Unified description of aesthetic curves through self-affinities.

Self-affine arcs without inner weak separation are parabolic segments.

We test for departures from normal and independent and identically distributed (NIID) returns, when returns under the alternative hypothesis are self-affine. Self-affine returns are either fractionally integrated and long-range dependent, or drawn randomly from an L-stable distribution with infinite higher-order moment…

This paper studies closed 3-manifolds which are the attractors of a system of finitely many affine contractions that tile $\mathbb{R}^3$. Such attractors are called self-affine tiles. Effective characterization and recognition theorems for these 3-manifolds as well as theoretical generalizations of these results to hig…

We develop tools to study the topology and geometry of self-affine fractals in dimension three and higher. We use the self-affine structure and obtain rather detailed information about the connectedness of interior and boundary sets, and on the dimensions and intersections of boundary sets. As an application, we descri…

The paper examines properties of self-affine Sierpiński sponges using metric invariants.

Let $A$ be an expanding $d\times d$ matrix with integer entries and ${\mathcal D}\subset {\mathbb Z}^d$ be a finite digit set. Then the pair $(A, {\mathcal D})$ defines a unique integral self-affine set $K=A^{-1}(K+{\mathcal D})$. In this paper, by replacing the Euclidean norm with a pseudo-norm $w$ in terms of $A$, we…

New tiles in higher dimensions are shown to be homeomorphic to balls.

Study finds a measure for sponge components of Lalley-Gatzouras type.

Self-affine tiles homeomorphic to a ball proven for a specific digit set.

New aesthetic curves in equiaffine geometry include the quadratic and logarithmic spiral.

In this paper, we consider the connectedness of planar self-affine set $T(A,\mathcal{D})$ arising from an integral expanding matrix $A$ with characteristic polynomial $f(x)=x^2+bx+c$ and a digit set $\mathcal{D}=\{0,1,\dots, m\}v$. The necessary and sufficient conditions only depending on $b,c,m$ are given for the $T(A…

Let $M$ be a $3\times 3$ integer matrix each of whose eigenvalues is greater than $1$ in modulus and let $\mathcal{D}\subset\mathbb{Z}^3$ be a set with $|\mathcal{D}|=|\det M|$, called digit set. The set equation $MT = T+\mathcal{D}$ uniquely defines a nonempty compact set $T\subset \mathbb{R}^3$. If $T$ has positive L…

We study the connectedness of the planar self-affine sets $T(A,{\mathcal{D}})$ generated by an integer expanding matrix $A$ with $|\det(A)|=3$ and a non-collinear digit set ${\mathcal D}=\{0, v, kAv\}$ where $k\in {\mathbb Z}\setminus\{0\}$ and $v\in {\mathbb Z}^2$ such that $\{v, Av\}$ is linearly independent. By chec…

In the paper, we focus on the connectedness of planar self-affine sets $T(A,{\mathcal{D}})$ generated by an integer expanding matrix $A$ with $|\det (A)|=3$ and a collinear digit set ${\mathcal{D}}=\{0,1,b\}v$, where $b>1$ and $v\in {\mathbb{R}}^2$ such that $\{v, Av\}$ is linearly independent. We discuss the domain of…

Study on Hausdorff dimension of Anosov subgroup limit sets under specific affine complexity.

We propose a construction which transforms a self-similar zipper in $\mathbb R^n$ to a self-affine zipper $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ whose attractor is a smooth curve.

Let $T:= T(A, {\mathcal D})$ be a disk-like self-affine tile generated by an integral expanding matrix $A$ and a consecutive collinear digit set ${\mathcal D}$, and let $f(x)=x^{2}+px+q$ be the characteristic polynomial of $A$. In the paper, we identify the boundary $\partial T$ with a sofic system by constructing a ne…

We introduce a new method for detection of long-range cross-correlations and multifractality - multifractal height cross-correlation analysis (MF-HXA) - based on scaling of qth order covariances. MF-HXA is a bivariate generalization of the height-height correlation analysis of Barabasi & Vicsek [Barabasi, A.L., Vicsek,…

We utilize a recently developed genetic algorithm, in conjunction with discrete wavelets, for carrying out successful forecasts of the trend in financial time series, that includes the NASDAQ composite index. Discrete wavelets isolate the local, small scale variations in these non-stationary time series, after which th…

Earlier we proposed the stochastic point process model, which reproduces a variety of self-affine time series exhibiting power spectral density S(f) scaling as power of the frequency f and derived a stochastic differential equation with the same long range memory properties. Here we present a stochastic differential eq…

The paper extends a measure preserving property to bi-Lipschitz maps between Moran sets.

A simple analytically solvable model exhibiting a 1/f spectrum in an arbitrarily wide frequency range was recently proposed by Kaulakys and Meskauskas (KM). Signals consisting of a sequence of pulses show that inherent origin of the 1/f noise is Brownian fluctuations of the average intervent time between subsequent pul…

We consider the Nordic electricity spot market from mid 1992 to the end of year 2000. This market is found to be well approximated by an anti-persistent self-affine (mean-reverting) walk. It is characterized by a Hurst exponent of $H\simeq 0.41$ over three orders of magnitude in time ranging from days to years. We argu…

Paper defines topology automaton for Barański carpets and proves Hölder equivalence conditions.

An iterated function system $Φ$ consisting of contractive similarity mappings has a unique attractor $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ which is invariant under the action of the system, as was shown by Hutchinson [Hut]. This paper shows how the action of the function system naturally produces a tiling $\mathcal{T}$ of the con…

The process of collecting and organizing sets of observations represents a common theme throughout the history of science. However, despite the ubiquity of scientists measuring, recording, and analyzing the dynamics of different processes, an extensive organization of scientific time-series data and analysis methods ha…

Signals consisting of a sequence of pulses show that inherent origin of the 1/f noise is a Brownian fluctuation of the average interevent time between subsequent pulses of the pulse sequence. In this paper we generalize the model of interevent time to reproduce a variety of self-affine time series exhibiting power spec…
