We use the self-similar tilings constructed by the second author in "Canonical self-affine tilings by iterated function systems" to define a generating function for the geometry of a self-similar set in Euclidean space. This tubular zeta…
Tube formulas refer to the study of volumes of $r$ neighbourhoods of sets. For sets satisfying some (possible very weak) convexity conditions, this has a long history. However, within the past 20 years Lapidus has initiated and pioneered a…
We establish pointwise and distributional fractal tube formulas for a large class of compact subsets of Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimensions. These formulas are expressed as sums of residues of suitable meromorphic functions over the…
In this work, we provide a treatment of scaling functional equations in a general setting involving fractals arising from sufficiently nice self-similar systems in order to analyze the tube functions, tube zeta functions, and complex…
We establish pointwise and distributional fractal tube formulas for a large class of relative fractal drums in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimensions. A relative fractal drum (or RFD, in short) is an ordered pair $(A,\Omega)$ of subsets…
We give several different geometric characterizations of the situation in which the parallel set $F_\epsilon$ of a self-similar set $F$ can be described by the inner $\epsilon$-parallel set $T_{-\epsilon}$ of the associated canonical tiling…
Given an isometry invariant valuation on a complex space form we compute its value on the tubes of sufficiently small radii around a set of positive reach. This generalizes classical formulas of Weyl, Gray and others about the volume of…
A formula for the interior epsilon-neighborhood of the classical von Koch snowflake curve is computed in detail. This function of epsilon is shown to match quite closely with earlier predictions of what it should be, but is also much more…
In this paper, we present a new explicit formula for the curvatures of a regular curve with an arbitrary parameter in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, expressed only in terms of its derivatives. We introduce also the notion of…
In this work, we examine the relationship between geometry and spectrum of regions with fractal boundary. The relationship is well-understood for fractal harps in one dimension, but largely open for fractal drums in larger dimensions. To…
A famous theorem of Weyl states that if $M$ is a compact submanifold of euclidean space, then the volumes of small tubes about $M$ are given by a polynomial in the radius $r$, with coefficients that are expressible as integrals of certain…
In a previous paper by the first two authors, a tube formula for fractal sprays was obtained which also applies to a certain class of self-similar fractals. The proof of this formula uses distributional techniques and requires fairly strong…
The authors showed in a preceding paper that in a connected locally harmonic manifold, the volume of a tube of small radius about a regularly parameterized simple arc depends only on the length of the arc and the radius. In this paper, we…
For a large class of self-similar sets F in R^d analogues of the higher order mean curvatures of differentiable submanifolds are introduced, in particular, the fractal Gauss-type curvature. They are shown to be the densities of associated…
We give a very simple approach to the computation of tube volumes of self-similar sprays using a functional equation satisfied by them.
A thin tube is an $n$-dimensional space which is very thin in $n-1$ directions, compared to the remaining direction, for example the $\epsilon$-neighborhood of a curve or an embedded graph in $\R^n$ for small $\epsilon$. The Laplacian on…
In some recent work, fractal curvatures C^f_k(F) and fractal curvature measures C^f_k(F, .), k = 0, ..., d, have been determined for all self-similar sets F in R^d, for which the parallel neighborhoods satisfy a certain regularity condition…
We give a direct, pointwise proof for the tube formula of Lapidus-Pearse for self-similar fractals, where we allow non-convex, non-Steiner-like generators.
The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a…
We classify the self-similar solutions to a class of Weingarten curvature flow of connected compact convex hypersurfaces, isometrically immersed into space forms with non-positive curvature, and obtain a new characterization of a sphere in…
