Estimates on the Spectrum of Fractals Arising From Affine Iterations
Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen
In the first section we review recent results on the harmonic analysis of fractals generated by iterated function systems with emphasis on spectral duality. Classical harmonic anal…
How large are the spectral gaps?
Alex Iosevich, Steen Pedersen
Let be a bounded domain in whose boundary has a Minkowski dimension . Suppose that , an infinite discrete subset o…
Fourier bases and a distance problem of Erd\H os
Alex Iosevich, Nets Katz, Steen Pedersen
We prove that no ball admits a non-harmonic orthogonal basis of exponentials. We use a combinatorial result, originally studied by Erd\H os, which says that the number of distances…
Commuting self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators defined from the partial derivatives
Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen
We consider the problem of finding commuting self-adjoint extensions of the partial derivatives {(1/i)(\partial/\partial x_j):j=1,...,d} with domain C_c^\infty(Ω) where the self-ad…
Orthogonal harmonic analysis and scaling of fractal measures
Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen
We show that certain iteration systems lead to fractal measures admitting exact orthogonal harmonic analysis.
Spectral pairs in Cartesian coordinates
Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Steen Pedersen
Let have finite positive Lebesgue measure, and let be the corresponding Hilbert space of -functions on . We shall con…
