Resonance between Cantor sets
2007
Let $C_a$ be the central Cantor set obtained by removing a central interval of length $1-2a$ from the unit interval, and continuing this process inductively on each of the remaining two intervals. We prove that if $\log b/\log a$ is irrational, then \[ \dim(C_a+C_b) = \min(\dim(C_a) + \dim(C_b),1), \] where $\dim$ is Hausdorff dimension. More generally, given two self-similar sets $K,K'$ in $\RR$ and a scaling parameter $s>0$, if the dimension of the arithmetic sum $K+sK'$ is strictly smaller than $\dim(K)+\dim(K') \le 1$ (``geometric resonance''), then there exists $r<1$ such that all contraction ratios of the similitudes defining $K$ and $K'$ are powers of $r$ (``algebraic resonance…
On the existence of conditionally invariant probability measures in dynamical systems
2000
Let T : X→X be a measurable map defined on a Polish space X and let Y be a non-trivial subset of X. We give conditions ensuring the existence of conditionally invariant probability measures to non-absorption in Y. For dynamics which are non-singular with respect to some fixed probability measure we supply sufficient conditions for the existence of absolutely continuous conditionally invariant measures. These conditions are satisfied for a wide class of dynamical systems including systems that are Φ-mixing and Gibbs.
Dimensions of random affine code tree fractals
2014
We calculate the almost sure Hausdorff dimension for a general class of random affine planar code tree fractals. The set of probability measures describing the randomness includes natural measures in random $V$-variable and homogeneous Markov constructions.
Admissible perturbations of alpha-psi-pseudocontractive operators: convergence theorems
2016
In the last decades, the study of convergence of fixed point iterative methods has received an increasing attention, due to their performance as tools for solving numerical problems. As a consequence of this fact, one can access to a wide literature on iterative schemes involving different types of operators; see [2, 4, 5]. We point out that fixed point iterative approximation methods have been largely applied in dealing with stability and convergence problems; see [1, 6]. In particular, we refer to various control and optimization questions arising in pure and applied sciences involving dynamical systems, where the problem in study can be easily arranged as a fixed point problem. Then, we …
The pianigiani-yorke measure for topological markov chains
1997
We prove the existence of a Pianigiani-Yorke measure for a Markovian factor of a topological Markov chain. This measure induces a Gibbs measure in the limit set. The proof uses the contraction properties of the Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius operator.
Maximal function estimates and self-improvement results for Poincaré inequalities
2018
Our main result is an estimate for a sharp maximal function, which implies a Keith–Zhong type self-improvement property of Poincaré inequalities related to differentiable structures on metric measure spaces. As an application, we give structure independent representation for Sobolev norms and universality results for Sobolev spaces. peerReviewed
Topological classification of gradient-like diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds
2004
Abstract We give a complete invariant, called global scheme , of topological conjugacy classes of gradient-like diffeomorphisms, on compact 3-manifolds. Conversely, we can realize any abstract global scheme by such a diffeomorphism.
Context Trees, Variable Length Markov Chains and Dynamical Sources
2012
Infinite random sequences of letters can be viewed as stochastic chains or as strings produced by a source, in the sense of information theory. The relationship between Variable Length Markov Chains (VLMC) and probabilistic dynamical sources is studied. We establish a probabilistic frame for context trees and VLMC and we prove that any VLMC is a dynamical source for which we explicitly build the mapping. On two examples, the "comb" and the "bamboo blossom", we find a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence and the uniqueness of a stationary probability measure for the VLMC. These two examples are detailed in order to provide the associated Dirichlet series as well as the genera…
Conjugate unstable manifolds and their underlying geometrized Markov partitions
2000
Abstract Conjugate unstable manifolds of saturated hyperbolic sets of Smale diffeomorphisms are characterized in terms of the combinatorics of their geometrized Markov partitions. As a consequence, the relationship between the local and the global point of view is also made explicit.
Transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds
2005
Abstract The known examples of transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds belong to 3 basic classes: perturbations of skew products over an Anosov map of T 2 , perturbations of the time one map of a transitive Anosov flow, and certain derived from Anosov diffeomorphisms of the torus T 3 . In this work we characterize the two first types by a local hypothesis associated to one closed periodic curve.
