SUBFRACTALS INDUCED by SUBSHIFTS a Dissertation
SUBFRACTALS INDUCED BY SUBSHIFTS A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Elizabeth Sattler In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Major Department: Mathematics May 2016 Fargo, North Dakota NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY Graduate School Title SUBFRACTALS INDUCED BY SUBSHIFTS By Elizabeth Sattler The supervisory committee certifies that this dissertation complies with North Dakota State Uni- versity's regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Dr. Do˘ganC¸¨omez Chair Dr. Azer Akhmedov Dr. Mariangel Alfonseca Dr. Simone Ludwig Approved: 05/24/2016 Dr. Benton Duncan Date Department Chair ABSTRACT In this thesis, a subfractal is the subset of points in the attractor of an iterated function system in which every point in the subfractal is associated with an allowable word from a subshift on the underlying symbolic space. In the case in which (1) the subshift is a subshift of finite type with an irreducible adjacency matrix, (2) the iterated function system satisfies the open set condition, and (3) contractive bounds exist for each map in the iterated function system, we find bounds for both the Hausdorff and box dimensions of the subfractal, where the bounds depend both on the adjacency matrix and the contractive bounds on the maps. We extend this result to sofic subshifts, a more general subshift than a subshift of finite type, and to allow the adjacency matrix n to be reducible. The structure of a subfractal naturally defines a measure on R . -

March 12, 2011 DIAGONALLY NON-RECURSIVE FUNCTIONS AND EFFECTIVE HAUSDORFF DIMENSION NOAM GREENBERG AND JOSEPH S. MILLER Abstract. We prove that every sufficiently slow growing DNR function com- putes a real with effective Hausdorff dimension one. We then show that for any recursive unbounded and nondecreasing function j, there is a DNR function bounded by j that does not compute a Martin-L¨ofrandom real. Hence there is a real of effective Hausdorff dimension 1 that does not compute a Martin-L¨of random real. This answers a question of Reimann and Terwijn. 1. Introduction Reimann and Terwijn asked the dimension extraction problem: can one effec- tively increase the information density of a sequence with positive information den- sity? For a formal definition of information density, they used the notion of effective Hausdorff dimension. This effective version of the classical Hausdorff dimension of geometric measure theory was first defined by Lutz [10], using a martingale defini- tion of Hausdorff dimension. Unlike classical dimension, it is possible for singletons to have positive dimension, and so Lutz defined the dimension dim(A) of a binary sequence A 2 2! to be the effective dimension of the singleton fAg. Later, Mayor- domo [12] (but implicit in Ryabko [15]), gave a characterisation using Kolmogorov complexity: for all A 2 2!, K(A n) C(A n) dim(A) = lim inf = lim inf ; n!1 n n!1 n where C is plain Kolmogorov complexity and K is the prefix-free version.1 Given this formal notion, the dimension extraction problem is the following: if 2 dim(A) > 0, is there necessarily a B 6T A such that dim(B) > dim(A)? The problem was recently solved by the second author [13], who showed that there is ! an A 2 2 such that dim(A) = 1=2 and if B 6T A, then dim(B) 6 1=2. -
A Note on Pointwise Dimensions
A Note on Pointwise Dimensions Neil Lutz∗ Department of Computer Science, Rutgers University Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA [email protected] April 6, 2017 Abstract This short note describes a connection between algorithmic dimensions of individual points and classical pointwise dimensions of measures. 1 Introduction Effective dimensions are pointwise notions of dimension that quantify the den- sity of algorithmic information in individual points in continuous domains. This note aims to clarify their relationship to the classical notion of pointwise dimen- sions of measures, which is central to the study of fractals and dynamics. This connection is then used to compare algorithmic and classical characterizations of Hausdorff and packing dimensions. See [15, 17] for surveys of the strong ties between algorithmic information and fractal dimensions. 2 Pointwise Notions of Dimension arXiv:1612.05849v2 [cs.CC] 5 Apr 2017 We begin by defining the two most well-studied formulations of algorithmic dimension [5], the effective Hausdorff and packing dimensions. Given a point x ∈ Rn, a precision parameter r ∈ N, and an oracle set A ⊆ N, let A A n Kr (x) = min{K (q): q ∈ Q ∩ B2−r (x)} , where KA(q) is the prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity of q relative to the oracle −r A, as defined in [10], and B2−r (x) is the closed ball of radius 2 around x. ∗Research supported in part by National Science Foundation Grant 1445755. 1 Definition. The effective Hausdorff dimension and effective packing dimension of x ∈ Rn relative to A are KA(x) dimA(x) = lim inf r r→∞ r KA(x) DimA(x) = lim sup r , r→∞ r respectively [11, 14, 1]. -

