Wavelets on fractals and besov spaces

Wavelets on self-similar fractals are introduced. It is shown that for certain totally disconnected fractals, function spaces may be characterized by means of the magnitude of the wavelet coefficients of the functions.     

Weak Uncertainty Principles on Fractals

We use the analytic tools such as the energy, and the Laplacians defined by Kigami for a class of post-critically finite (pcf) fractals which includes the Sierpinski gasket (SG), to establish some uncertainty relations for functions defined on these fractals. Although the existence of localized eigenfunctions on some of these fractals precludes an uncertainty principle in the vein of Heisenberg’s inequality, we prove in this article that a function that is localized in space must have high energy, and hence have high frequency components. We also extend our result to functions defined on products of pcf fractals, thereby obtaining an uncertainty principle on a particular type of non-pcf fractal.     

Products of random matrices and derivatives on p.c.f. fractals

We define and study intrinsic first order derivatives on post critically finite fractals and prove differentiability almost everywhere with respect to self-similar measures for certain classes of fractals and functions. We apply our results to extend the geography is destiny principle to these cases, and also obtain results on the pointwise behavior of local eccentricities on the Sierpiński gasket, previously studied by Öberg, Strichartz and Yingst, and the authors. We also establish the relation of the derivatives to the tangents and gradients previously studied by Strichartz and the authors. Our main tool is the Furstenberg-Kesten theory of products of random matrices.     

Fractal snowflake domain diffusion with boundary and interior drifts

We study a parabolic Ventsell problem for a second order differential operator in divergence form and with interior and boundary drift terms on the snowflake domain. We prove that under standard conditions a related Cauchy problem possesses a unique classical solution and explain in which sense it solves a rigorous formulation of the initial Ventsell problem. As a second result we prove that functions that are intrinsically Lipschitz on the snowflake boundary admit Euclidean Lipschitz extensions to the closure of the entire domain. Our methods combine the fractal membrane analysis, the vector analysis for local Dirichlet forms and PDE on fractals, coercive closed forms, and the analysis of Lipschitz functions.     

A stochastic process for fractal design

A special family of stochastic processes which allow the design of fractals is considered. We show that a process with arbitrary but continuous given functions of variance and mean value can be constructed. The paths of the process are fractals. They are computed by a very simple and fast algorithm.     

Analysis on products of fractals

For a class of post-critically finite (p.c.f.) fractals, which includes the Sierpinski gasket (SG), there is a satisfactory theory of analysis due to Kigami, including energy, harmonic functions and Laplacians. In particular, the Laplacian coincides with the generator of a stochastic process constructed independently by probabilistic methods. The probabilistic method is also available for non-p.c.f. fractals such as the Sierpinski carpet. In this paper we show how to extend Kigami's construction to products of p.c.f. fractals. Since the products are not themselves p.c.f., this gives the first glimpse of what the analytic theory could accomplish in the non-p.c.f. setting. There are some important differences that arise in this setting. It is no longer true that points have positive capacity, so functions of finite energy are not necessarily continuous. Also the boundary of the fractal is no longer finite, so boundary conditions need to be dealt with in a more involved manner. All in all, the theory resembles PDE theory while in the p.c.f. case it is much closer to ODE theory.

     

APPROXIMATION OPERATORS AND SELFSIMILARITY OVER P-ADIC FIELD

Fourier analysis on local fields has been developed since M. H. Taiblesoa, Some of its theory and technique are much similar to the classical ones while some are not and even have not appropriately mathematical toolS to deal with. Recently we find there are a few but interesting applications to fractals ,especial to self-similar functions of the p-adic analysis and such a setting seems to be natural. This note also includes a concept of a derivative and approximation operators.     

相应于随机自相似分形的记忆函数和分数次积分

For a physics system which exhibits memory, if memory is preserved only at points of random self-similar fractals, we define random memory functions and give the connection between the expectation of flux and the fractional integral. In particular, when memory sets degenerate to Cantor type fractals or non-random self-similar fractals our results coincide with that of Nigmatullin and Ren et al. .     

Radial Multiresolution, Cuntz Algebras Representations and an Application to Fractals

We study Bernoulli type convolution measures on attractor sets arising from iterated function systems on R. In particular we examine orthogonality for Hankel frequencies in the Hilbert space of square integrable functions on the attractor coming from a radial multiresolution analysis on R³. A class of fractals emerges from a finite system of contractive affine mappings on the zeros of Bessel functions. We have then fractal measures on one hand and the geometry of radial wavelets on the other hand. More generally, multiresolutions serve as an operator theoretic framework for the study of such selfsimilar structures as wavelets, fractals, and recursive basis algorithms. The purpose of the present paper is to show that this can be done for a certain Bessel–Hankel transform. Submitted: February 20, 2008., Accepted: March 6, 2008.     

