Some results on the multiplier conjecture for the casen=5n 1

Using the method presented in [1], we obtain some new results which improve on the result of MacFarland's theorem (see [2]) in this case.     

Algorithm for determining pure pointedness of self-affine tilings

Overlap coincidence in a self-affine tiling in Rd is equivalent to pure point dynamical spectrum of the tiling dynamical system. We interpret the overlap coincidence in the setting of substitution Delone set in Rd and find an efficient algorithm to check the pure point dynamical spectrum. This algorithm is easy to implement into a computer program. We give the program and apply it to several examples. In the course of the proof of the algorithm, we show a variant of the conjecture of Urbański (Solomyak (2006) [40]) on the Hausdorff dimension of the boundaries of fractal tiles.     

Some applications of Cartan's theorem to normality and semiduality of gap power series

In this paper we give partial solutions to some questions concerning analytic functions with AP-Gaps raised by Pinto, Ruscheweyh and Salinas (cf. [9], [12]) using a theorem of H. Cartan which extends Montel's theorem on analytic functions omitting the values 0 and 1. Using the same method, we also prove a generalization of a theorem in [9] on the dual hull of sets containing two elements.     

Dimension spectra of self-affine sets

The dimension spectrumH(δ) is a function characterizing the distribution of dimension of sections. Using the multifractal formula for sofic measures, we show that the dimension spectra of irreducible self-affine sets (McMullen’s Carpet) coincide with the modified Legendre transform of the free energy Ψ_d(β). This variational relation leads to the formula of Hausdorff dimension of self-affine sets, max(δ +H(δ)) = Ψ_d(η), whereη is the logarithmic ratio of the contraction rates of the affine maps.     

Dimensions of the coordinate functions of space-filling curves

The graphs of coordinate functions of space-filling curves such as those described by Peano, Hilbert, Pólya and others, are typical examples of self-affine sets, and their Hausdorff dimensions have been the subject of several articles in the mathematical literature. In the first half of this paper, we describe how the study of dimensions of self-affine sets was motivated, at least in part, by these coordinate functions and their natural generalizations, and review the relevant literature. In the second part, we present new results on the coordinate functions of Pólya's one-parameter family of space-filling curves. We give a lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension of their graphs which is fairly close to the box-counting dimension. Our techniques are largely probabilistic. The fact that the exact dimension remains elusive seems to indicate the need for further work in the area of self-affine sets.     

DIMENSIONS OF SELF-AFFINE SETS WITH OVERLAPS

The authors develop an algorithm to show that a class of self-affine sets with overlaps canbe viewed as sofic affine-invariant sets without overlaps,thus by using the results of [11]and[10],the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions are determined.     

Continuous dependence on parameters of certain self-affine measures,and their singularity

In this paper, we first prove that the self-affine sets depend continuously on the expanding matrix and the digit set, and the corresponding self-affine measures with respect to the probability weight behave in much the same way. Moreover, we obtain some sufficient conditions for certain self-affine measures to be singular.     

Some remarks on the representation theorem of moisil

In this paper, using the representation theorem of Moisil (see [2]) the author introduces and examines the concept of representability of Lukasiewicz algebras. The results and notations used are from [1], [2].     

Spectrality of a class of self-affine measures with decomposable digit sets

The self-affine measure associated with an expanding matrix and a finite digit set is uniquely determined by the self-affine identity with equal weight.The spectral and non-spectral problems on the selfaffine measures have some surprising connections with a number of areas in mathematics,and have been received much attention in recent years.In the present paper,we shall determine the spectrality and non-spectrality of a class of self-affine measures with decomposable digit sets.We present a method to deal with such case,and clarify the spectrality and non-spectrality of a class of self-affine measures by applying this method.     

Fractional differentiation in the self-affine case. IV — random measures

The concept of fractional differentiation of stochastic processes introduced in Part I is translated to fractional densities of random measures. Thereby we consider self-affine random measures in the constructive and the axiomatic sense. Occupation measures and local time measures of self-affine random fields are special examples.     

Singularity of certain self-affine measures

The self-affine measure associated with an iterated function system and a weight is uniquely determined. The problem of determining whether a self-affine measure is absolutely continuous or singular has been studied extensively in recent years. In the present paper we consider the singularity of certain self-affine measures. We obtain a sufficient condition for such measures being singular. Two applications of this result are given, which extend several known results in a simple manner.     

