Tube Formulas for Self-Similar Fractals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tube formulas (by which we mean an explicit formula for the volume of an (inner) ε-neighbourhood of a subset of a suitable metric space) have been used in many situations to study properties of the subset. For smooth submanifolds of Euclidean space, this includes Weyl’s celebrated results on spectral asymptotics, and the subsequent relation between curvature and spectrum. Additionally, a tube formula contains information about the dimension and measurability of rough sets. In convex geometry, the tube formula of a convex subset of Euclidean space allows for the definition of certain curvature measures. These measures describe the curvature of sets which may be too irregular to support derivatives. In this survey paper, we describe some recent advances in the development of tube formulas for self-similar fractals, and their applications and connections to the other topics mentioned here.

Minkowski Measurability Results for Self-Similar Tilings and Fractals with Monophase Generators
In a previous paper [21], the authors obtained tube formulas for certain fractals under rather general conditions. Based on these formulas, we give here a characterization of Minkowski measurability of a certain class of self-similar tilings and self-similar sets. Under appropriate hypotheses, self-similar tilings with simple generators (more precisely, monophase generators) are shown to be Min...
متن کاملSelf-similar fractals and arithmetic dynamics
The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a finite and disjoint union of `similar' copies. Fractals provide a framework in which, one can unite some results and conjectures in Diophantine g...
متن کاملTube Formulas and Complex Dimensions of Self-Similar Tilings
We extend some aspects of the theory of fractal strings and their complex dimensions from the real line to general Euclidean spaces. This is accomplished by using the explicit formulas and techniques of [La-vF4]. We use the self-similar tilings constructed in [Pe1] to define a zeta function which encodes the scaling properties of the tiling. This allows us to define a generating function for th...
متن کاملSpectral Zeta Functions of Fractals and the Complex Dynamics of Polynomials
We obtain formulas for the spectral zeta function of the Laplacian on symmetric finitely ramified fractals, such as the Sierpiński gasket, and a fractal Laplacian on the interval. These formulas contain a new type of zeta function associated with a polynomial (rational functions also can appear in this context). It is proved that this zeta function has a meromorphic continuation to a half plain...
متن کاملSelf - Assembly of Discrete Self - Similar Fractals ( extended abstract ) ∗
In this paper, we search for absolute limitations of the Tile Assembly Model (TAM), along with techniques to work around such limitations. Specifically, we investigate the self-assembly of fractal shapes in the TAM. We prove that no self-similar fractal fully weakly self-assembles at temperature 1, and that certain kinds of self-similar fractals do not strictly self-assemble at any temperature....
