A fractal method to detect, locate and quantify chaos in multi-dimensional-conservative-closed systems, based on the creation of artificial exits, is presented. The method is invariant under space-time changes of coordinates and can be used…
This application-oriented study concerns computational musicology, which makes use of grammar systems. We define multi-generative rule-synchronized scattered-context grammar systems (without erasing rules) and demonstrates how to…
Small-angle scattering (SAS) of X-rays, neutrons or light from ensembles of randomly oriented and placed deterministic fractal structures are studied theoretically. In the standard analysis, a very few parameters can be determined from SAS…
Fractals -- objects with non-integer dimensions -- occur in manifold settings and length scales in nature, ranging from snowflakes and lightning strikes to natural coastlines. Much effort has been expended to generate fractals for use in…
The local theory of complex dimensions for real and $p$-adic fractal strings describes oscillations that are intrinsic to the geometry, dynamics and spectrum of archimedean and nonarchimedean fractal strings. We aim to develop a global…
This chapter reviews theoretical work on the stellar dynamics of galaxy disks. All the known collective global instabilities are identified, and their mechanisms described in terms of local wave mechanics. A detailed discussion of warps and…
Fractal is an intriguing geometry with self-similarity and non-integer dimensions, the elastic-wave topological phase based on fractal structures has not been revealed up to now. In this work, elastic-wave higher-order topological states in…
We study the stability and roughness of propagating cracks in heterogeneous brittle two-dimensional elastic materials. We begin by deriving an equation of motion describing the dynamics of such a crack in the framework of Linear Elastic…
Small-angle scattering (SAS) data which show a succession of power-law decays with decreasing values of scattering exponents, can be described in terms of fractal structures with positive Lebesgue measure (fat fractals). In this work we…
We discuss a variation of Takagi curves based, however, more on algebraic than geometric principles. Namely, we construct functions of loops in a special binary representation. The graph of these functions usually has chaotic and fractal…
Understanding material composition-structure-function relationships is of critical importance for the design and discovery of novel functional materials. While most such studies focus on individual materials, we conducted a global mapping…
We propose a novel stochastic network model, called Fractal Gaussian Network (FGN), that embodies well-defined and analytically tractable fractal structures. Such fractal structures have been empirically observed in diverse applications.…
This Ph.D. thesis collects results obtained investigating two different aspects of modern unifying theories. In the first part I summarized results achieved investigating simplicial aspects of string dualities. Exploiting Boundary Conformal…
Cohesive particles form agglomerates that are usually very porous. Their geometry, particularly their fractal dimension, depends on the agglomeration process (diffusion-limited or ballistic growth by adding single particles or…
An abstract mathematical concept of fractal organization of certain complex objects received significant attention in astrophysics during last decades. The concept evolved into a broad field including multi-fractality and intermittency,…
We develop a new definition of fractals which can be considered as an abstraction of the fractals determined through self-similarity. The definition is formulated through imposing conditions which are governed the relation between the…
Fractal structures emerge from statistical and hierarchical processes in urban development or network evolution. In a class of efficient and robust geographical networks, we derive the size distribution of layered areas, and estimate the…
Fractons are a new type of quasiparticle which are immobile in isolation, but can often move by forming bound states. Fractons are found in a variety of physical settings, such as spin liquids and elasticity theory, and exhibit unusual…
We consider a special type of self-similar sets, called fractal squares, and give a brief review on recent results and unsolved issues with an emphasis on their topological properties.
This paper discusses some topics of enquiry concerning fractals, functions on them, and so on.
