On the Mandelbrot Set for I2 = ±1 and Imaginary Higgs Fields
Journal of Advances in Applied Mathematics, Vol. 6, No. 2, April 2021 https://dx.doi.org/10.22606/jaam.2021.62001 27 On the Mandelbrot Set for i2 = ±1 and Imaginary Higgs Fields Jonathan Blackledge Stokes Professor, Science Foundation Ireland.

Email: [email protected] Abstract We consider the consequence√ of breaking with a fundamental result in complex analysis by letting i2 = ±1 where i = −1 is the basic unit of all imaginary numbers. An analysis of the Mandelbrot set for this case shows that a demarcation between a Fractal and a Euclidean object is possible based on i2 = −1 and i2 = +1, respectively. Further, we consider the transient behaviour associated with the two cases to produce a range of non-standard sets in which a Fractal geometric structure is transformed into a Euclidean object. In the case of the Mandelbrot set, the Euclidean object is a square whose properties are investigate. Coupled with the associated Julia sets and other complex plane mappings, this approach provides the potential to generate a wide range of new semi-fractal structures which are visually interesting and may be of artistic merit. In this context, we present a mathematical paradox which explores the idea that i2 = ±1. -

Fractal (Mandelbrot and Julia) Zero-Knowledge Proof of Identity
Journal of Computer Science 4 (5): 408-414, 2008 ISSN 1549-3636 © 2008 Science Publications Fractal (Mandelbrot and Julia) Zero-Knowledge Proof of Identity Mohammad Ahmad Alia and Azman Bin Samsudin School of Computer Sciences, University Sains Malaysia, 11800 Penang, Malaysia Abstract: We proposed a new zero-knowledge proof of identity protocol based on Mandelbrot and Julia Fractal sets. The Fractal based zero-knowledge protocol was possible because of the intrinsic connection between the Mandelbrot and Julia Fractal sets. In the proposed protocol, the private key was used as an input parameter for Mandelbrot Fractal function to generate the corresponding public key. Julia Fractal function was then used to calculate the verified value based on the existing private key and the received public key. The proposed protocol was designed to be resistant against attacks. Fractal based zero-knowledge protocol was an attractive alternative to the traditional number theory zero-knowledge protocol. Key words: Zero-knowledge, cryptography, fractal, mandelbrot fractal set and julia fractal set INTRODUCTION Zero-knowledge proof of identity system is a cryptographic protocol between two parties. Whereby, the first party wants to prove that he/she has the identity (secret word) to the second party, without revealing anything about his/her secret to the second party. Following are the three main properties of zero- knowledge proof of identity[1]: Completeness: The honest prover convinces the honest verifier that the secret statement is true. Soundness: Cheating prover can’t convince the honest verifier that a statement is true (if the statement is really false). Fig. 1: Zero-knowledge cave Zero-knowledge: Cheating verifier can’t get anything Zero-knowledge cave: Zero-Knowledge Cave is a other than prover’s public data sent from the honest well-known scenario used to describe the idea of zero- prover. -

