Critical states and fractal attractors in fractal tongues: localization in the Harper map.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Localized states of Harper's equation correspond to strange nonchaotic attractors in the related Harper mapping. In parameter space, these fractal attractors with nonpositive Lyapunov exponents occur in fractally organized tongue-like regions which emanate from the Cantor set of eigenvalues on the critical line epsilon=1. A topological invariant characterizes wave functions corresponding to energies in the gaps in the spectrum. This permits a unique integer labeling of the gaps and also determines their scaling properties as a function of potential strength.

M ay 2 00 1 Dynamics of the Harper map : Localized states , Cantor spectra and Strange nonchaotic attractors
The Harper (or “almost Mathieu”) equation plays an important role in studies of localization. Through a simple transformation, this equation can be converted into an iterative two dimensional skew–product mapping of the cylinder to itself. Localized states of the Harper system correspond to fractal attractors with nonpositive maximal Lyapunov exponent in the dynamics of the associated Harper ma...
متن کاملCritical Localization and Strange Nonchaotic Dynamics: The Fibonacci Chain
The discrete Schrödinger equation with a quasiperiodic dichotomous potential specified by the Fibonacci sequence is known to have a singular continuous eigenvalue spectrum with all states being critically localized. This equation can be transformed into a quasiperiodic skew product dynamical system. In this iterative mapping which is entirely equivalent to the Schrödinger problem, critically lo...

Power spectrum – area fractal (S-A fractal) method has been frequently applied for geochemical anomaly mapping. Some researchers have performed this method for separation of geochemical anomaly, background and noise and have delineated their distribution maps. In this research, surface geochemical data of Zafarghand Cu-Mo mineralization area have been utilized and some defects of S-A fractal me...
