En esta tesis se explora experimentalmente el comportamiento multibanda que le da una característica multifuncional al diseño de la antena. Se busca demostrar que gracias a la autosimilitud o autosimilaridad del fractal, la antena responda con un comportamiento multibanda.

We identify three structures that lie in the parameter plane of the rational map F(z) = zⁿ + λ / zᵈ, for which z is a complex number, λ a complex parameter, n ≥ 4 is even, and d ≥ 3 is odd. There exists a Sierpindelbrot arc, an infinite sequence of pairs of Mandelbrot sets and Sierpinski holes, that limits to the parameter at the end of the arc. There exists as well a qualitatively different Sierpindelbrot arc, an infinite sequence of pairs of Mandelbrot sets and Sierpinski holes, that limits to the parameter at the center of the arc. Furthermore, there exist infinitely many arcs of each type. A parameter can travel along a continuous path from the Cantor set locus, along infinitely many arcs of the first type in a successively smaller region of the parameter plane, while passing through an arc of the second type, to the parameter at the center of the latter arc. This infinite sequence of Sierpindelbrot arcs is a Sierpinski Mandelbrot spiral.

The dissertation is organized into two main parts. The first part considers fractal extension operators. Although extension operators are available for general subsets of Euclidean domains or metric spaces, our extension operator is unique in that it utilizes both the iterative nature of the fractal and finite element approximations to construct the operator. The resulting operator is especially well suited for future numerical work on domains with prefractal boundaries. In the dissertation we prove the existence of a linear extension operator, Π from the space of Hölder continuous functions on a fractal set S to the space of Hölder continuous functions on a larger domain Ω. Moreover this same extension operator maps functions of finite energy on the fractal to H1 functions on the larger domain Ω. In the second part, we consider boundary value problems in domains with fractal boundaries. First we consider the Sierpinski prefractal and how we might apply the technique of singular homogenization to thin layers constructed on the prefractal. We will also discuss numerical approximation in domains with fractal boundaries and introduce a finite element mesh developed for studying problems in domains with prefractal Koch boundaries. This mesh exploits the self-similarity of the Koch curve for arbitrary rational values of α and its construction is crucial for future numerical study of problems in domains with prefractal Koch curve boundaries. We also show a technique for mesh refinement so that singularities in the domain can be handled and present sample numerical results for the transmission problem.

The purpose of this paper is to construct sets, measures and energy forms of certain mixed nested fractals which are spatially homogeneous but not strictly self-similar. We start with the constructions of regular nested fractals, such as Sierpinski gaskets and Koch curves, by employing the iterated map system. Then we show that under the open set condition, the unique invariant (self-similar) measure consists with the normalized Hausdorff measure ristricted on the invariant set. The energy forms construced on regular Sierpinski gaskets and Koch curves is also proved to be a closed form. Next, we use the similar idea, by extending the iterated maps system into a general case, to construct the mixture sets, as well as measures and energy forms. It can be seen that the elements so constructed will not have any strict self-similarity, but them indeed satisfy some weak self-similar properties.

Quantum walks are the quantum mechanical analogue of classical random walks. Discrete-time quantum walks have been introduced and studied mostly on the line Z or higher dimensional space Z d but rarely defined on graphs with fractal dimensions because the coin operator depends on the position and the Fourier transform on the fractals is not defined. Inspired by its nature of classical walks, different quantum walks will be defined by choosing different shift and coin operators. When the coin operator is uniform, the results of classical walks will be obtained upon measurement at each step. Moreover, with measurement at each step, our results reveal more information about the classical random walks. In this dissertation, two graphs with fractal dimensions will be considered. The first one is Sierpinski gasket, a degree-4 regular graph with Hausdorff di- mension of df = ln 3/ ln 2. The second is the Cantor graph derived like Cantor set, with Hausdorff dimension of df = ln 2/ ln 3. The definitions and amplitude functions of the quantum walks will be introduced. The main part of this dissertation is to derive a recursive formula to compute the amplitude Green function. The exiting probability will be computed and compared with the classical results. When the generation of graphs goes to infinity, the recursion of the walks will be investigated and the convergence rates will be obtained and compared with the classical counterparts. / Mathematics

This master’s thesis describes the theoretical analysis of the Sierpinski triangle structure. On the basis of this structure, a planar version of the Sierpinski monopole is firstly designed. Then, by using a transfer of the planar motive to the conical surface, conical and cascade Sierpinski monopoles are designed. All simulations are calculated by CST Microwave Studio 2011. In the thesis, four types of cascade Sierpinski monopole are proposed. The investigated parameters are reflection coefficient, input impedance, radiation properties, polarization and bandwidth. The attention is primarily focused on the design and experimental verification of the selected conical shape cascade Sierpinski monopole set on the bands GSM 900, GSM 1800 and Wi-fi 2,4 GHz.

