This chapter explores the notion of "dimension" of a set. Various power laws by which an Euclidean space can be characterized are used to define dimensions, which then explore different aspects of the set. Also discussed are the…
We will explore the nature of when certain finite groups have an equal covering, and when finite groups do not. Not to be confused with the concept of a cover group, a covering of a group is a collection of proper subgroups whose…
We demonstrate existence of a tile assembly system that self-assembles the statistically self-similar Sierpinski Triangle in the Winfree-Rothemund Tile Assembly Model. This appears to be the first paper that considers self-assembly of a…
We consider the numerical evaluation of a class of double integrals with respect to a pair of self-similar measures over a self-similar fractal set (the attractor of an iterated function system), with a weakly singular integrand of…
We study dynamical semigroups of positive, but not completely positive maps on finite-dimensional bipartite systems and analyze properties of their generators in relation to non-decomposability and bound-entanglement. An example of…
We extend Falconer's 1988 landmark result on the dimensions of self-affine fractals to encompass the dimensions of their projections, showing furthermore that their families of exceptional projections contain algebraic varieties which are…
We first present an overview of our previous work on the dynamics of subgroups of automorphism groups of compact complex surfaces, together with a selection of open problems and new classification results. Then, we study two families of…
Fractal geometry is the study of sets which exhibit the same pattern at multiple scales. Developing tools to study these sets is of great interest. One step towards developing some of these tools is recognizing the duality between…
Human social behavior is organized in stratified, hierarchical networks, with a support group with about 5 members, expanding proportionally at each layer up to a maximum of approximately 150 frequent interactions per individual. This is…
A near permutation of a set is a bijection between two cofinite subsets, modulo coincidence on smaller cofinite subsets. Near permutations of a set form its near symmetric group. In this monograph, we define near actions as homomorphisms…
We develop an axiomatic framework for fractal analysis and fractal number theory grounded in hierarchies of definability. Central to this approach is a sequence of formal systems F_n, each corresponding to a definability level S_n contained…
The motivation for this paper is to extend the known model theoretic treatment of differential Galois theory to the case of linear difference equations (where the derivative is replaced by an automorphism.) The model theoretic difficulties…
Motivated by intuitive properties of physical quantities, the notion of a non-anomalous semigroup is formulated. These are totally ordered semigroups where there are no `infinitesimally close' elements. The real numbers are then defined as…
We study the scaling scenery of Gibbs measures for subshifts of finite type on self-conformal fractals and applications to Falconer's distance set problem and dimensions of projections. Our analysis includes hyperbolic Julia sets, limit…
An overview of some basic notions is given, especially with an eye towards somewhat "fractal" examples, such as infinite products of cyclic groups, p-adic numbers, and solenoids.
In this paper we introduce the notion of dynamical systems over the class of the normed real nonassociative algebras not necessarily finite-dimensional, generalize the classical filled Julia and Mandelbrot sets over the complex numbers,…
We consider the dynamics associated with an arbitrary semigroup of transcendental entire functions. Fatou-Julia theory is used to investigate the dynamics of these semigroups. Several results of the dynamics associated with iteration of a…
Given strong local Dirichlet forms and $\mathbb{R}^N$-valued functions on a metrizable space, we introduce the concepts of geodesic distance and intrinsic distance on the basis of these objects. They are defined in a geometric and an…
This is Chapter 24 in the "AutoMathA" handbook. Finite automata have been used effectively in recent years to define infinite groups. The two main lines of research have as their most representative objects the class of automatic groups…
We introduce $C^*$-algebras associated with directed graphs, along with two generalizations of this concept, namely Exel-Pardo $C^*$-algebras associated with a self-similar action of a group on a directed graph, and the $C^*$-algebras…
