We present a finite-order system of recurrence relations for a permanent of circulant matrices containing a band of k any-value diagonals on top of a uniform matrix (for k = 1, 2, and 3) as well as the method for deriving such recurrence…
We introduce the novel concept of a non-stationary iterated function system by considering a countable sequence of distinct set-valued maps $\{\mathcal{F}_k\}_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ where each $\mathcal{F}_k$ maps $\mathcal{H}(X)\to…
The derivative polynomials introduced by Knuth and Buckholtz in their calculations of the tangent and secant numbers are extended to a multivariable $q$--environment. The $n$-th $q$-derivatives of the classical $q$-tangent and $q$-secant…
Recurrence is a fundamental property of dynamical systems, which can be exploited to characterise the system's behaviour in phase space. A powerful tool for their visualisation and analysis called recurrence plot was introduced in the late…
The set of osculating circles of a given curve in $\SS^3$ forms a curve in the set of oriented circles in $\SS^3$. We show that its "${\frac12}$-dimensional measure" with respect to the pseudo-Riemannian structure of the set of circles is…
We consider transformations of deterministic and random signals governed by simple dynamical mappings. It is shown that the resulting signal can be a random process described in terms of fractal distributions and fractal domain integrals.…
A pair of planar polygons is "dancing" if one is inscribed in the other and they satisfy a certain cross-ratio relation at each vertex of the circumscribing polygon. Non-degenerate dancing pairs of closed $n$-gons exist for all $n\geq 6$.…
In this article we apply an L-system to prove a recurrence formula for the length of the boundary of iterands of the well known Harter-Heighway dragon curve, a space filling curve with fractal boundary. This leads to finding formulas for…
In 1962, Yoshihide Kozai reported his findings on the secular dynamics of asteroids moving in orbits with high inclination and eccentricity. In contrast to the classic understanding of the stability of planetary motion in the solar system,…
Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are known with reasonable precision for a large number of galaxies with similar morphologies. The data implies that non-Keplerian fall--off is seen. This implies that (i) large amounts of dark matter must…
We explore a novel link between two seemingly disparate mathematical concepts: Egyptian fractions and fractals. By examining the decomposition of rationals into sums of distinct unit fractions, a practice rooted in ancient Egyptian…
Rectangulations are decompositions of a square into finitely many axis-aligned rectangles. We describe realizations of $(n-1)$-dimensional polytopes associated with two combinatorial families of rectangulations composed of $n$ rectangles.…
We present a solution to the time discontinuity paradox in rotating reference frames by postulating that time is periodic. A kinematic restriction is enforced that requires the discontinuity to be an integral number of the periodicity of…
Let $\{a_n(x)\}_{n\geq1}$ be the sequence of digits of $x\in(0,1)$ in infinite iterated function systems with polynomial decay of the derivative. We first study the multifractal spectrum of the convergence exponent defined by the sequence…
Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are the major tool for determining the distribution of mass in spiral galaxies. They provide fundamental information for understanding the dynamics, evolution and formation of spiral galaxies. We describe…
Theories of fundamental physics as well as cosmology must ultimately not only account for the structure and evolution of the universe and the physics of fundamental interactions, but also lead to an understanding of why this particular…
We consider the fractal characteristic of the quantum mechanical paths and we obtain for any universal class of fractons labeled by the Hausdorff dimension defined within the interval 1$ $$ < $$ $$h$$ $$ <$$ $$ 2$, a fractal distribution…
There are various notions of dimension in fractal geometry to characterise (random and non-random) subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. In this expository text, we discuss their analogues for infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z^d$ and, more generally, for…
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…
We study the convergence of certain subseries of the harmonic series corresponding to increasing sequences of integers whose digits in a certain base are not uniformly distributed. We also discuss the case of irregular sequences, where the…
