Fractal geometry, complex dimensions and zeta functions : geometry and spectra of fractal strings by Michel L Lapidus( Book )

32 editions published between 2006 and 2014 in English and held by 350 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Number theory, spectral geometry, and fractal geometry are interlinked in this in-depth study of the vibrations of fractal strings, that is, one-dimensional drums with fractal boundary. Key Features The Riemann hypothesis is given a natural geometric reformulation in the context of vibrating fractal strings Complex dimensions of a fractal string, defined as the poles of an associated zeta function, are studied in detail, then used to understand the oscillations intrinsic to the corresponding fractal geometries and frequency spectra Explicit formulas are extended to apply to the geometric, spectral, and dynamical zeta functions associated with a fractal Examples of such explicit formulas include a Prime Orbit Theorem with error term for self-similar flows, and a geometric tube formula The method of Diophantine approximation is used to study self-similar strings and flows Analytical and geometric methods are used to obtain new results about the vertical distribution of zeros of number-theoretic and other zeta functions Throughout new results are examined. The final chapter gives a new definition of fractality as the presence of nonreal complex dimensions with positive real parts, and discusses several open problems and extensions. The significant studies and problems illuminated in this work may be used in a classroom setting at the graduate level. Fractal Geometry, Complex Dimensions and Zeta Functions will appeal to students and researchers in number theory, fractal geometry, dynamical systems, spectral geometry, and mathematical physics. From Reviews of Fractal Geometry and Number Theory: Complex Dimensions of Fractal Strings and Zeros of Zeta Functions, by Michel Lapidus and Machiel van Frankenhuysen, Birkhäuser Boston Inc., 2000. "This highly original self-contained book will appeal to geometers, fractalists, mathematical physicists and number theorists, as well as to graduate students in these fields and others interested in gaining insight into these rich areas either for its own sake or with a view to applications. They will find it a stimulating guide, well written in a clear and pleasant style." -Mathematical Reviews "It is the reviewer's opinion that the authors have succeeded in showing that the complex dimensions provide a very natural and unifying mathematical framework for investigating the oscillations in the geometry and the spectrum of a fractal string. The book is well written. The exposition is self-contained, intelligent and well paced." -Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
The Feynman integral and Feynman's operational calculus by Gerald W Johnson( Book )

26 editions published between 2000 and 2010 in English and held by 347 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This book provides the most comprehensive mathematical treatment to date of the Feynman path integral and Feynman's operational calculus. It is accessible to mathematicians, mathematical physicists and theoretical physicists. Including new results and much material previously only available in the research literature, this book discusses both the mathematics and physics background that motivate the study of the Feynman path integral and Feynman's operational calculus, and also provides more detailed proofs of the central results
In search of the Riemann zeros : strings, fractal membranes and noncommutative spacetimes by Michel L Lapidus( Book )

10 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 277 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Formulated in 1859, the Riemann Hypothesis is the most celebrated and multifaceted open problem in mathematics. In essence, it states that the primes are distributed as harmoniously as possible--or, equivalently, that the Riemann zeros are located on a single vertical line, called the critical line

Generalized Dyson series, generalized Feynman diagrams, the Feynman integral, and Feynman's operational calculus by Gerald W Johnson( Book )

14 editions published between 1985 and 1986 in English and held by 232 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Generalized Minkowski content, spectrum of fractal drums, fractal strings, and the Riemann-zeta-function by Christina Q He( Book )

11 editions published in 1997 in English and held by 231 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

In this work, we will extend most of these results by using, in particular, the notion of generalized Minkowski content which is defined through some suitable 'gauge functions' other than the power functions. (This content is used to measure the irregularity (or 'fractality') of the boundary $\Gamma=\partial\Omega).$ In the situation when the power function is not the natural 'gauge function', this will enable us to obtain more precise estimates, with a broader potential range of applications than in the above papers
Harmonic analysis and nonlinear differential equations : a volume in honor of Victor L. Shapiro : November 3-5, 1995, University of California, Riverside by Conference on Analysis and Partial Differential Equations( Book )

16 editions published in 1997 in English and held by 229 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This volume is a collection of papers dealing with harmonic analysis and nonlinear differential equations and stems from a conference on these two areas and their interface held in November 1995 at the University of California, Riverside, in honor of V.L. Shapiro. There are four papers dealing directly with the use of harmonic analysis techniques to solve challenging problems in nonlinear partial differential equations. There are also several survey articles on recent developments in multiple trigonometric series, dyadic harmonic analysis, special functions, analysis on fractals, and shock waves, as well as papers with new results in nonlinear differential equations. These survey articles, along with several of the research articles, cover a wide variety of applications such as turbulence, general relativity and black holes, neural networks, and diffusion and wave propagation in porous media. A number of the papers contain open problems in their respective areas
