Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

To date, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used for classification, prediction, and optimization. However, there is still room for improving the application of AI in many fields. In situations where the problem to be modelled is too intricate, the approach of incorporating AI can lead to promising results. There is a consistent body of literature demonstrating that AI-based methods provide greater reliability, accuracy, and predictability, while helping to detect hidden nonlinear chaotic patterns in big data applications. To this end, AI methods are often used to complement traditional classical methods in many fields, especially in complicated hybrid chaotic systems.

Although many studies in recent years have used AI in applied mathematics, the application of AI methods to fractal theory is less common. Fractal, fractional calculus, and wavelets have been the most widely-used methods in approximation theory and signal processing. Combining AI methods and fractal-based analysis is a new direction of research area.

Fractal-AI allows for the derivation of new mathematical tools that are designed to provide efficient solutions to problems in which many entities are interconnected. Fractal-AI is also used to extract hidden information from the dynamics of complicated systems and speed up experiments by performing massive data analysis.

In this special issue, the focus will be on recent developments of fractal functions and their applications in AI and data science, including theoretical and numerical aspects. The purpose is to develop the research area of differential equations, integral equations, approximation theory, wavelets, curve fitting, and reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We also aim to extend applications of fractal functions in machine learning and data modelling. Applications of AI in fractal functions are also welcome to this special issue.

The theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) has been developed into a powerful tool in mathematics and has lots of applications in many fields, especially in kernel machine learning. Fractal theory provides new technologies for making complicated curves and fitting experimental data. Recently, combinations of fractal interpolation functions (FIFs) and methods of curve estimations have attracted the attention of researchers. We are interested in the study of connections between FIFs and RKHSs. The aim is to develop the concept of smooth fractal-type reproducing kernels and RKHSs of smooth FIFs. In this paper, a linear space of smooth FIFs is considered. A condition for a given finite set of smooth FIFs to be linearly independent is established. For such a given set, we build a fractal-type positive semi-definite kernel and show that the span of these linearly independent smooth FIFs is the corresponding RKHS. The nth derivatives of these FIFs are investigated, and properties of related positive semi-definite kernels and the corresponding RKHS are studied. We also introduce subspaces of these RKHS which are important in curve-fitting applications. Full article

One of the main tasks in the problems of machine learning and curve fitting is to develop suitable models for given data sets. It requires to generate a function to approximate the data arising from some unknown function. The class of kernel regression estimators is one of main types of nonparametric curve estimations. On the other hand, fractal theory provides new technologies for making complicated irregular curves in many practical problems. In this paper, we are going to investigate fractal curve-fitting problems with the help of kernel regression estimators. For a given data set that arises from an unknown function m, one of the well-known kernel regression estimators, the Nadaraya–Watson estimator m^, is applied. We consider the case that m is Hölder-continuous of exponent β with 0<β≤1, and the graph of m is irregular. An estimation for the expectation of |m^−m|2 is established. Then a fractal perturbation f[m^] corresponding to m^ is constructed to fit the given data. The expectations of |f[m^]−m^|2 and |f[m^]−m|2 are also estimated. Full article

An iterated function system that defines a fractal interpolation function, where ordinate scaling is replaced by a nonlinear contraction, is investigated here. In such a manner, fractal interpolation functions associated with Matkowski contractions for finite as well as infinite (countable) sets of data are obtained. Furthermore, we construct an extension of the concept of α-fractal interpolation functions, herein called R-fractal interpolation functions, related to a finite as well as to a countable iterated function system and provide approximation properties of the R-fractal functions. Moreover, we obtain smooth R-fractal interpolation functions and provide results that ensure the existence of differentiable R-fractal interpolation functions both for the finite and the infinite (countable) cases.
