In this paper, we study the Favard length of some random Cantor sets of Hausdorff dimension 1. We start with a unit disk in the plane and replace the unit disk by $4$ disjoint subdisks (with equal distance to each other) of radius $1/4$…

We improve a special case of the Lam-Leung lower bound on the number of elements in a vanishing sum of $N$-th roots of unity. Using this result, we extend the Favard length estimates due to Bond, {\L}aba, and Volberg to a new class of…

In this article, we consider the concept of the decay of the Favard length of $\varepsilon$-neighborhoods of purely unrectifiable sets. We construct non-self-similar Cantor sets for which the Favard length decays arbitrarily with respect to…

In this paper we get an estimate of Favard length of an arbitrary neighbourhood of an arbitrary self-similar Cantor set. Consider $L$ closed disjoint discs of radius $1/L$ inside the unit disc. By using linear maps of smaller disc onto the…

We show that for a large class of planar $1$-dimensional random fractals $S$, the Favard length $\operatorname{Fav}(S(r))$ of the neighborhood $S(r)$ is comparable to $\log^{-1}(1/r)$, matching a universal lower bound; up to now, this was…

Given a set in the plane, the average length of its projections over all directions is called Favard length. This quantity measures the size of a set, and is closely related to metric and geometric properties of the set such as…

Let $C_n$ be the $n$-th generation in the construction of the middle-half Cantor set. The Cartesian square $K_n$ of $C_n$ consists of $4^n$ squares of side-length $4^{-n}$. The chance that a long needle thrown at random in the unit square…

This paper develops further and systematically the asymptotic expansion theory that was initiated by Foias and Saut in [11]. We study the long-time dynamics of a large class of dissipative systems of nonlinear ordinary differential…

The Favard length of a subset of the plane is defined as the average of its orthogonal projections. This quantity is related to the probabilistic Buffon needle problem; that is, the Favard length of a set is proportional to the probability…

In a previous paper an asymptotic expansion for lambda_d in powers of 1/d was developed. The results of computer computations for some terms in the expansion, as well as various quantities associated to the expansion, are herein presented.…

We continue our investigation of the fractal uncertainty principle (FUP) for random fractal sets. In the prequel (arXiv:2107.08276), we considered the Cantor sets in the discrete setting with alphabets randomly chosen from a base of digits…

The dimer problem arose in a thermodynamic study of diatomic molecules, and was abstracted into one of the most basic and natural problems in both statistical mechanics and combinatoric mathematics. Given a rectangular lattice of volume V…

Let $f \in \mathbb{Z}[y]$ be a polynomial such that $f(\mathbb{N}) \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, and let $p_{\mathcal{A}_{f}}(n)$ denote number of partitions of $n$ whose parts lie in the set $\mathcal{A}_f:=\{f(n):n \in \mathbb{N}\}$. Under…

In 2013, Sun conjectured that the partition function $p(n)$ is never a perfect power for $n \geq 2$. Building on this, Merca, Ono, and Tsai recently observed that for any fixed integers $d \geq 0$ and $k \geq 2$, there appear to be only…

Let $\MP_d$ denote the space of polynomials $f: \C \to \C$ of degree $d\geq 2$, modulo conjugation by $\Aut(\C)$. Using properties of polynomial trees (as introduced in [DM, math.DS/0608759]), we show that if $f_n$ is a divergent sequence…
