In this paper we present a general setting for aperiodic Jordan algebras arising from icosahedral quasicrystals that are obtainable as model sets of a cut-and-project scheme with a convex acceptance window. In these hypothesis, we show the…
The impetus for this study is the work of Dumas and Rigal on the Jordanian deformation of the ring of coordinate functions on $2\times 2$ matrices. We are also motivated by current interest in birational equivalence of noncommutative rings.…
This paper deals with quadratic irrationals of the form $m/q+\sqrt v$ for fixed positive integers $v$ and $q$, $v$ not a square, and varying integers $m$, $(m,q)=1$. Two numbers $m/q+\sqrt v$, $n/q+\sqrt v$ of this kind are equivalent (in a…
One of the most well known random fractals is the so-called Fractal percolation set. This is defined as follows: we divide the unique cube in $\mathbb{R}^d$ into $M^d$ congruent sub-cubes. For each of these cubes a certain retention…
A new method SREAG (spherical rectangular equal-area grid) is proposed to divide a spherical surface into equal-area cells. The method is based on dividing a sphere into latitudinal rings of near-constant width with further splitting each…
We give closed-form expressions for the Laurent series coefficients of the Gamma function near all its strictly negative singularities. These closed-form expressions are clearly self-similar. We briefly describe their algebraic and…
The asymptotic behavior of open plane sections of triply periodic surfaces is dictated, for an open dense set of plane directions, by an integer second homology class of the three-torus. The dependence of this homology class on the…
We show a new method of estimating the Hausdorff measure (of the proper dimension) of a fractal set from below. The method requires computing the subsequent closest return times of a point to itself.
Let (A,p_l)_{l\in\Bbb N} be a Frechet algebra. In this paper, we introduce the concept of Segal Frechet algebra and investigate known results about abstract Segal algebras, for Segal Frechet algebras. Also we recall the concept of…
For all positive non-square integer multiplier k, there is an infinity of multiples of triangular numbers which are also triangular numbers. With a simple change of variables, these triangular numbers can be found using solutions of Pell…
We introduce the notion of almost realizability, an arithmetic generalization of realizability for integer sequences, which is the property of counting periodic points for some map. We characterize the intersection between the set of…
The theorem on squaring a rectangle from a tiling of a quadrilateral (Schramm and Cannon-Floyd-Parry) gives a combinatorial version of the Riemann mapping theorem. We elucidate by example (the dumbbell) some of the limitations of…
We observe two kinds of fractal approximating graphs, the background structures of the generalized Sierpinski Arrowhead Curve independently of the recursive curves. Both graphs related to the generalized Sierpinski Gasket and based on a…
A simple, yet unifying method is provided for the construction of tilings by tiles obtained from the attractor of an iterated function system (IFS). Many examples appearing in the literature in ad hoc ways, as well as new examples, can be…
We apply the geometric construction of solutions of some variational problems of combinatorics to estimate the number of partitions and of plane partitions of an integer.
Using Pascal triangle, we give a simple generalization to the so-called STRAND Puzzle solved by Srinivasa Ramanujan. Thus we are interested in computing the median, first and third quartiles of some integer valued distributions, arising…
The Abelian sandpile process evolves configurations of chips on the integer lattice by toppling any vertex with at least 4 chips, distributing one of its chips to each of its 4 neighbors. When begun from a large stack of chips, the terminal…
A numerical scheme is presented to solve the one source near field refractor problem to arbitrary precision and it is proved that the scheme terminates in a finite number of iterations. The convergence of the algorithm depends upon proving…
The present paper formulates and solves a problem of dividing coins. The basic form of the problem seeks the set of the possible ways of dividing coins of face values 1,2,4,8,... between three people. We show that this set possesses a…
In this paper, we construct Pell matrices, analogous to Fibonacci matrices, to study algebraic properties of Pell numbers via linear algebra. This framework yields identities involving the trace, inverse, and determinant, as well as matrix…
