left\lbrace Q_{k}\right\rbrace_{k\geq0}$ and $\left\lbrace J_{k}\right\rbrace_{k\geq0}$ are the sequences of Pell…
By means of two complex-valued functions (depending on an integer parameter P>=1) we construct helices of integer ratio R>=1 related to the so-called Binet formulae for P-Lucas and P-Fibonacci sequences. Based on these functions a new map…
We consider several distances between two sets of points, which are modifications of the Hausdorff metric, and apply them to describe some fractals such as $\delta$-quasi-self-similar sets, and some other geometric notions in Euclidean…
In this work, we aim to advance the development of a fractal theory for sets of integers. The core idea is to utilize the fractal structure of $p$-adic integers, where $p$ is a prime number, and compare this with conventional densities and…
The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a…

We show that for every $n \in \mathbb N$ there is a collection of points $p_1, \ldots, p_n$ and lines $\ell_1, \ldots, \ell_n$ in the unit square such that for any $i$ we have $p_i \in \ell_i$ and the distance from $p_i$ to any other line…
The aim of this expository article is twofold. The first is to introduce several polynomials of one variable as well as two variables defined on the positive integers with values as congruent numbers. The second is to present connections…
This paper proposes a new method to analyze the spatial structure of urban systems using ideas from fractals. Regarding a system of cities as a set of "particles" distributed randomly on a triangular lattice, we construct a spatial…
We introduce a geometric construction which relates to the pentagram map much in the way that a logarithmic spiral relates to a circle. After introducing the construction, we establish some basic geometric facts about it, and speculate on…
We count tilings of a rectangle of integer sides m-1 and n-1 by a special set of tiles. The result is obtained fron the study of the kernel of the adjacency matrix of an n x n rectangular graph of Z x Z.
