In this paper we develop a new approach for studying overlapping iterated function systems. This approach is inspired by a famous result due to Khintchine from Diophantine approximation. This result shows that for a family of limsup sets,…

We study polynomial families {f_n(x)}_{n>=0} over a commutative ring R encoded by triangular arrays of order m, via expansions of the form f_n(x)=sum_{b=0}^{floor(n/m)} lambda_1(n,b) x^{n-mb}, where lambda_1 is the direct kernel supported…

We study conformal iterated function systems (IFS) $\mathcal S = \{\phi_i\}_{i \in I}$ with arbitrary overlaps, and measures $\mu$ on limit sets $\Lambda$, which are projections of equilibrium measures $\hat \mu$ with respect to a certain…

We study the attractor of Iterated Function Systems composed of infinitely many affine, homogeneous maps. In the special case of second generation IFS, defined herein, we conjecture that the attractor consists of a finite number of…

In this article, the dynamics of a one-parameter family of functions $f_{\lambda}(z) = \frac{\sin{z}}{z^2 + \lambda},$ $\lambda>0$, are studied. It shows the existence of parameters $0< \lambda_{1}< \lambda_{2}$ such that bifurcations occur…

We show that for the attractor $(K_{1},\dots,K_{q})$ of a graph directed iterated function system, for each $1\leq j\leq q$ and $\varepsilon>0$ there exits a self-similar set $K\subseteq K_{j}$ that satisfies the strong separation condition…

Let $M$ be a $2\times2$ real matrix with both eigenvalues less than~1 in modulus. Consider two self-affine contraction maps from $\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R^2$, \begin{equation*} T_m(v) = M v - u \ \ \mathrm{and}\ \ T_p(v) = M v + u,…

We study the question of whether for each n there is another integer m with lambda(m)=lambda(n), where lambda is Carmichael's function. We give a "near" proof of the fact that this is the case unconditionally, and a complete conditional…

It is known that if the underlying iterated function system satisfies the open set condition, then the upper box dimension of an inhomogeneous self-similar set is the maximum of the upper box dimensions of the homogeneous counterpart and…

In this paper we consider the long-term behavior of points in ${\mathbb R}$ under iterations of continuous functions. We show that, given any Cantor set $\Lambda^*$ embedded in ${\mathbb R}$, there exists a continuous function $F^*:{\mathbb…

A lower semi-definite self-adjoint linear operator in a Hilbert space is taken whose discrete spectrum is not empty and comprises at least several eigenvalues $\lambda_{min}=\lambda_1\leqslant\ldots\leqslant\lambda_m<\sigma_{ess}$. The…

We consider the "Mandelbrot set" $M$ for pairs of complex linear maps, introduced by Barnsley and Harrington in 1985 and studied by Bousch, Bandt and others. It is defined as the set of parameters $\lambda$ in the unit disk such that the…

We give a construction of a self-similar tiling of the plane with any prescribed expansion coefficient $\lambda\in\C$ (satisfying the necessary algebraic condition of being a complex Perron number). For any integer $m>1$ we show that there…

The top of the attractor $A$ of a hyperbolic iterated function system $\left\{ f_{i}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{n}|i=1,2,\dots,M\right\} $ is defined and used to extend self-similar tilings to overlapping systems. The theory…

We construct an example of an iterated function system on the line, consisting of linear fractional transformations, such that two of the maps share a fixed points, but the dimension of the attractor equals the conformal dimension, so that…

We study self-similar attractors in the space $\mathbb{R}^d$, i.e., self-similar compact sets defined by several affine operators with the same linear part. The special case of attractors when the matrix $M$ of the linear part of affine…

For an integer $m\geq 1$, a combinatorial manifold $\widetilde{M}$ is defined to be a geometrical object $\widetilde{M}$ such that for $\forall p\in\widetilde{M}$, there is a local chart $(U_p,\phi_p)$ enable $\phi_p:U_p\to…

Given a self-similar set $\Lambda$ that is the attractor of an iterated function system (IFS) $\{f_1,\dots,f_N\}$, consider the following method for constructing a random subset of $\Lambda$: Let $\mathbf{p}=(p_1,\dots,p_N)$ be a…

In this note, we continue to highlight some applications of Theorem 1 of [3]. Here is a sample: Let $X$ be an open set in ${\bf C}^n$, $\Omega$ an open convex set in ${\bf C}$ and $f, g : X\to {\bf C}$ two holomorphic functions such that…