WHAT IS a CHAOTIC ATTRACTOR? 1. Introduction J. Yorke Coined the Word 'Chaos' As Applied to Deterministic Systems. R. Devane
WHAT IS A CHAOTIC ATTRACTOR? CLARK ROBINSON Abstract. Devaney gave a mathematical definition of the term chaos, which had earlier been introduced by Yorke. We discuss issues involved in choosing the properties that characterize chaos. We also discuss how this term can be combined with the definition of an attractor. 1. Introduction J. Yorke coined the word `chaos' as applied to deterministic systems. R. Devaney gave the first mathematical definition for a map to be chaotic on the whole space where a map is defined. Since that time, there have been several different definitions of chaos which emphasize different aspects of the map. Some of these are more computable and others are more mathematical. See [9] a comparison of many of these definitions. There is probably no one best or correct definition of chaos. In this paper, we discuss what we feel is one of better mathematical definition. (It may not be as computable as some of the other definitions, e.g., the one by Alligood, Sauer, and Yorke.) Our definition is very similar to the one given by Martelli in [8] and [9]. We also combine the concepts of chaos and attractors and discuss chaotic attractors. 2. Basic definitions We start by giving the basic definitions needed to define a chaotic attractor. We give the definitions for a diffeomorphism (or map), but those for a system of differential equations are similar. The orbit of a point x∗ by F is the set O(x∗; F) = f Fi(x∗) : i 2 Z g. An invariant set for a diffeomorphism F is an set A in the domain such that F(A) = A. -
Homeomorphisms Group of Normed Vector Space: Conjugacy Problems
HOMEOMORPHISMS GROUP OF NORMED VECTOR SPACE: CONJUGACY PROBLEMS AND THE KOOPMAN OPERATOR MICKAEL¨ D. CHEKROUN AND JEAN ROUX Abstract. This article is concerned with conjugacy problems arising in the homeomorphisms group, Hom(F ), of unbounded subsets F of normed vector spaces E. Given two homeomor- phisms f and g in Hom(F ), it is shown how the existence of a conjugacy may be related to the existence of a common generalized eigenfunction of the associated Koopman operators. This common eigenfunction serves to build a topology on Hom(F ), where the conjugacy is obtained as limit of a sequence generated by the conjugacy operator, when this limit exists. The main conjugacy theorem is presented in a class of generalized Lipeomorphisms. 1. Introduction In this article we consider the conjugacy problem in the homeomorphisms group of a finite dimensional normed vector space E. It is out of the scope of the present work to review the problem of conjugacy in general, and the reader may consult for instance [13, 16, 29, 33, 26, 42, 45, 51, 52] and references therein, to get a partial survey of the question from a dynamical point of view. The present work raises the problem of conjugacy in the group Hom(F ) consisting of homeomorphisms of an unbounded subset F of E and is intended to demonstrate how the conjugacy problem, in such a case, may be related to spectral properties of the associated Koopman operators. In this sense, this paper provides new insights on the relations between the spectral theory of dynamical systems [5, 17, 23, 36] and the topological conjugacy problem [51, 52]1. -

Rendering Hypercomplex Fractals by Anthony Atella An Honors Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Honors in The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science The School of Arts and Sciences Rhode Island College 2018 Abstract Fractal mathematics and geometry are useful for applications in science, engineering, and art, but acquiring the tools to explore and graph fractals can be frustrating. Tools available online have limited fractals, rendering methods, and shaders. They often fail to abstract these concepts in a reusable way. This means that multiple programs and interfaces must be learned and used to fully explore the topic. Chaos is an abstract fractal geometry rendering program created to solve this problem. This application builds off previous work done by myself and others [1] to create an extensible, abstract solution to rendering fractals. This paper covers what fractals are, how they are rendered and colored, implementation, issues that were encountered, and finally planned future improvements. -
Generating Fractals Using Complex Functions
Generating Fractals Using Complex Functions Avery Wengler and Eric Wasser What is a Fractal? ● Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. ● Created by repeating simple processes over and over in a feedback loop. ● Often represented on the complex plane as 2-dimensional images Where do we find fractals? Fractals in Nature Lungs Neurons from the Oak Tree human cortex Regardless of scale, these patterns are all formed by repeating a simple branching process. Geometric Fractals “A rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole.” Mandelbrot (1983) The Sierpinski Triangle Algebraic Fractals ● Fractals created by repeatedly calculating a simple equation over and over. ● Were discovered later because computers were needed to explore them ● Examples: ○ Mandelbrot Set ○ Julia Set ○ Burning Ship Fractal Mandelbrot Set ● Benoit Mandelbrot discovered this set in 1980, shortly after the invention of the personal computer 2 ● zn+1=zn + c ● That is, a complex number c is part of the Mandelbrot set if, when starting with z0 = 0 and applying the iteration repeatedly, the absolute value of zn remains bounded however large n gets.

