Self-similarity is a common tendency in nature and physics. It is wide spread in geo-physical phenomena like diffusion and iteration. Physically, an object is self-similar if it is invariant under a set of scaling transformation. This paper gives a brief outline of the analytical and set theoretical properties of different types of weak self-similar sets. It is proved that weak sub self-similar sets are closed under finite union. Weak sub self-similar property of the topological boundary of a weak self-similar set is also discussed. The denseness of non-weak super self-similar sets in the set of all non-empty compact subsets of a separable complete metric space is established. It is proved that the power of weak self-similar sets are weak super self-similar in the product metric and weak self-similarity is preserved under isometry. A characterization of weak super self-similar sets using weak sub contractions is also presented. Exact weak sub and super self-similar sets are introduced in this paper and some necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of weak condensation IFS are presented. A condition for a set to be both exact weak super and sub self-similar is obtained and the denseness of exact weak super self similar sets in the set of all weak self-similar sets is discussed.

In this paper we study self-similarity of free stochastic processes. We establish the noncommutative counterpart of Lamperti's self-similar processes. We develop the characterization of noncommutative self-similar processes through a modification of Voiculescu transform, the free cumulant transform. We study the connection between free self-similarity, strict ⊞-stability and ⊞-self-decomposability. In particular, we derive the properties of free self-similar processes and their connection to strict ⊞-stability and ⊞-self-decomposability, that turn out to be consistent with their classical analogue.

Zero Average Dynamics (ZAD) control strategy has been developed, applied and widely analyzed in the last decade. Numerous and interesting phenomena have been studied in systems controlled by ZAD strategy. In particular, the ZAD-controlled buck converter has been a source of nonlinear and nonsmooth phenomena, such as period-doubling, merging bands, period-doubling bands, torus destruction, fractal basins of attraction or codimension-2 bifurcations. In this paper, we report a new bifurcation scenario found inside band-merging scenario of ZAD-controlled buck converter. We use a novel qualitative framework named Dynamic Linkcounter (DLC) approach to characterize chaotic attractors between consecutive crisis bifurcations. This approach complements the results that can be obtained with Bandcounter approaches. Self-similar substructures denoted as Complex Dynamic Links (CDLs) are distinguished in multiband chaotic attractors. Geometrical changes in multiband chaotic attractors are detected when the control parameter of ZAD strategy is varied between two consecutive crisis bifurcations. Linkcount subtracting staircases are defined inside band-merging scenario.

The properties of projected measures of fractal objects are investigated in detail. In general, projected measures display multifractal features which play a role in the evolution of dynamic phenomena on/through fractal structures. Closed-form results are obtained for the moment hierarchy of model fractal interfaces. The distinction between self-similar and self-affine interfaces is discussed by considering the properties of multifractal spectra, the orientational effects in the behavior of the moment hierarchies, and the scaling of the corresponding Fourier transforms. The implications of the properties of projected measures in the characterization of transfer phenomena across fractal interfaces are briefly analyzed.
