چکیده
The fractal dimension of an attracting torus Tk in lR x T" is shown to be almost always equal to the Lyapunov dimension as predicted by a previous conjecture. The cases studied here can have several Lyapunov nulJ!bers greater than I and several less than I

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...
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 ...
متن کاملLyapunov Exponents for Continuous Transformations and Dimension Theory
We generalize the concept of Lyapunov exponent to transformations that are not necessarily differentiable. For fairly large classes of repellers and of hyperbolic sets of differentiable maps, the new exponents are shown to coincide with the classical ones. We also discuss the relation of the new Lyapunov exponents with the dimension theory of dynamical systems for invariant sets of continuous t...
متن کاملTorus Bundles over a Torus
1. If a compact Lie group P acts on a completely regular topological space E then E is said to be a principal P-bundle if whenever the relation px — x holds for pÇzP, x£E it follows that p = e, the identity of P. The orbit space X = E/P is called the base space and the map tt: E—>X carrying y into its orbit P-y is called the projection. Suppose now that G is a Lie group, 77i a closed subgroup o...
متن کاملThe improper infinite derivatives of Takagi’s nowhere-differentiable function
Let T be Takagi’s continuous but nowhere-differentiable function. Using a representation in terms of Rademacher series due to N. Kono [Acta Math. Hungar. 49 (1987)], we give a complete characterization of those points where T has a left-sided, right-sided, or two-sided infinite derivative. This characterization is illustrated by several examples. A consequence of the main result is that the set...
