Let M be a d × d real contracting matrix. We consider the self-affine iterated function system Mv-u, Mv+u, where u is a cyclic vector. Our main result is as follows: if $\left|detM\right|\ge 2^{-1/d}$, then the attractor $A_M$ has non-empty interior. We also consider the set ${}_M$ of points in $A_M$ which have a unique address. We show that unless M belongs to a very special (non-generic) class, the Hausdorff dimension of ${}_M$ is positive. For this special class the full description of ${}_M$ is given as well. This paper continues our work begun...

We consider the multifractal analysis for Birkhoff averages of continuous potentials on a class of non-conformal repellers corresponding to the self-affine limit sets studied by Lalley and Gatzouras. A conditional variational principle is given for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points for which the Birkhoff averages converge to a given value. This extends a result of Barral and Mensi to certain non-conformal maps with a measure dependent Lyapunov exponent.

The multifractal generalizations of Hausdorff dimension and packing dimension are investigated for an invariant subset A of a piecewise monotonic map on the interval. Formulae for the multifractal dimension of an ergodic invariant measure, the essential multifractal dimension of A, and the multifractal Hausdorff dimension of A are derived.

We study the entropy spectrum of Birkhoff averages and the dimension spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for piecewise monotone transformations on the interval. In general, these transformations do not have finite Markov partitions and do not satisfy the specification property. We characterize these multifractal spectra in terms of the Legendre transform of a suitably defined pressure function.

Net (X,ℱ,ν) be a σ-finite measure space. Associated with k Lamperti operators on $L^p\left(\nu \right)$, $T₁,...,T_k$, $n̅=(n₁,...,n_k)\in {\mathbb{N}}^k$ and $\alpha ̅=(\alpha ₁,...,{\alpha }_k)$ with $0<{\alpha }_j\le 1$, we define the ergodic Cesàro-α̅ averages ${}_{n̅,\alpha ̅}f=1/\left({\prod }_{j=1}^k{A}_{n_j}^{{\alpha }_j}\right){\sum }_{i_k=0}^{n_k}\cdots {\sum }_{i₁=0}^{n₁}{\prod }_{j=1}^k{A}_{n_j-i_j}^{{\alpha }_j-1}{T}_k^{i_k}\cdots T{₁}^{i₁}f$. For these averages we prove the almost everywhere convergence on X and the convergence in the $L^p\left(\nu \right)$ norm, when $n₁,...,n_k\to \infty$ independently, for all $f\in L^p\left(d\nu \right)$ with p > 1/α⁎ where $\alpha ⁎=mi{n}_{1\le j\le k}{\alpha }_j$. In the limit case p = 1/α⁎, we prove that the averages ${}_{n̅,\alpha ̅}f$ converge almost everywhere on X for all f in the Orlicz-Lorentz space $\Lambda (1/\alpha ⁎,{\phi }_{m-1})$ with $\phi ₘ\left(t\right)=t{(1+log⁺t)}^m$. To obtain the result in the limit case we need to study...

We examine multiple disjointness of minimal flows, that is, we find conditions under which the product of a collection of minimal flows is itself minimal. Our main theorem states that, for a collection ${X_i}_{i\in I}$ of minimal flows with a common phase group, assuming each flow satisfies certain structural and algebraic conditions, the product ${\prod }_{i\in I}{X}_i$ is minimal if and only if ${\prod }_{i\in I}{X}_i^{eq}$ is minimal, where $X_i^{eq}$ is the maximal equicontinuous factor of $X_i$. Most importantly, this result holds when each $X_i$ is distal. When the phase...

This article discusses a prey-predator system with cross-diffusion. We obtain multiple positive steady-state solutions of this system. More precisely, we prove that the set of positive steady-states possibly contains an S or ⊃-shaped branch with respect to a bifurcation parameter in the large cross-diffusion case. Next we give some criteria on the stability of these positive steady-states. Furthermore, we find the Hopf bifurcation point on the steady-state solution branch in a certain case. Our...
