A long-standing conjecture of Lapidus asserts that, under certain conditions, a self-similar fractal set is not Minkowski measurable if and only if it is of lattice-type. For self-similar sets in $\mathbb{R}$, the Lapidus conjecture has…
A long-standing conjecture of Lapidus claims that under certain conditions, self-similar fractal sets fail to be Minkowski measurable if and only if they are of lattice type. The theorem was established for fractal subsets of $\mathbb{R}$…
M. Lapidus and C. Pomerance (1990-1993) and K.J. Falconer (1995) proved that a self-similar fractal in $\mathbb{R}$ is Minkowski-measurable iff it is of non-lattice type. D. Gatzouras (1999) proved that a self-similar fractal in…
In a previous paper [arXiv:1006.3807], the authors obtained tube formulas for certain fractals under rather general conditions. Based on these formulas, we give here a characterization of Minkowski measurability of a certain class of…
We study Minkowski contents and fractal curvatures of arbitrary self-similar tilings (constructed on a feasible open set of an IFS) and the general relations to the corresponding functionals for self-similar sets. In particular, we…
We investigate (local) Minkowski measurability of $\mathcal C^{1+\alpha}$ images of self-similar sets. We show that (local) Minkowski measurability of a self-similar set $K$ implies (local) Minkowski measurability of its image $F$ and…
In this paper, we study the dimension of planar self-affine sets, of which generating iterated function system (IFS) contains non-invertible affine mappings. We show that under a certain separation condition, the dimension equals to the…
The space of deformations of the integer Heisenberg group under the action of $\textrm{Aut}(H(\mathbb{R}))$ is a homogeneous space for a non-reductive group. We analyze its structure as a measurable dynamical system and obtain mean and…
In this article we will investigate nonmeasurability with respect to some $\sigma$-ideals in Polish space $X,$ of images of subsets of $X$ by selected mappings defined on the space $X$. Among of them we answer the following question: "It is…
We study invariant measures for random countable (finite or infinite) conformal iterated function systems (IFS) with arbitrary overlaps. We do not assume any type of separation condition. We prove, under a mild assumption of finite entropy,…
Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ real expanding matrix and $\mathcal{D}$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $0\in\mathcal{D}$. The family of maps $\{f_d(x)=A^{-1}(x+d)\}_{d\in\mathcal{D}}$ is called a self-affine iterated function system…
Model sets (also called cut and project sets) are generalizations of lattices. Here we show how the self-similarities of model sets are a natural replacement for the group of translations of a lattice. This leads us to the concept of…
We consider the iterated function systems (IFSs) that consist of three general similitudes in the plane with centres at three non-collinear points, and with a common contraction factor $\la\in(0,1)$. As is well known, for $\la=1/2$ the…
We study countable compact spaces as potential attractors of iterated function systems. We give an example of a convergent sequence in the real line which is not an IFS-attractor and for each countable ordinal $\delta$ we show that a…
In this paper we consider Iterated Function Systems (IFS) on the real line consisting of continuous piecewise linear functions. We assume some bounds on the contraction ratios of the functions, but we do not assume any separation condition.…
The Minkowski content of a compact set is a fine measure of its geometric scaling. For Lebesgue null sets it measures the decay of the Lebesgue measure of epsilon neighbourhoods of the set. It is well known that self-similar sets,…
We use a characterization of Minkowski measurability to study the asymptotics of best packing on cut-out subsets of the real line with Minkowski dimension $d\in(0,1)$. Our main result is a proof that Minkowski measurability is a sufficient…
We review the theory of semiattractors associated with non-contractive Iterated Function Systems (IFSs) and demonstrate its applications on a concrete example. In particular, we present criteria for the existence of semiattractors due to…
Khintchine's theorem is a classical result from metric number theory which relates the Lebesgue measure of certain limsup sets with the convergence/divergence of naturally occurring volume sums. In this paper we ask whether an analogous…
It is shown that the lattice Wess-Zumino model written in terms of Ginsparg-Wilson fermions is invariant under a generalized supersymmetry transformation which is determined by an iterative procedure in the coupling constant. This…
