I can only thank my family and my friends who were always believing in me and helpingalong the way to this moment. These people have made me into the person I am today and thank them for their support in this long and tiring journey. Especially, my professor Patricia Hale who been very patient with me and helped me with any questions or concerns I have had since I started this paper. iii ABSTRACT In this paper, many concepts and ideas will be presented about fractals and their dimension. There will be a overlook of a few defnitions which classify fractals and what type of dimension they possess. The types of fractals which will be covered are sets which we will classify as strictly and non-strictly self similar sets. Also there will be a comparison of two di˙erent dimensions on a strictly self similar set. iv Contents Signature Page ii Table of Contents vi List of Figures viii 1 Introduction 1 2 Basic Defnitions 4 2.1 Logarithms and Exponential Laws . 4 2.2 Topology . 5 2.3 Functions . 8 2.4 Fractal Defnitions . 12 2.5 Strictly Self Similar Sets . 15 2.5.1 The Cantor Set . 16 2.5.2 The Sierpinski Triangle . 16 2.5.3 The Von Koch Curve . 19 3 Non-Similar Fractals 23 3.1 The Julia Sets . 23 v 3.2 The Mandelbrot Set . 25 4 Dimension 30 4.1 Topological Dimension . 31 4.2 Similarity Dimension . 32 4.3 Hausdor˙ Dimension . 35 4.3.1 Hausdor˙ Measure . 35 5 Comparing Dimension 42 References 49 vi List of Figures 1.1 The Cantor Set [2] . 2 1.2 The Cantor Set . 3 2.1 Similar Triangles [5] . 12 2.2 Diagram of a Fern [4] . 14 2.3 A Shoreline [20] . 14 2.4 Waclaw Sierpinski [16] . 17 2.5 The Sierpinski Triangle [15] . 18 2.6 Open set under IFS . 19 2.7 The Von Koch Curve [7] . 21 2.8 Helge Von Koch [11] . 21 2.9 Open Trapezoid under IFS . 22 3.1 The Mandelbrot Set [17] . 25 3.2 Main Cardioid, Primary bulbs, Spokes, and Main antennas [6] . 27 3.3 4th primary bulb on the Mandelbrot Cactus [6] . 28 3.4 Smallest antenna on the 4th primary bulb [6] . 28 3.5 Fibonacci Numbers Found in the Mandelbrot set [6] . 29 4.1 Unit Cube [1] . 33 vii 4.2 The Sierpinski Triangle . 36 4.3 Closed balls covering boundary of unit square. 38 4.4 The Hausdor˙ dimension is the value where jump discontinuity oc- curs [3] . 39 n 5.1 The sets En = Vm where n = 0; 1; 2 . 45 i 5.2 C \ Vj where i = 0; 1; 2 . 46 viii Chapter 1 Introduction The understanding of a set containing some similar pat- tern or relation throughout its structure is the study of fractals. Fractals appear in many shapes and forms in our own world such as in plants, animals, and in math- ematical objects. These fractals are becoming more and more popular by mathematicians who wish to fnd their secrets which are hidden in plain sight. These secrets could be just how two fractals relate or how to product Georg Cantor [18] such an object. Before we start to give answers to these topics we need to know what fractals are and how they are constructed. When Georg Cantor (1845-1918) frst started to lay the foundations for modern day set theory, he introduced one of the most important fractals in his paper pub- lished in 1883 called the Cantor Set. The Cantor Set is a fractal and is an infnite set of points which are usually considered to lie in the closed interval [0,1] or unit interval. The mannerin which we constructthe Cantor Set is by an infniteprocess 1 that follows the following steps: • Step 0: Consider the closed interval F0 = [0; 1]. rd • Step 1: Remove the middle 3 of the interval [0; 1] and so we are left with 1 2 [0; 3 ][[ 3 ; 1]. Note that at each of these two intervals are similarto the original 1 with similarity constant 3 and call this new set F1. rd • Step 2: Remove the middle 3 from each interval in F1 so that we are left 1 2 12 7 8 with [0; 9 ] [ [ 9; 3 ] [ [ 3; 9 ] [ [ 9 ; 1]. Again, each of these intervals is similar to 1 the original interval [0; 1] with the similarity constant 32 and label this new set F2. rd k • Step k: Remove the middle 3 from each interval in Fk−1 which leaves 2 1 intervals of length 3k ; this stage is called the kth stage or Fk. Figure 1.1: The Cantor Set [2] At each stage, we can count how many intervals there are and fnd their lengths k 1 which is 2 intervals with length of 3k at the kth stage. It is standard to name each stage of a fractal by F0;F1;F2; :::; Fk where k 2 N and we will do so regularly in this paper. Note these stages are just a fnite number of representations in the 2 process of construction the Cantor Set and the real Cantor Set is obtained when k tends to infnity and we denote it as F . We can also take the intersection of all 1 such Fk to obtain the Cantor Set such as F = \k=0Fk. 1 Example 1. Consider the Cantor Set F . Scale F by 3 , then the resulting set is a smaller and yet a similar set to the Cantor Set. This set is an exact copy of the left hand subset of the Cantor Set. See the fgure below. Figure 1.2: The Cantor Set Now that we have seen what a fractal could be and how it could be generated, we will now go into the theory of fractals. This theory requires for the reader to recall some basic defnitions and theorems which are stripped bare so only the important material is given. 3 Chapter 2 Basic Defnitions 2.1 Logarithms and Exponential Laws In this paper we will face many concepts which involve fractals. These fractals are complex in nature but our focus will be mainly on the dimension of such objects. Once we give several di˙erent defnitions of dimension we will face how to calculate these dimensions which involves using techniques of logarithms and exponential laws. Before we undertake these calculations we need some review. Defnition 1. If b and x are positive real numbers and y is a real number then, y y = logb x is equivalent to b = x: We also read this as log base b of x. In the defnition above, we call the equality y = logb x the logarithmic form and the following equality, by = x, the exponential form. Next we will recall some useful properties of logarithms. Proposition 1 (Wolfram). Suppose a, b, and c are positive real numbers and p any real number then 4 1: log c ab = log c a + log c b a 2: log c b = log c a − log c b p 3: logc a = p logc a log a 4: log c a = log c 1 5: logc a = loga c The above properties can all be verifed by the defnition and properties of exponents. The following collection of properties which we will call proposition 2 can be proven by the properties in proposition 1. Since the material is review, which the reader has seen, we do not prove these properties but insteadleave them as exercises for the reader. Proposition 2. (Wolfram) Suppose a, b, and c are positive real numbers and p is any real number then 1: logc 1 = 0 2: logc c = 1 p 3: logc c = p 4: log c a log a b = log c b We remind the reader these properties will be helpful when we solving for the actual dimension of a fractals in the later chapters. 2.2 Topology Before we establish some conceptsof functions we need some other useful defnitions from Topology. We will not go into too much theory on the subject but the main theorem we will like to touch on is the Heine-Borel Theorem. 5 Defnition 2. A topology on a set X is a collection τ of subsets of X having the following properties: 1. ; and X are in τ 2. The union of the elements of any sub-collection of τ is in τ 3. The intersection of the elements of any fnite sub-collection of τ is in τ The set X for which a topology τ has been specifed is called a topological space. Defnition 3. If X is a topological space with topology τ, then the subset V of X is said to be an open set of X if V belongs to the collection τ. Defnition 4. A subset A of a topological space X is said to be closed if the set X − A is open.