Iterated Function Systems, Ruelle Operators, and Invariant Projective Measures
MATHEMATICS OF COMPUTATION Volume 75, Number 256, October 2006, Pages 1931–1970 S 0025-5718(06)01861-8 Article electronically published on May 31, 2006 ITERATED FUNCTION SYSTEMS, RUELLE OPERATORS, AND INVARIANT PROJECTIVE MEASURES DORIN ERVIN DUTKAY AND PALLE E. T. JORGENSEN Abstract. We introduce a Fourier-based harmonic analysis for a class of dis- crete dynamical systems which arise from Iterated Function Systems. Our starting point is the following pair of special features of these systems. (1) We assume that a measurable space X comes with a finite-to-one endomorphism r : X → X which is onto but not one-to-one. (2) In the case of affine Iterated Function Systems (IFSs) in Rd, this harmonic analysis arises naturally as a spectral duality defined from a given pair of finite subsets B,L in Rd of the same cardinality which generate complex Hadamard matrices. Our harmonic analysis for these iterated function systems (IFS) (X, µ)is based on a Markov process on certain paths. The probabilities are determined by a weight function W on X. From W we define a transition operator RW acting on functions on X, and a corresponding class H of continuous RW - harmonic functions. The properties of the functions in H are analyzed, and they determine the spectral theory of L2(µ).ForaffineIFSsweestablish orthogonal bases in L2(µ). These bases are generated by paths with infinite repetition of finite words. We use this in the last section to analyze tiles in Rd. 1. Introduction One of the reasons wavelets have found so many uses and applications is that they are especially attractive from the computational point of view. -

Possati In this paper we present a set of philosophical analyses to defend the thesis that computational reason is founded in writing; only what can be written is computable. We will focus on the relations among three main concepts: recursion, writing and iteration. The most important questions we will address are: • What does it mean to compute something? • What is a recursive structure? • Can we clarify the nature of recursion by investigating writing? • What kind of identity is presupposed by a recursive structure and by computation? Our theoretical path will lead us to a radical revision of the philosophical notion of identity. The act of iterating is rooted in an abstract space – we will try to outline a topological description of iteration. -
On the Combinatorics of External Rays in the Dynamics of the Complex Henon
ON THE COMBINATORICS OF EXTERNAL RAYS IN THE DYNAMICS OF THE COMPLEX HENON MAP. A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ricardo Antonio Oliva May 1998 c Ricardo Antonio Oliva 1998 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Addendum. This is a slightly revised version of my doctoral thesis: some typing and spelling mistakes have been corrected and a few sentences have been re-worded for better legibility (particularly in section 4.3). Also, to create a nicer pdf document with hyperref, the title of section 3.3.2 has been made shorter. The original title was A model for a map with an attracting fixed point as well as a period-3 sink: the (3-1)-graph. ON THE COMBINATORICS OF EXTERNAL RAYS IN THE DYNAMICS OF THE COMPLEX HENON MAP. Ricardo Antonio Oliva , Ph.D. Cornell University 1998 We present combinatorial models that describe quotients of the solenoid arising from the dynamics of the complex H´enon map 2 2 2 fa,c : C → C , (x, y) → (x + c − ay, x). These models encode identifications of external rays for specific mappings in the H´enon family. We investigate the structure of a region of parameter space in R2 empirically, using computational tools we developed for this study. We give a combi- natorial description of bifurcations arising from changes in the set of identifications of external rays. Our techniques enable us to detect, predict, and locate bifurca- tion curves in parameter space. We describe a specific family of bifurcations in a region of real parameter space for which the mappings were expected to have sim- ple dynamics. -
ABSTRACT Chaos in Dendritic and Circular Julia Sets Nathan Averbeck, Ph.D. Advisor: Brian Raines, D.Phil. We Demonstrate The
ABSTRACT Chaos in Dendritic and Circular Julia Sets Nathan Averbeck, Ph.D. Advisor: Brian Raines, D.Phil. We demonstrate the existence of various forms of chaos (including transitive distributional chaos, !-chaos, topological chaos, and exact Devaney chaos) on two families of abstract Julia sets: the dendritic Julia sets Dτ and the \circular" Julia sets Eτ , whose symbolic encoding was introduced by Stewart Baldwin. In particular, suppose one of the two following conditions hold: either fc has a Julia set which is a dendrite, or (provided that the kneading sequence of c is Γ-acceptable) that fc has an attracting or parabolic periodic point. Then, by way of a conjugacy which allows us to represent these Julia sets symbolically, we prove that fc exhibits various forms of chaos.
