Combining Multifractal Additive and Multiplicative Chaos

The purpose of this article is the study of the new class of multifractal measures, which combines additive and multiplicative chaos, defined bywhere is any positive Borel measure on [0,1] and b is an integer 2. The singularities analysis of the measures _, involves new results on the mass distribution of when describes large classes of multifractal measures. These results generalize ubiquity theorems associated with the Lebesgue measure.Under suitable assumptions on , the multifractal spectrum of _, is linear on [0,h_, ] for some critical value h_, . Then is strictly concave on the right of h_, , and on this part it is deduced from the multifractal spectrum of by an affine transformation. This untypical shape is the result of the combination between Dirac masses and atomless multifractal measures. These measures satisfy multifractal formalisms. They open interesting perspectives in modeling discontinuous phenomena.     

Multifractal Analysis of Hyperbolic Flows

We establish the multifractal analysis of hyperbolic flows and of suspension flows over subshifts of finite type. A non-trivial consequence of our results is that for every H?lder continuous function non-cohomologous to a constant, the set of points without Birkhoff average has full topological entropy.

Multifractal Analysis of Complex Random Cascades

We achieve the multifractal analysis of a class of complex valued statistically self-similar continuous functions. For we use multifractal formalisms associated with pointwise oscillation exponents of all orders. Our study exhibits new phenomena in multifractal analysis of continuous functions. In particular, we find examples of statistically self-similar such functions obeying the multifractal formalism and for which the support of the singularity spectrum is the whole interval [0, ∞].     

Multifractal Analysis of Inhomogeneous Bernoulli Products

We are interested to the multifractal analysis of inhomogeneous Bernoulli products which are also known as coin tossing measures. We give conditions ensuring the validity of the multifractal formalism for such measures. On another hand, we show that these measures can have a dense set of phase transitions.     

Multifractal Analysis of Human Heartbeat in Sleep

We study the dynamical properties of heart rate variability （HRV） in sleep by analysing the scaling behaviour with the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis method. It is well known that heart rate is regulated by the interaction of two branches of the autonomic nervous system： the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. By investigating the multifractal properties of light, deep, rapid-eye-movement （REM） sleep and wake stages, we firstly find an increasing multifractal behaviour during REM sleep which may be caused by augmented sympathetic activities relative to non-REM sleep. In addition, the investigation of long-range correlations of HRV in sleep with second order detrended fluctuation analysis presents irregular phenomena. These findings may be helpful to understand the underlying regulating mechanism of heart rate by autonomic nervous system during wake-sleep transitions.     

多重分形分析图象边缘提取算法

提出了一种基于多重分形分析的图象边缘提取算法,通过计算每个象素点的奇异值和多重分形谱,并根据多重分形谱的各种测度修正,提取出图象的边缘信息.在分析图象的各种象素点的多重分形谱特性的基础上,着重分析了多重分形谱常用的若干测度以及选取标准.该算法利用奇异性Hölder指数和多重分形谱以及它们组成的判据来进行图象边缘提取的思路不同于传统的基于梯度的局部极值点来进行图象边缘提取的方法.实验结果表明:该算法可以在保留重要边缘信息的情况下去除不重要细节,更能符合人的视觉心理.     

Multifractal Analysis for Lyapunov Exponents on Nonconformal Repellers

For nonconformal repellers satisfying a certain cone condition, we establish a version of multifractal analysis for the topological entropy of the level sets of the Lyapunov exponents. Due to the nonconformality, the Lyapunov exponents are averages of nonadditive sequences of potentials, and thus one cannot use Birkhoff’s ergodic theorem nor the classical thermodynamic formalism. We use instead a nonadditive topological pressure to characterize the topological entropy of each level set. This prevents us from estimating the complexity of the level sets using the classical Gibbs measures, which are often one of the main ingredients of multifractal analysis. Instead, we avoid even equilibrium measures, and thus in particular g-measures, by constructing explicitly ergodic measures, although not necessarily invariant, which play the corresponding role in our work.Supported by the Center for Mathematical Analysis, Geometry, and Dynamical Systems, through FCT by Program POCTI/FEDER and the grant SFRH/BPD/12108/2003.

油菜光谱的多重分形分析及叶绿素诊断建模

作物信息科学的重要内容是如何利用作物的信息对其进行无损营养诊断,光谱分析是一种有效可行的途径。对于油菜而言,冠层光谱的特征是描述其营养状况的重要指标。但由于原始光谱总是受到一些如环境、气候等外在因素的影响,其巨大的波动导致难以直接用于油菜生物量的诊断。然而,光谱的多重分形特征将保持相对稳定。为研究油菜冠层光谱与叶绿素含量的关系,基于多重分形理论,提出了基于油菜冠层光谱特征的叶绿素定量预测模型和定性识别模型。以24个移栽种植小区和24个直播种植小区的高油酸油菜苗期样本为试验对象。首先,利用流行的多重分形去趋势波动分析提取了6个不同波段范围内光谱的广义Hurst指数和质量指数及其他相关的特征参数,发现它们都呈现典型的多重分形特性。但两种不同种植方式下的光谱特征也存在差异。接着,通过多重分形特征参数与SPAD值的相关分析发现不同波段的光谱所含的有效信息不同。以多重分形特征参数建立单变量油菜叶片SPAD值预测模型,移栽方式、直播方式及混合样本的预测模型相对均方根误差均小于5%。最后,以多重分形特征组合建立识别模型,以Fisher线性判别法识别移栽和直播两种种植方式的最大约登指数为0.902 5,对应最敏感波段为350~1 350 nm。这项有意义的工作为预测油菜叶绿素提供了理论基础和实践方法,也为寻找敏感波段进行识别诊断提供了有效的途径。     