    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.

In this paper, we flesh out the historiographical tensions arising from these confrontations: longue-duree´ history and revolution; abstract mathematics and the use of mathematical techniques in various other domains. After reviewing the historiography of dynamical systems theory from Poincar´e to the 1960s, we highlight the pioneering work of a few individuals (Steve Smale, Edward Lorenz, David Ruelle). We then go on to discuss the nature of the chaos phenomenon, which, we argue, was a conceptual reconfiguration as

  • Complex Numbers and Colors
    Complex Numbers and Colors For the sixth year, “Complex Beauties” provides you with a look into the wonderful world of complex functions and the life and work of mathematicians who contributed to our understanding of this field. As always, we intend to reach a diverse audience: While most explanations require some mathemati- cal background on the part of the reader, we hope non-mathematicians will find our “phase portraits” exciting and will catch a glimpse of the richness and beauty of complex functions. We would particularly like to thank our guest authors: Jonathan Borwein and Armin Straub wrote on random walks and corresponding moment functions and Jorn¨ Steuding contributed two articles, one on polygamma functions and the second on almost periodic functions. The suggestion to present a Belyi function and the possibility for the numerical calculations came from Donald Marshall; the November title page would not have been possible without Hrothgar’s numerical solution of the Bla- sius equation. The construction of the phase portraits is based on the interpretation of complex numbers z as points in the Gaussian plane. The horizontal coordinate x of the point representing z is called the real part of z (Re z) and the vertical coordinate y of the point representing z is called the imaginary part of z (Im z); we write z = x + iy. Alternatively, the point representing z can also be given by its distance from the origin (jzj, the modulus of z) and an angle (arg z, the argument of z). The phase portrait of a complex function f (appearing in the picture on the left) arises when all points z of the domain of f are colored according to the argument (or “phase”) of the value w = f (z).