The geometry of Whitney’s critical sets

In this paper, the complete geometric characterizations, including decomposition and compression theorems, are obtained for a connected and compact set to be a critical set in Whitney’s sense, i.e., a set such that there exists a differentiable function critical but not constant on it. The problem to characterize these sets geometrically was posed by H. Whitney [21] in 1935. We also provide a complete geometrical characterization for monotone Whitney arc, i.e., there exists a differentiable function critical but also increasing along the arc. All examples appearing in the literature are monotone Whitney arcs, for example, the examples by Whitney [21] and Besicovitch [2], Norton’s t-quasi-arcs with Hausdorff dimension > t [14], and self-similar arcs [19]. Furthermore, after introducing the notion of homogeneous Moran arc, we can completely characterize all the monotone Whitney arcs of criticality > 1, which include t-quasi arcs and self-conformal arcs. Some applications to arcs which are attractors of Iterated Function Systems are discussed, including self-conformal arcs, self-similar arcs and self-affine arcs. Finally, we give an example of critical arc such that any of its subarcs fails to be a t-quasi-arc for any t, providing an affirmative answer to an open question by Norton.     

Non-conformal Repellers and the Continuity of Pressure for Matrix Cocycles

The pressure function P(A, s) plays a fundamental role in the calculation of the dimension of “typical” self-affine sets, where A = (A ₁, …,A _k ) is the family of linear mappings in the corresponding generating iterated function system. We prove that this function depends continuously on A. As a consequence, we show that the dimension of “typical” self-affine sets is a continuous function of the defining maps. This resolves a folklore open problem in the community of fractal geometry. Furthermore we extend the continuity result to more general sub-additive pressure functions generated by the norm of matrix products or generalized singular value functions for matrix cocycles, and obtain applications on the continuity of equilibrium measures and the Lyapunov spectrum of matrix cocycles.     

A note on the quantization for probability measures with respect to the geometric mean error

We study the quantization with respect to the geometric mean error for probability measures μ on for which there exist some constants C, η > 0 such that for all ε > 0 and all . For such measures μ, we prove that the upper quantization dimension of μ is bounded from above by its upper packing dimension and the lower one is bounded from below by its lower Hausdorff dimension. This enables us to calculate the quantization dimension for a large class of probability measures which have nice local behavior, including the self-affine measures on general Sierpiński carpets and self-conformal measures. Moreover, based on our previous work, we prove that the upper and lower quantization coefficient for a self-conformal measure are both positive and finite.     

Gorenstein gr-injective modules over graded isolated singularities

Graded isolated singularities appear very naturally in algebraic pro-jcctive geometry (cf. [18]) or invariant theory of the binary polyhedral groups (cf. [15], [17]). We define mock finitely generated modules in the category of graded modules and we use such graded modules which are also Gorenstein injective (cf. [1], [2]) in this category to characterize graded isolated Gorenstein singularities.     

Spectrality of planar self-affine measures with two-element digit set

The iterated function system with two element digit set is the simplest case and the most important case in the study of self affine measures.The one dimensional case corresponds to the Bernoulli convolution whose spectral property is understandable.The higher dimensional analogue is not known,for which two conjectures about the spectrality and the non spectrality remain open.In the present paper,we consider the spectrality and non spectrality of planar self affine measures with two element digit set.We give a method to deal with the two dimensional case,and clarify the spectrality and non spectrality of a class of planar self affine measures.The result here provides some supportive evidence to the two related conjectures.     

A lower bound for Hausdorff dimensions of harmonic measures on negatively curved manifolds

Employing the methods of [KL], a lower bound for Hausdorff dimension of harmonic measures on negatively curved manifolds is derived yielding, in particular, that if the curvature tends to a constant then the above Hausdorff dimension tends to the dimension of the sphere at infinity. Supported by U.S.-Israel BSF.     

Graphs of small dimensions

LetG=(V, E) be a graph withn vertices. The direct product dimension pdim (G) (c.f. [10], [12]) is the minimum numbert such thatG can be embedded into a product oft copies of complete graphsK _n.In [10], Lovász, Neetil and Pultr determined the direct product dimension of matchings and paths and gave sharp bounds for the product dimension of cycles, all logarithmic in the number of vertices.     

The probability distribution and Hausdorff dimension of self-affine functions

Summary A simple natural measure is found with respect to which the probability distribution of a continuous self-affine functionf in the sense of Kôno is absolutely continuous. As an immediate corollary we obtain the result of Kôno that provides a necessary and sufficient condition for this distribution to be absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. For the class of continuous self-affine functions one proves the conjecture of T. Bedford which says in this context that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph off is equal to its box dimension if and only if the probability distribution off is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure.
