Random fractal strings: Their zeta functions, complex dimensions and spectral asymptotics

In this paper a string is a sequence of positive non-increasing real numbers which sums to one. For our purposes a fractal string is a string formed from the lengths of removed sub-intervals created by a recursive decomposition of the unit interval. By using the so-called complex dimensions of the string, the poles of an associated zeta function, it is possible to obtain detailed information about the behaviour of the asymptotic properties of the string. We consider random versions of fractal strings. We show that by using a random recursive self-similar construction, it is possible to obtain similar results to those for deterministic self-similar strings. In the case of strings generated by the excursions of stable subordinators, we show that the complex dimensions can only lie on the real line. The results allow us to discuss the geometric and spectral asymptotics of one-dimensional domains with random fractal boundary.

     

Two-dimensional wave equations with fractal boundaries

This paper focuses on two cases of two-dimensional wave equations with fractal boundaries. The first case is the equation with classical derivative. The formal solution is obtained. And a definition of the solution is given. Then we prove that under certain conditions, the solution is a kind of fractal function, which is continuous, differentiable nowhere in its domain. Next, for specific given initial position and 3 different initial velocities, the graphs of solutions are sketched. By computing the box dimensions of boundaries of cross-sections for solution surfaces, we evaluate the range of box dimension of the vibrating membrane. The second case is the equation with p-type derivative. The corresponding solution is shown and numerical example is given.     

Stokes' theorem for domains with fractal boundary

In this paper, integrals of second kind over a rectifiable curve or a piecewise smooth surface are extended to continuous fractal curves and surfaces. Theorems for the existence of these integrals are proved. Green's, Gauss' and Stokes' theorems are developed for domains with fractal boundaries.     

Truncated fractal basin boundaries in the pendulum with nonperiodic forcing

Summary It is well known that oscillators such as the pendulum can have fractal basin boundaries when they are periodically forced with the consequence that the long term behavior of the system may be unpredictable. In engineering and physical applications, the forcing is often nonperiodic and eventually decays to zero, and simulation of the pendulum with decaying forcing (M. Varghese, J. S. Thorp, Physical Review Letters, vol. 60, no. 8, pp. 665–668, Feb. 1988) exhibits truncated fractal basin boundaries which also limit the system predictability. We develop a coordinate change for the pendulum with decaying forcing that allows us to apply standard qualitative methods to study the basin boundaries. We prove that the basin boundaries cannot be fractal and show by example how the extreme stretching and folding leading to a truncated fractal basin boundary may arise.     

Spectra of graphs and fractal dimensions II

This paper continues the study of exponentsd(x), d (x), d _R (x) andd (x) for graphG; and the nearest neighbor random walk {X _n } _nN onG, if the starting pointX ₀=x is fixed. These exponents are responsible for the geometric, resistance, diffusion and spectral properties of the graph. The main concern of this paper is the relation of these exponents to the spectral density of the transition matrix. A series of new exponentse, e ,e _R ,e are introduced by allowingx to vary along the vertices. The results suggest that the geometric and resistance properties of the graph are responsible for the diffusion speed on the graph.     

Optimal control of stochastic differential equations with dynamical boundary conditions

In this paper we investigate the optimal control problem for a class of stochastic Cauchy evolution problems with nonstandard boundary dynamic and control. The model is composed by an infinite dimensional dynamical system coupled with a finite dimensional dynamics, which describes the boundary conditions of the internal system. In other terms, we are concerned with nonstandard boundary conditions, as the value at the boundary is governed by a different stochastic differential equation.     

Self-similar p-adic fractal strings and their complex dimensions

We develop a geometric theory of self-similar p-adic fractal strings and their complex dimensions. We obtain a closed-form formula for the geometric zeta functions and show that these zeta functions are rational functions in an appropriate variable. We also prove that every self-similar p-adic fractal string is lattice. Finally, we define the notion of a nonarchimedean self-similar set and discuss its relationship with that of a self-similar p-adic fractal string. We illustrate the general theory by two simple examples, the nonarchimedean Cantor and Fibonacci strings. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Hyperanalytic Riemann boundary value problem on d-summable closed curves

We are interested in finding solvability conditions for the Riemann boundary value problems for hyperanalytic functions in a simply connected bounded open subset of the complex plane whose boundary is merely required to be a d-summable closed curve.     

Generalized fractal dimensions: equivalences and basic properties

Given a positive probability Borel measure μ on , we establish some basic properties of the associated functions τ_μ^±(q) and of the generalized fractal dimensions D_μ^±(q) for . We first give the equivalence of the Hentschel–Procaccia dimensions with the Rényi dimensions and the mean-q dimensions, for q>0. We then use these relations to prove some regularity properties for τ_μ^±(q) and D_μ^±(q); we also provide some estimates for these functions, in particular estimates on their behaviour at ±∞, as well as for the dimensions corresponding to convolution of two measures. We finally present some calculations for specific examples illustrating the different cases met in the article.     

Backbone fractal dimension and fractal hybrid orbital of protein structure

Fractal geometry analysis provides a useful and desirable tool to characterize the configuration and structure of proteins. In this paper we examined the fractal properties of 750 folded proteins from four different structural classes, namely (1) the α-class (dominated by α-helices), (2) the β-class (dominated by β-pleated sheets), (3) the (α/β)-class (α-helices and β-sheets alternately mixed) and (4) the (α + β)-class (α-helices and β-sheets largely segregated) by using two fractal dimension methods, i.e. “the local fractal dimension” and “the backbone fractal dimension” (a new and useful quantitative parameter). The results showed that the protein molecules exhibit a fractal behavior in the range of 1 ? N ? 15 (N is the number of the interval between two adjacent amino acid residues), and the value of backbone fractal dimension is distinctly greater than that of local fractal dimension for the same protein. The average value of two fractal dimensions decreased in order of α > α/β > α + β > β. Moreover, the mathematical formula for the hybrid orbital model of protein based on the concept of backbone fractal dimension is in good coincidence with that of the similarity dimension. So it is a very accurate and simple method to analyze the hybrid orbital model of protein by using the backbone fractal dimension.

Closed fractal interpolation surfaces

Based on the construction of bivariate fractal interpolation surfaces, we introduce closed spherical fractal interpolation surfaces. The interpolation takes place in spherical coordinates and with the transformation to Cartesian coordinates a closed surface arises. We give conditions for this construction to be valid and state some useful relations about the Hausdorff and the Box counting dimension of the closed surface.

Spanning Trees with Few Leaves

In this paper, we prove that an m-connected graph G on n vertices has a spanning tree with at most k leaves (for k ≥ 2 and m ≥ 1) if every independent set of G with cardinality m + k contains at least one pair of vertices with degree sum at least n − k + 1. This is a common generalization of results due to Broersma and Tuinstra and to Win.
