We establish properties of a new type of fractal which has partial self similarity at all scales. For any collection of iterated functions systems with an associated probability distribution and any positive integer V there is a…
We consider the self-assembly of fractals in one of the most well-studied models of tile based self-assembling systems known as the Two-handed Tile Assembly Model (2HAM). In particular, we focus our attention on a class of fractals called…
Fractals are ubiquitous natural emergences that have gained increased attention in engineering applications, thanks to recent technological advancements enabling the fabrication of structures spanning across many spatial scales. We show how…
Extended Vicsek fractals (EVF) are the structures constructed by introducing linear spacers into traditional Vicsek fractals. Here we study the Laplacian spectra of the EVF. In particularly, the recurrence relations for the Laplacian…
A standard scientific study comprises two processes: one is to describe a thing, and the other is to understand how the thing works. In order to understand the principle of urban growth, a number of shape indexes are proposed to describe…
A fractal can be simply understood as a set or pattern in which there are far more small things than large ones, e.g., far more small geographic features than large ones on the earth surface, or far more large-scale maps than small-scale…
Quantum fractal superlattices are microelectronic devices consisting of a series of thin layers of two semiconductor materials deposited alternately on each other over a substrate following the rules of construction of a fractal set, here,…
Using a generalization of vector calculus for space with non-integer dimension, we consider elastic properties of fractal materials. Fractal materials are described by continuum models with non-integer dimensional space. A generalization of…
Cohomology fractals are images naturally associated to cohomology classes in hyperbolic three-manifolds. We generate these images for cusped, incomplete, and closed hyperbolic three-manifolds in real-time by ray-tracing to a fixed visual…
We study the convergence of resistance metrics and resistance forms on a converging sequence of spaces. As an application, we study the existence and uniqueness of self-similar Dirichlet forms on Sierpinski gaskets with added rotated…
Mathematicians have been interested in non-periodic tilings of space for decades; however, it was the unexpected discovery of non-periodically ordered structures in intermetallic alloys which brought this subject into the limelight. These…
The boundaries of central place models proved to be fractal lines, which compose fractal texture of central place networks. A textural fractal can be employed to explain the scale-free property of regional boundaries such as border lines,…
Crystals are the materials which can be described by uniform periodic lattices. Traditionally, only the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-fold rotation symmetries are allowed in crystals because other n-fold rotation symmetries are forbidden by the…
Many soft and biological materials display so-called 'soft glassy' dynamics; their constituents undergo anomalous random motions and complex cooperative rearrangements. A recent simulation model of one soft glassy material, a coarsening…
The relationship between geometric and dynamic properties of fractal-like aggregates is studied in the continuum mass and momentum-transfer regimes. The synthetic aggregates were generated by a cluster-cluster aggregation algorithm. The…
Our first experience of dimension typically comes in the intuitive Euclidean sense: a line is one dimensional, a plane is two-dimensional, and a volume is three-dimensional. However, following the work of Mandelbrot \cite{mandelbrot},…
Iterated Function Systems (IFSs) have been at the heart of fractal geometry almost from its origin, and several generalizations for the notion of IFS have been suggested. Subdivision schemes are widely used in computer graphics and attempts…
Michael Barnsley introduced a family of fractals sets which are repellers of piecewise affine systems. The study of these fractals was motivated by certain problems that arose in fractal image compression but the results we obtained can be…
We study fractal measures on Euclidean space through the dynamics of "zooming in" on typical points. The resulting family of measures (the "scenery"), can be interpreted as an orbit in an appropriate dynamical system which often…
In this survey article, we investigate the spectral properties of fractal differential operators on self-similar fractals. In particular, we discuss the decimation method, which introduces a renormalization map whose dynamics describes the…
