It is well-known that stochastic processes on fractal spaces or in certain random media exhibit anomalous heat kernel behaviour. One manifestation of such irregular behaviour is the presence of fluctuations in the short- or long-time…
In this article, we show that $\alpha$-fractal functions defined on Sierpi\'nski gasket (denoted by $\triangle$) depend continuously on the parameters involved in the construction. In the latter part of this article, the continuous…
This paper gives the pointwise H\"older (or multifractal) spectrum of continuous functions on the interval $[0,1]$ whose graph is the attractor of an iterated function system consisting of $r\geq 2$ affine maps on $\mathbb{R}^2$. These…
This text is a commentary on the paper "On some ideals of differentiable functions" of Ren{\'e} Thom which appeared in Volume II of his "Oeuvres Math{\'e}matiques" published by the Soci{\'e}t{\'e} math{\'e}matique de France, s{\'e}rie…
This chapter deals with error and uncertainty in data. Treats their measuring methods and meaning. It shows that uncertainty is a natural property of many data sets. Uncertainty is fundamental for the survival os living species, Uncertainty…
Based on the well-known Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) for time series, in this work we describe a DFA for continuous real variable functions. Under certain conditions, DFA accurately predicts the long-term auto-correlation of the…
A novel method for constructing a nonlinear fractal histopolation function associated with a given histogram is introduced in this paper. In contrast to classical fractal interpolation methods, which produce continuous and interpolatory…
The spectral zeta function of the Laplacian on self-similar fractal sets has been previously studied and shown to meromorphically extend to the complex plane. In this work we establish under certain conditions a relationship between the…
Fluctuations in the return time statistics of a dynamical system can be described by a new spectrum of dimensions. Comparison with the usual multifractal analysis of measures is presented, and difference between the two corresponding sets…
The human brain has been studied at multiple scales, from neurons, circuits, areas with well defined anatomical and functional boundaries, to large-scale functional networks which mediate coherent cognition. In a recent work, we addressed…
This article presents a reformulation of the Theory of Functional Connections: a general methodology for functional interpolation that can embed a set of user-specified linear constraints. The reformulation presented in this paper exploits…
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.
Rigorous mathematical foundations of density functional theory are revisited, with some use of infinitesimal (nonstandard) methods. A thorough treatment is given of basic properties of internal energy and ground-state energy functionals…
In this article, we study exponents which preserve complete monotonicity of functions on lattices. We prove that for any completely monotone function $f$ on a finite lattice, $f^\alpha$ is completely monotone for all $\alpha\geq c$, where…
Recently, the first author has extended the definition of the zeta function associated with fractal strings to arbitrary bounded subsets $A$ of the $N$-dimensional Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^N$, for any integer $N\ge1$. It is defined by…
We forge connections between the theory of fractal sets obtained as attractors of iterated function systems and process calculi. To this end, we reinterpret Milner's expressions for processes as contraction operators on a complete metric…
We study the topological dynamics by iterations of a piecewise continuous, non linear and locally contractive map in a real finite dimensional compact ball. We consider those maps satisfying the "separation property": different continuity…
This paper presents a new foundational approach to information theory based on the concept of the information efficiency of a recursive function, which is defined as the difference between the information in the input and the output. The…
We study a fine hierarchy of Borel-piecewise continuous functions, especially, between closed-piecewise continuity and $G_\delta$-piecewise continuity. Our aim is to understand how a priority argument in computability theory is connected to…
The question of a possible excitation and emergence of fractional type dynamics, as a more realistic framework for understanding emergence of complex systems, directly from a conventional integral order dynamics, in the form a continuous…
