In this article a collection of random self-similar fractal dendrites is constructed, and their Hausdorff dimension is calculated. Previous results determining this quantity for random self-similar structures have relied on geometrical…
In $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation on the vertex set of a graph $G$, a set $A$ of initially infected vertices spreads by infecting, at each time step, all uninfected vertices with at least $r$ previously infected neighbors. When the…
We study Mandelbrot's percolation process in dimension $d \geq 2$. The process generates random fractal sets by an iterative procedure which starts by dividing the unit cube $[0,1]^d$ in $N^d$ subcubes, and independently retaining or…
We define an inhomogeneous percolation model on "ladder graphs" obtained as direct products of an arbitrary graph $G = (V,E)$ and the set of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ (vertices are thought of as having a "vertical" component indexed by an…
Let $F\subseteq [0,1]^2$ be a Bedford-McMullen carpet defined by exponents $m>n$, that projects to $[0,1]$ on the $y$-axis. We show that under mild conditions on $F$, there are many non principle lines $\ell$ such that $\dim^* F\cap \ell =…
We prove that with high probability $G(n,p)$ with $p \geq n^{-4/11 + o(1)}$ admits a fractional triangle decomposition (FTD), i.e., a nonnegative weighting of its triangles such that for each edge, the total weight of the triangles…
We study both numerically and analytically what happens to a random graph of average connectivity "alpha" when its leaves and their neighbors are removed iteratively up to the point when no leaf remains. The remnant is made of isolated…
In r-neighbour bootstrap percolation on a graph G, a set of initially infected vertices A \subset V(G) is chosen independently at random, with density p, and new vertices are subsequently infected if they have at least r infected…
Let $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ be a Bedford-McMullen carpet defined by multiplicatively independent exponents, and suppose that either $F$ is not a product set, or it is a product set with marginals of dimension strictly between $0$ and…
We study the convergence of the parameter family of series $$V_{\alpha,\beta}(t)=\sum_{p}p^{-\alpha}\exp(2\pi i p^{\beta}t),\quad \alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{R}_{>0},\; t \in [0,1)$$ defined over prime numbers $p$, and subsequently, their…
In this paper, we present high-level overviews of tile-based self-assembling systems capable of producing complex, infinite, aperiodic structures known as discrete self-similar fractals. Fractals have a variety of interesting mathematical…
Given an integer $n\geq 2$ and a digit set ${\mathcal D}\subsetneq {0,1,...,n-1}^2$, there is a self-similar set $F \subset {\Bbb R}^2$ satisfying the set equation: $F=(F+{\mathcal D})/n$. We call such $F$ a fractal square. By studying a…
We consider a directed percolation process on an ${\cal M}$ x ${\cal N}$ rectangular lattice whose vertical edges are directed upward with an occupation probability y and horizontal edges directed toward the right with occupation…
Let $F(N,m)$ denote a random forest on a set of $N$ vertices, chosen uniformly from all forests with $m$ edges. Let $F(N,p)$ denote the forest obtained by conditioning the Erdos-Renyi graph $G(N,p)$ to be acyclic. We describe scaling limits…
We consider the supercritical finite-range random connection model where the points $x,y$ of a homogeneous planar Poisson process are connected with probability $f(|y-x|)$ for a given $f$. Performing percolation on the resulting graph, we…
We study asymptotic percolation as $N\to \infty$ in an infinite random graph ${\cal G}_N$ embedded in the hierarchical group of order $N$, with connection probabilities depending on an ultrametric distance between vertices. ${\cal G}_N$ is…
On a locally finite, infinite tree $T$, let $p_c(T)$ denote the critical probability for Bernoulli percolation. We prove that every positively associated, finite-range dependent percolation model on $T$ with marginals $p > p_c(T)$ must…
Homogeneous random fractals form a probabilistic extension of self-similar sets with more dependencies than in random recursive constructions. For such random fractals we consider mean values of the Lipschitz-Killing curvatures of their…
There are various notions of dimension in fractal geometry to characterise (random and non-random) subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. In this expository text, we discuss their analogues for infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z^d$ and, more generally, for…
In this work we investigate a bootstrap percolation process on random graphs generated by a random graph model which combines preferential attachment and edge insertion between previously existing vertices. The probabilities of adding…