Review: Multifractal Analysis of Packed Swiss Cheese Cosmologies

The multifractal spectrum of various three-dimensional representations of Packed Swiss Cheese cosmologies in open, closed, and flat spaces are measured, and it is determined that the curvature of the space does not alter the associated fractal structure. These results are compared to observational data and simulated models of large scale galaxy clustering, to assess the viability of the PSC as a candidate for such structure formation. It is found that the PSC dimension spectra do not match those of observation, and possible solutions to this discrepancy are offered, including accounting for potential luminosity biasing effects. Various random and uniform sets are also analyzed to provide insight into the meaning of the multifractal spectrum as it relates to the observed scaling behaviors.     

Multifractal Analysis of Weak Gibbs Measures for Intermittent Systems

 In this paper, we establish a multifractal formalism of weak Gibbs measures associated to potentials of weak bounded variation for certain nonhyperbolic systems. We apply our results to Manneville-Pomeau type maps and a piecewise conformal two-dimensional countable Markov map with indifferent periodic points which is related to a complex continued fraction.

Multifractal Analysis of Local Entropies for Expansive Homeomorphisms with Specification

In the present paper we study the multifractal spectrum of local entropies. We obtain results, similar to those of the multifractal analysis of pointwise dimensions, but under much weaker assumptions on the dynamical systems. We assume our dynamical system to be defined by an expansive homeomorphism with the specification property. We establish the variational relation between the multifractal spectrum and other thermodynamical characteristics of the dynamical system, including the spectrum of correlation entropies.

On Multifractal Rigidity

We analyze when a multifractal spectrum can be used to recover the potential. This phenomenon is known as multifractal rigidity. We prove that for a certain class of potentials the multifractal spectrum of local entropies uniquely determines their equilibrium states. This leads to a classification which identifies two systems up to a change of variables.

Asymptotically abelian systems

We study pairs { , } for which is aC*-algebra and is a homomorphism of a locally compact, non-compact groupG into the group of *-automorphisms of . We examine, especially, those systems { , } which are (weakly) asymptotically abelian with respect to their invariant states (i.e. |A _g (B) — _g (B)A 0 asg for those states such that ( _g (A)) = (A) for allg inG andA in ). For concrete systems (those with -acting on a Hilbert space andg _g implemented by a unitary representationg U _g on this space) we prove, among other results, that the operators commuting with and {U _g } form a commuting family when there is a vector cyclic under and invariant under {U _g }. We characterize the extremal invariant states, in this case, in terms of weak clustering properties and also in terms of factor and irreducibility properties of { ,U _g }. Specializing to amenable groups, we describe operator means arising from invariant group means; and we study systems which are asymptotically abelian in mean. Our interest in these structures resides in their appearance in the infinite system approach to quantum statistical mechanics.     

Multifractal Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis of sunspot numbers and river flow fluctuations

We use the Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis (DCCA) to investigate the influence of sun activity represented by sunspot numbers on one of the climate indicators, specifically rivers, represented by river flow fluctuation for Daugava, Holston, Nolichucky and French Broad rivers. The Multifractal Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis (MF-DXA) shows that there exist some crossovers in the cross-correlation fluctuation function versus time scale of the river flow and sunspot series. One of these crossovers corresponds to the well-known cycle of solar activity demonstrating a universal property of the mentioned rivers. The scaling exponent given by DCCA for original series at intermediate time scale, , is λ=1.17±0.04 which is almost similar for all underlying rivers at 1σ confidence interval showing the second universal behavior of river runoffs. To remove the sinusoidal trends embedded in data sets, we apply the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method. Our results show that there exists a long-range cross-correlation between the sunspot numbers and the underlying streamflow records. The magnitude of the scaling exponent and the corresponding cross-correlation exponent are λ∈(0.76,0.85) and γ_×∈(0.30,0.48), respectively. Different values for scaling and cross-correlation exponents may be related to local and external factors such as topography, drainage network morphology, human activity and so on. Multifractal cross-correlation analysis demonstrates that all underlying fluctuations have almost weak multifractal nature which is also a universal property for data series. In addition the empirical relation between scaling exponent derived by DCCA and Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), is confirmed.     

Asymptotically isochronous systems

Abstract

Mechanisms are elucidated underlying the existence of dynamical systems whose generic solutions approach asymptotically (at large time) isochronous evolutions: all their dependent variables tend asymptotically to functions periodic with the same fixed period. We focus on two such mechanisms, emphasizing their generality and illustrating each of them via a representative example. The first example belongs to a recently discovered class of integrable indeed solvable many-body problems. The second example consists of a broad class of (generally nonintegrable) models obtained by deforming appropriately the well-known (integrable and isochronous) many-body problem with inverse-cube two-body forces and a one-body linear (“harmonic oscillator”) force.
