Functions of bounded deformation ($BD$) arise naturally in the study of fracture and damage in a geometrically linear context. They are related to functions of bounded variation ($BV$), but are less well understood. We discuss here the…

Let $\psi:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_+$ be a monotonically non-increasing function, and let $\psi_v:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_+$ be defined by $\psi_v(q)=1/q^v$. In this article, we consider self-similar sets whose iterated…

This paper studies presentations of the Sierpinski gasket as a final coalgebra for functors on several categories of metric spaces with additional designated points. The three categories which we study differ on their morphisms: one uses…

Singular vectors are those for which the quality of rational approximations provided by Dirichlet's Theorem can be improved by arbitrarily small multiplicative constants. We provide an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of singular…

Consider a set of continuous maps from the interval $[0,1]$ to a domain in ${\mathbb R}^d$. Although the topological boundary of this set in the path space is not smooth in general, by using the theory of functions of bounded variation (BV…

Structural properties are given for $D(K)$, the Banach algebra of (complex) differences of bounded semi-continuous functons on a metric space $K$. For example, it is proved that if all finite derived sets of $K$ are non-empty, then a…

We prove that if $f:I\subset \Bbb R\to \Bbb R$ is of bounded variation, then the noncentered maximal function $Mf$ is absolutely continuous, and its derivative satisfies the sharp inequality $\|DMf\|_1\le |Df|(I)$. This allows us obtain,…

We show the existence of a bounded Borel measurable saturated compensation function for a factor map between subshifts. As an application, we find the Hausdorff dimension and measures of full Hausdorff dimension for a compact invariant set…

For any closed orientable 3-manifold, there is a volume function defined on the space of all Seifert representations of the fundamental group. The maximum absolute value of this function agrees with the Seifert volume of the manifold due to…

We explore properties of the value function and existence of optimal stopping times for functionals with discontinuities related to the boundary of an open (possibly unbounded) set $\mathcal{O}$. The stopping horizon is either random, equal…

This paper examines dimension of the graph of the famous Weierstrass non-differentiable function \[ W_{\lambda, b} (x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\lambda^n\cos(2\pi b^n x) \] for an integer $b \ge 2$ and $1/b < \lambda < 1$. We prove that for…

The classical Hausdorff dimension of finite or countable metric spaces is zero. Recently, we defined a variant, called \emph{finite Hausdorff dimension}, which is not necessarily trivial on finite metric spaces. In this paper we apply this…

The Hausdorff dimension of general Sierpinski carpets, [4] and [20], and the generalization on Lalley-Gatzouras carpets, [10], are today well known results, the formulas being obtain via the variational principle for the dimension. We call…

By relating the number of images of a function with finite domain to a certain parameter, we obtain both an upper and lower bound for the image set. Even though the arguments are elementary, the bounds are, in some sense, best possible. The…

In this paper we propose the idea of expanding the space of variations in standard variational calculations for the energy by considering the wave function $\psi$ to be a functional of a set of functions $\chi: \psi = \psi[\chi]$, rather…

Let f be a transcendental entire function in the Eremenko-Lyubich class B. We give a lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of f that depends on the growth of f. This estimate is best possible and is obtained by proving a…

We study the spectrum of the Fibonacci Hamiltonian and prove upper and lower bounds for its fractal dimension in the large coupling regime. These bounds show that as $\lambda \to \infty$, $\dim (\sigma(H_\lambda)) \cdot \log \lambda$…

We consider fractal graphs invariant by a skew product $F:\mathbb{T}^k\times \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{T}^k\times \mathbb{R}$ of the form $F(x,y)=(Ax, \lambda y+p(x))$ where $0<\lambda<1$, $p\colon\mathbb{T}^k\to\mathbb{R}$ is a…

In this article, we construct the multivariate fractal interpolation functions for a given data points and explore the existence of $\alpha$-fractal function corresponding to the multivariate continuous function defined on $[0,1]\times…

We consider a model of loop-erased random walks on the finite pre-Sierpinski gasket which permits rigorous analysis. We prove the existence of the scaling limit and show that the path of the limiting process is almost surely self-avoiding,…
