Tiling Properties Of Spectra Of Measures, John Haussermann Jan 2014

Tiling Properties Of Spectra Of Measures, John Haussermann

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

We investigate tiling properties of spectra of measures, i.e., sets Λ in R such that {e 2πiλx : λ ∈ Λ} forms an orthogonal basis in L 2 (µ), where µ is some finite Borel measure on R. Such measures include Lebesgue measure on bounded Borel subsets, finite atomic measures and some fractal Hausdorff measures. We show that various classes of such spectra of measures have translational tiling properties. This lead to some surprizing tiling properties for spectra of fractal measures, the existence of complementing sets and spectra for finite sets with the Coven-Meyerowitz property, the existence of complementing Hadamard …


Fractal Interpolation, Gayatri Ramesh Jan 2008

Fractal Interpolation, Gayatri Ramesh

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is devoted to a study about Fractals and Fractal Polynomial Interpolation. Fractal Interpolation is a great topic with many interesting applications, some of which are used in everyday lives such as television, camera, and radio. The thesis is comprised of eight chapters. Chapter one contains a brief introduction and a historical account of fractals. Chapter two is about polynomial interpolation processes such as Newton s, Hermite, and Lagrange. Chapter three focuses on iterated function systems. In this chapter I report results contained in Barnsley s paper, Fractal Functions and Interpolation. I also mention results on iterated function system …