Cette thèse est constituée de cinq parties distinctes. La première partie est consacrée au problème de rigidité quasi-symétrique associé à un nouveau modèle de tapis de Sierpinski, qui ne sont pas quasi-symétriquement équivalent aux tapis de Sierpinski usuels. La seconde partie est une discussion portant sur la géométrie quasi-symétrique des ensembles de tapis de Julia, incluant en outre le quasi-cercle uniforme, ainsi que certaines propriétés de séparation uniforme. Lors de la troisième partie, nous déterminerons une condition permettant de savoir quand deux rayons externes d'un polynôme tendent vers un même point. Comme application, nous montrerons également la monotonie de l'entropie associée à une famille de polynômes quadratiques. La quatrième partie est inspirée du travail récent de Cui Guizhen et Tan Lei. En utilisant des outils classiques (module d'anneau et chirurgie quasi-conforme), nous étudierons la convergence de certains rayons en campagne locus espace des paramètres. Enfin, la dernière partie pore sur la famille des transformations de renormalisations générées. Plus précisément, cette partie abordera la connexité de ces ensembles de Julia, et le lieu de confinement dans l'espace des paramètres, ainsi que la formule asymptotique de la dimension d'Hausdorff des ensembles de Julia. / The thesis consists of five parts. The first part is concerned with the quasisymmetric rigidity of a new Sierpinski carpet, which are not quasis-ymmetrically equivalent to the standard Sierpinski carpets. The second part discusses the quasisymmetrically geometry of the carpet Julia sets, including the uniformly quasicircle and uniformly separated properties. The third part is to determine when two external rays of a polynomial land at the same point. As an application, we also show the monotonicity of core-entropy on a family of quadratic polynomials. In the fourth part, following Cui and Tan's work, we use the classic tools modulus of annulus and quasi-conformal surgery to study the landing of some parameter rays in shift locus parameter space. The last part discusses a family of generated renormal-ization transformations. Specifically, it is on the connec-tivity of its Julia sets and the non-escaping locus in its parameter space, the asymptotic formula of the Hausdorff dimention of the Julia sets.

In dieser Arbeit werden verschieden Ansätze diskutiert, die zum Verständnis und zur Beschreibung anomalen Diffusionsverhaltens beitragen, wobei insbesondere zwei unterschiedliche Aspekte hervorgehoben werden. Zum einen wird das Entropieproduktions-Paradoxon beschrieben, welches bei der Analyse der Entropieproduktion bei der anomalen Diffusion, beschrieben durch fraktionale Diffusionsgleichungen auftritt. Andererseits wird ein detaillierter Vergleich zwischen Lösungen verallgemeinerter Diffusionsgleichungen mit numerischen Daten präsentiert, die durch Iteration der Mastergleichung auf verschiedenen Fraktalen produziert worden sind. Die Entropieproduktionsrate für superdiffusive Prozesse wird berechnet und zeigt einen unerwarteten Anstieg beim Übergang von dissipativer Diffusion zur reversiblen Wellenausbreitung. Dieses Entropieproduktions-Paradoxon ist die direkte Konsequenz einer anwachsenden intrinsischen Rate bei Prozessen mit zunehmendem Wellencharakter. Nach Berücksichtigung dieser Rate zeigt die Entropie den erwarteten monotonen Abfall. Diese Überlegungen werden für generalisierte Entropiedefinitionen, wie die Tsallis- und Renyi-Entropien, fortgeführt. Der zweite Aspekt bezieht sich auf die anomale Diffusion auf Fraktalen, im Besonderen auf Sierpinski-Dreiecke und -Teppiche. Die entsprechenden Mastergleichungen werden iteriert und die auf diese Weise numerisch gewonnenen Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen werden mit den Lösungen vier verschiedener verallgemeinerter Diffusionsgleichungen verglichen.

An important part of mathematics is the construction of good definitions. Some things, like planar graphs, are trivial to define, and other concepts, like compact sets, arise from putting a name on often used requirements (although the notion of compactness has changed over time to be more general). In other cases, such as in set theory, the natural definitions may yield undesired and even contradictory results, and it can be necessary to use a more complicated formalization.    The notion of a curve falls in the latter category. While it is intuitively clear what a curve is – line segments, empty geometric shapes, and squiggles like this: – it is not immediately clear how to make a general definition of curves. Their most obvious characteristic is that they have no width, so one idea may be to view curves as what can be drawn with a thin pen. This definition, however, has the weakness that even such a line has the ability to completely fill a square, making it a bad definition of curves. Today curves are generally defined by the condition of having no width, that is, being one-dimensional, together with the conditions of being compact and connected, to avoid strange cases.    In this thesis we investigate this definition and a few examples of curves.

In the context of fractal geometry, the natural extension of volume in Euclidean space is given by Hausdorff and packing measures. These measures arise naturally in the context of iterated function systems (IFS). For example, if the IFS is finite and conformal, then the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the limit sets agree and the corresponding Hausdorff and packing measures are positive and finite. Moreover, the map which takes the IFS to its dimension is continuous. Developing on previous work, we show that the map which takes a finite conformal IFS to the numerical value of its packing measure is continuous. In the context of self-similar sets, we introduce the super separation condition. We then combine this condition with known density theorems to get a better handle on finding balls of maximum density. This allows us to extend the work of others and give exact formulas for the numerical value of packing measure for classes of Cantor sets, Sierpinski N-gons, and Sierpinski simplexes.
