Nowhere Differentiable Curves

چکیده
We consider a family of smooth maps on an infinite cylinder which have invariant curves that are nowhere smooth. Most points on such a curve are buried deep within its spiked structure, and the outermost exposed points of the curve constitute an invariant subset which we call the "facade" of the curve. We find that for surprisingly many of the maps in the family, all points in the facades of their invariant curves are eventually periodic.

Existence of Nowhere Differentiable Boundaries in a Realistic Map
If the world is a differential equation, as Boltzmann thought, the problem of the origin of the "nowhere differentiable nature of reality" (cf. Mandelbrot [1]) poses itself [2]. To our knowledge, only two differentiable maps exist in the literature which produce nowhere differentiable behavior, the 3-D diffeomorphisms indicated by Grebogi et al. [3] and by Kaneko [4], The first map [3] which co...

The aim of our work is to specify and develop a geometric modeler, based on the formalism of iterated function systems with the following objectives: access to a new universe of original, various, aesthetic shapes, modeling of conventional shapes (smooth surfaces, solids) and unconventional shapes (rough surfaces, porous solids) by defining and controlling the relief (surface state) and lacunar...

Motivated by his study of 2nd order differential equations a(z)w" + b(z)W + c(z)w = 0 Poincaré (1882) unveiled the vast subject of discrete subgroups of conformai transformations, (z -»(az + b)/(cz + d)}9 their associated Riemann surfaces, and the intricacies of the limit set—Cantor sets, nowhere differentiable curves, etc. In this paper we discuss an interplay between discrete conformai groups...
متن کاملFractional differentiability of nowhere differentiable functions and dimensions.
Weierstrass's everywhere continuous but nowhere differentiable function is shown to be locally continuously fractionally differentiable everywhere for all orders below the "critical order" 2-s and not so for orders between 2-s and 1, where s, 1<s<2 is the box dimension of the graph of the function. This observation is consolidated in the general result showing a direct connection between local ...