Double power laws,fractals and self-similarity

Power law (PL) distributions have been largely reported in the modeling of distinct real phenomena and have been associated with fractal structures and self-similar systems. In this paper, we analyze real data that follows a PL and a double PL behavior and verify the relation between the PL coefficient and the capacity dimension of known fractals. It is to be proved a method that translates PLs coefficients into capacity dimension of fractals of any real data.

Dimensions of fractals in the large

Fractals in the large can be generated as the invariant set of an expansive, iterated function system. A number of dimensions have been introduced and studied for such fractals. In this note we show that these dimensions coincide for large fractals generated by functions with arithmetic expansion factors, and that this common dimension is equal to the dimension of the (small) fractal generated by the inverse functions.     

Old wine in fractal bottles I: Orthogonal expansions on self-referential spaces via fractal transformations

Our results and examples show how transformations between self-similar sets may be continuous almost everywhere with respect to measures on the sets and may be used to carry well known notions from analysis and functional analysis, for example flows and spectral analysis, from familiar settings to new ones. The focus of this paper is on a number of surprising applications including what we call fractal Fourier analysis, in which the graphs of the basis functions are Cantor sets, discontinuous at a countable dense set of points, yet have good approximation properties. In a sequel, the focus will be on Lebesgue measure-preserving flows whose wave-fronts are fractals. The key idea is to use fractal transformations to provide unitary transformations between Hilbert spaces defined on attractors of iterated function systems.     

Space-filling curves and geodesic laminations. II: Symmetries

In 2008, the author introduced a class of space-filling curves associated to fractals that satisfy the a special property. These structures admit geodesic laminations on the disc, which help to understand the geometrical and the dynamical properties of the space-filling curves. In the present article we study the relation between the symmetries of the laminations and the fractals. In particular we prove that the group of symmetries of the lamination is isomorphic to a subgroup of the full group of symmetries of the fractal. We extend the results to a larger class of fractals using the concept of sub-IFS.     

Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces and fractal interpolation

Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHSs) are a very useful and powerful tool of functional analysis with application in many diverse paradigms, such as multivariate statistics and machine learning. Fractal interpolation, on the other hand, is a relatively recent technique that generalizes traditional interpolation through the introduction of self-similarity. In this work we show that the functional space of any family of (recurrent) fractal interpolation functions ((R)FIFs) constitutes an RKHS with a specific associated kernel function, thus, extending considerably the toolbox of known kernel functions and introducing fractals to the RKHS world. We also provide the means for the computation of the kernel function that corresponds to any specific fractal RKHS and give several examples.     

Derivations and Dirichlet forms on fractals

We study derivations and Fredholm modules on metric spaces with a local regular conservative Dirichlet form. In particular, on finitely ramified fractals, we show that there is a non-trivial Fredholm module if and only if the fractal is not a tree (i.e. not simply connected). This result relates Fredholm modules and topology, refines and improves known results on p.c.f. fractals. We also discuss weakly summable Fredholm modules and the Dixmier trace in the cases of some finitely and infinitely ramified fractals (including non-self-similar fractals) if the so-called spectral dimension is less than 2. In the finitely ramified self-similar case we relate the p-summability question with estimates of the Lyapunov exponents for harmonic functions and the behavior of the pressure function.     

A Martinelli-Bochner formula on fractal domains

A new perspective on a Cauchy integral formula for Clifford algebras valued functions on domains with quite smooth boundaries was discussed in [5]. On the other hand, the Cauchy transform associated to Clifford analysis has been involved recently with fractional metric dimensions and fractals, see [1, 2, 3]. In this paper we consider the question of possible generalizations of the Cauchy integral formula to domains with fractal boundary. As an application, we prove a Martinelli-Bochner type formula for several complex variables on such pathological domains. The proof makes heavy use of the isotonic approach of the monogenic functions theory. Received: 8 October 2008

Mean Value Properties of Harmonic Functions on Sierpinski Gasket Type Fractals

In this paper, we establish an analogue of the classical mean value property for both the harmonic functions and some general functions in the domain of the Laplacian on the Sierpinski gasket. Furthermore, we extend the result to some other p.c.f. fractals with Dihedral-3 symmetry.