An Introduction to Apophysis © Clive Haynes MMXX
Apophysis Fractal Generator An Introduction Clive Haynes Fractal ‘Flames’ The type of fractals generated are known as ‘Flame Fractals’ and for the curious, I append a note about their structure, gleaned from the internet, at the end of this piece. Please don’t ask me to explain it! Where to download Apophysis: go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/apophysis/ Sorry Mac users but it’s only available for Windows. To see examples of fractal images I’ve generated using Apophysis, I’ve made an Issuu e-book and here’s the URL. https://issuu.com/fotopix/docs/ordering_kaos Getting Started There’s not a defined ‘follow this method workflow’ for generating interesting fractals. It’s really a matter of considerable experimentation and the accumulation of a knowledge-base about general principles: what the numerous presets tend to do and what various options allow. Infinite combinations of variables ensure there’s also a huge serendipity factor. I’ve included a few screen-grabs to help you. The screen-grabs are detailed and you may need to enlarge them for better viewing. Once Apophysis has loaded, it will provide a Random Batch of fractal patterns. Some will be appealing whilst many others will be less favourable. To generate another set, go to File > Random Batch (shortcut Ctrl+B). Screen-grab 1 Choose a fractal pattern from the batch and it will appear in the main window (Screen-grab 1). Depending upon the complexity of the fractal and the processing power of your computer, there will be a ‘wait time’ every time you change a parameter. -
Fractal Geometry
Fractal Geometry Special Topics in Dynamical Systems | WS2020 Sascha Troscheit Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Wien, Austria [email protected] July 2, 2020 Abstract Classical shapes in geometry { such as lines, spheres, and rectangles { are only rarely found in nature. More common are shapes that share some sort of \self-similarity". For example, a mountain is not a pyramid, but rather a collection of \mountain-shaped" rocks of various sizes down to the size of a gain of sand. Without any sort of scale reference, it is difficult to distinguish a mountain from a ragged hill, a boulder, or ever a small uneven pebble. These shapes are ubiquitous in the natural world from clouds to lightning strikes or even trees. What is a tree but a collection of \tree-shaped" branches? A central component of fractal geometry is the description of how various properties of geometric objects scale with size. Dimension theory in particular studies scalings by means of various dimensions, each capturing a different characteristic. The most frequent scaling encountered in geometry is exponential scaling (e.g. surface area and volume of cubes and spheres) but even natural measures can simultaneously exhibit very different behaviour on an average scale, fine scale, and coarse scale. Dimensions are used to classify these objects and distinguish them when traditional means, such as cardinality, area, and volume, are no longer appropriate. We shall establish fundamen- tal results in dimension theory which in turn influences research in diverse subject areas such as combinatorics, group theory, number theory, coding theory, data processing, and financial mathematics. -

Apophysis :– an Intermediate User Guide
Apophysis :– An Intermediate User Guide By Carl Skepper (aka 2B2H) April 2006 Contents Introduction 3 Working with the Editor 4 Using my Metallica script 10 Falling in love with Julia (and Julia ‘n’) 15 Tiling (prepare to be disappointed) 24 Use of blur 31 Adding Colour to your flames 37 Introduction Welcome to my intermediate user guide to using the great freeware application called Apophysis , also affectionately known as ‘Apo’. I first downloaded this software on December 5 th 2005 and I have been hooked on it ever since. The variety of fractals it is able to produce is only limited by your creativity but saying that, your creativity amounts to nothing if you fail to persevere despite the lack of documentation out there. The definitive starter guides are those by Lance and for scripting, by Datagram. Links to both (and much more useful stuff) can be found at The Fractal Farm website : http://www.woosie.net/fracfan/viewtopic.php?t=15 These guides help you with the GUI and offer some basic advice on creating fractals. This guide is different. Together we will create specific flames so you can see how they are done. By doingthis I hope you will gain a better understandiing of Apo and use the knowledge to create your own fractal wonders ☺ It is not intended to teach you the basics of the GUI, those are covered in the docs linked at The Fractal Farm. It will show you a few tricks that you may not be aware of. I do not profess to be any kind of expert with the software. -

Daniel Mauldin Abstract Rd ∈ Rd log μB(x,r) Let μ be a self-similar measure in . A point x for which the limit limr0 log r does not exist is called a divergence point. Very recently there has been an enormous interest in investigating the fractal structure of various sets of divergence points. However, all previous work has focused exclusively on the study of the Hausdorff dimension of sets of divergence points and nothing is known about the packing dimension of sets of divergence points. In this paper we will give a systematic and detailed account of the problem of determining the packing dimensions of sets of divergence points of self-similar measures. An interesting and surprising consequence of our results is that, except for certain trivial cases, many natural sets of divergence points have distinct Hausdorff and packing dimensions. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
