Metric properties of alternating Lüroth series
If (X,d) is a metric space then a map f: X → X is defined to be a weak contraction if d(f(x),f(y)) < d(x,y) for all x,y ∈ X, x ≠ y. We determine the simplest non-closed sets X ⊆ ℝⁿ in the sense of descriptive set-theoretic complexity such that every weak contraction f: X → X is constant. In order to do so, we prove that there exists a non-closed set F ⊆ ℝ such that every weak contraction f: F → F is constant. Similarly, there exists a non-closed set G ⊆ ℝ such that every weak contraction...
Motivated by the concept of tangent measures and by H. Fürstenberg’s definition of microsets of a compact set we introduce micro tangent sets and central micro tangent sets of continuous functions. It turns out that the typical continuous function has a rich (universal) micro tangent set structure at many points. The Brownian motion, on the other hand, with probability one does not have graph like, or central graph like micro tangent sets at all. Finally we show that at almost all points Takagi’s...
Every aperiodic endomorphism of a nonatomic Lebesgue space which possesses a finite 1-sided generator has a 1-sided generator such that . This is the best estimate for the minimal cardinality of a 1-sided generator. The above result is the generalization of the analogous one for ergodic case.
We prove that on a metrizable, compact, zero-dimensional space every -action with no periodic points is measurably isomorphic to a minimal -action with the same, i.e. affinely homeomorphic, simplex of measures.
An effective construction of positive-entropy almost one-to-one topological extensions of the Chacón flow is given. These extensions have the property of almost minimal power joinings. For each possible value of entropy there are uncountably many pairwise non-conjugate such extensions.
We prove existence of minimizing movements for the dislocation dynamics evolution law of a propagating front, in which the normal velocity of the front is the sum of a non-local term and a mean curvature term. We prove that any such minimizing movement is a weak solution of this evolution law, in a sense related to viscosity solutions of the corresponding level-set equation. We also prove the consistency of this approach, by showing that any minimizing movement coincides with the smooth evolution...
The classical Steinhaus theorem on the Minkowski sum of the Cantor set is generalized to a large class of fractals determined by Hutchinson-type operators. Numerous examples illustrating the results obtained and an application to t-convex functions are presented.
