We give two results about Harnack type inequalities. First, on compact smooth Riemannian surface without boundary, we have an estimate of the type $\sup +\inf$. The second result concerns the solutions of prescribed scalar curvature…

In 1988 K. Falconer introduced a formula which predicts the value of the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor of an affine iterated function system. The value given by this formula -- sometimes referred to as the affinity dimension -- is…

We generalize [Vav] to give sufficient conditions, primarily on coarse geometry, to ensure that a subset of a Cayley graph is a finite Hausdorff distance from a subgroup. Using this result, we prove a partial converse to the Flat Torus…

We show that for the attractor $(K_{1},\dots,K_{q})$ of a graph directed iterated function system, for each $1\leq j\leq q$ and $\varepsilon>0$ there exits a self-similar set $K\subseteq K_{j}$ that satisfies the strong separation condition…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and $V:M\to \mathbb R$ a smooth function. Denote by $P_t$ and ${\rm d}\mu=e^V\,{\rm d} x$ the semigroup and symmetric measure of the second order differential operator…

In this paper we develop a new approach for studying overlapping iterated function systems. This approach is inspired by a famous result due to Khintchine from Diophantine approximation. This result shows that for a family of limsup sets,…

The attractors of iterated function systems are usually obtained as the Hausdorff limit of any non-empty compact subset under iteration. In this note we show that an iterated function system on a boundedly compact metric space has compact,…