Having fractal based digital signature scheme is possible due to the strong connection between the Mandelbrot and Julia fractal sets. The link between the two fractal sets used for the conversion of the private key to the public key. Mandelbrot fractal function takes the chosen private key as the input parameter and generates the corresponding public-key. Julia fractal function then used to sign the message with receiver's public key and verify the received message based on the receiver's private key. The propose scheme was resistant against attacks, utilizes small key size and performs comparatively faster than the existing DSA, RSA digital signature scheme. Fractal digital signature scheme was an attractive alternative to the traditional number theory digital signature scheme.

  • Montana Throne Molly Gupta Laura Brannan Fractals: a Visual Display of Mathematics Linear Algebra
    Montana Throne Molly Gupta Laura Brannan Fractals: A Visual Display of Mathematics Linear Algebra - Math 2270 Introduction: Fractals are infinite patterns that look similar at all levels of magnification and exist between the normal dimensions. With the advent of the computer, we can generate these complex structures to model natural structures around us such as blood vessels, heartbeat rhythms, trees, forests, and mountains, to name a few. I will begin by explaining how different linear transformations have been used to create fractals. Then I will explain how I have created fractals using linear transformations and include the computer-generated results. A Brief History: Fractals seem to be a relatively new concept in mathematics, but that may be because the term was coined only 43 years ago. It is in the century before Benoit Mandelbrot coined the term that the study of concepts now considered fractals really started to gain traction. The invention of the computer provided the computing power needed to generate fractals visually and further their study and interest. Expand on the ideas by century: 17th century ideas • Leibniz 19th century ideas • Karl Weierstrass • George Cantor • Felix Klein • Henri Poincare 20th century ideas • Helge von Koch • Waclaw Sierpinski • Gaston Julia • Pierre Fatou • Felix Hausdorff • Paul Levy • Benoit Mandelbrot • Lewis Fry Richardson • Loren Carpenter How They Work: Infinitely complex objects, revealed upon enlarging.

In the area of human capital management, obtaining a relatively long time series (TS) is difficult, and likewise nonlinear methods require at least 512 observations. In this research, we therefore suggest the application of a fractal interpolation scheme to generate ad hoc TS. When we inhibit the vertical scale factor, the proposed interpolation scheme has the effect of simulating the original TS. Keywords: human capital, wage, fractal interpolation, vertical scale factor 1. Introduction In nature, irregular processes exist that by using Euclidean models as their basis for analysis, do not capture the variety and complexity of the dynamics of their environment.

  • An Introduction to the Mandelbrot Set
    An introduction to the Mandelbrot set Bastian Fredriksson January 2015 1 Purpose and content The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the very useful subject of fractals. We will focus on the Mandelbrot set and the related Julia sets. I will show some ways of visualising these sets and how to make a program that renders them. Finally, I will explain a key exchange algorithm based on what we have learnt. 2 Introduction The Mandelbrot set and the Julia sets are sets of points in the complex plane. Julia sets were first studied by the French mathematicians Pierre Fatou and Gaston Julia in the early 20th century. However, at this point in time there were no computers, and this made it practically impossible to study the structure of the set more closely, since large amount of computational power was needed. Their discoveries was left in the dark until 1961, when a Jewish-Polish math- ematician named Benoit Mandelbrot began his research at IBM. His task was to reduce the white noise that disturbed the transmission on telephony lines [3]. It seemed like the noise came in bursts, sometimes there were a lot of distur- bance, and sometimes there was no disturbance at all. Also, if you examined a period of time with a lot of noise-problems, you could still find periods without noise [4]. Could it be possible to come up with a model that explains when there is noise or not? Mandelbrot took a quite radical approach to the problem at hand, and chose to visualise the data.
