We study the distribution of the complex temperature zeros for the partition function of the Ising model on a Sierpinski gasket using an exact recursive relation. Although the zeros arrange on a curve pinching the real axis at T = 0 in the thermodynamic limit, their density vanishes asymptotically along the curve approaching the origin. This phenomenon explains the coincidence of the low temper...

We explore in depth the theory behind deterministic fractals by investigat­ ing transformations on metric spaces and the contraction mapping theorem. In doing so we introduce the notion of the Hausdorff distance metric and its connection to the space of fractals. In order to understand how deterministic fractals are generated, we develop the concept of an iterated function system (IFS) and what...

Some problems related to the transition density u(t, x) of the diffusion on the Sierpinski gasket are considerd, based on recent rigorous results and detailed numerical calculations. The main contents are an extension of Flory’s formula for the end-to-end distance exponent of self-avoiding walks on the fractal spaces, and an evidence of the oscillatory behavior of u(t, x) on the Sierpinski gask...

We consider a random version of the McMullen–Bedford general Sierpinski carpet which is constructed by randomly choosing patterns in each step instead of a single pattern in its original form. Their Hausdorff, packing and box-counting dimensions are determined. A sufficient condition and a necessary condition for the Hausdorff measures in their dimensions to be positive are given. As an applica...

In this paper, we consider a large variety of solutions for the generation of Sierpinski triangles, one of the case studies for the AGTIVE graph transformation tool contest [15]. A Sierpinski triangle shows a well-known fractal structure. This case study is mostly a performance benchmark, involving the construction of all triangles up to a certain number of iterations. Both time and space perfo...

Many biological processes and objects can be described by fractals. The paper uses a new type of objects – blinking fractals – that are not covered by traditional theories considering dynamics of self-similarity processes. It is shown that both traditional and blinking fractals can be successfully studied by a recent approach allowing one to work numerically with infinite and infinitesimal numb...

Fractals are self-similar images. There are many techniques for generating fractals. IFS are one of them. IFS use a set of linear transformations for generation of fractals. We propose a method of modifying IFS such that non-linear transformations can be used for generating pleasant looking fractals. We also show a technique which ensures convergence of the fractal Images. Non-linear fractals h...
