The top of the attractor $A$ of a hyperbolic iterated function system $\left\{ f_{i}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{n}|i=1,2,\dots,M\right\} $ is defined and used to extend self-similar tilings to overlapping systems. The theory…
We introduce a self-inverse function via an integral equivalent to a two-term combination of dilogarithms. We refer to this function as a fundamental form, since there is a family of extensions of this function that satisfy similar…

Diophantine approximation is the problem of approximating a real number by rational numbers. We propose a version of this in which the numerators are approximately related to the denominators by a Laurent polynomial. Our definition is…
We study Non-autonomous Iterated Function Systems (NIFSs) with overlaps. A NIFS on a compact subset $X\subset\mathbb{R}^m$ is a sequence $\Phi=(\{\phi^{(j)}_{i}\}_{i\in I^{(j)}})_{j=1}^{\infty}$ of collections of uniformly contracting maps…
