This paper presents the Sierpinski Gasket ($\mathbb{S}$) as a final coalgebra obtained by Cauchy completing the initial algebra for an endofunctor on the category of tri-pointed one bounded metric spaces with continuous maps. It has been…
We consider two endofunctors of the form $~F:X\longrightarrow M\otimes X~$, where $~M~$ is a non degenerate module, related to the unit interval and the Sierpinski gasket, and their final co-algebras. The functors are defined on the…
We advance the program of connections between final coalgebras as sources of circularity in mathematics and fractal sets of real numbers. In particular, we are interested in the Sierpinski carpet, taking it as a fractal subset of the unit…
A quantized version of the Sierpinski gasket is proposed, on purely topological grounds, as a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ with a suitable form of self-similarity. Several properties of $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ are studied, in particular…
We give conditions on a finitary endofunctor of a finitely accessible category to admit a final coalgebra. Our conditions always apply to the case of a finitary endofunctor of a locally finitely presentable (l.f.p.) category and they bring…
The rational fixed point of a set functor is well-known to capture the behaviour of finite coalgebras. In this paper we consider functors on algebraic categories. For them the rational fixed point may no longer be fully abstract, i.e. a…
Aim of this note is to study the infinity Laplace operator and the corresponding Absolutely Minimizing Lipschitz Extension problem on the Sierpinski gasket in the spirit of the classical construction of Kigami for the Laplacian. We…
Some families of graphs, such as the n-cubes and Sierpinski gaskets, are self-similar. In this paper we show how such recursive structure can be used systematically to prove isoperimetric theorems.
We prove that the Sierpi\'nski gasket is non-removable for quasiconformal maps, thus answering a question of Bishop. The proof involves a new technique of constructing an exceptional homeomorphism from $\mathbb R^2$ into some non-planar…
This thesis is about local and non-local Dirichlet forms on the Sierpi\'nski gasket and the Sierpi\'nski carpet. We are concerned with the following three problems in analysis on the Sierpi\'nski gasket and the Sierpi\'nski carpet. First, a…
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…
The paper uses the formalism of indexed categories to recover the proof of a standard final coalgebra theorem, thus showing existence of final coalgebras for a special class of functors on categories with finite limits and colimits. As an…
We construct a self-similar local regular Dirichlet form on the Sierpi\'nski gasket using $\Gamma$-convergence of stable-like non-local closed forms. As a continuation of a recent paper by Grigor'yan and the author, we give the first…
Self-similar groups provide a rich source of groups with interesting properties; e.g., infinite torsion groups (Burnside groups) and groups with an intermediate word growth. Various self-similar groups can be described by a recursive…
A number of categories is presented that are algebraically complete and cocomplete, i.e., every endofunctor has an initial algebra and a terminal coalgebra. For all finitary (and, more generally, all precontinuous) set functors the initial…

Motivated by the study of attractors in the Kuramoto model (KM) on graphs approximating the Sierpinski gasket (SG), we revisit the problem of harmonic maps (HMs) from SG to the circle, first considered by Strichartz. We provide a geometric…
We give a mathematically rigorous construction of a magnetic Schr\"odinger operator corresponding to a field with flux through finitely many holes of the Sierpinski Gasket. The operator is shown to have discrete spectrum accumulating at…
We prove that every finitary polynomial endofunctor of a category $C$ has a final coalgebra if $C$ is locally Cartesian closed, has finite disjoint coproducts and a natural number object. More generally, we prove that the category of…
Under certain continuity conditions, we estimate upper and lower box dimension of graph of a function defined on the Sierpinski gasket. We also give an upper bound for Hausdorff dimension and box dimension of graph of function having finite…
