The fractal or Hausdorff dimension is a measure of roughness (or smoothness) for time series and spatial data. The graph of a smooth, differentiable surface indexed in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has topological and fractal dimension $d$. If the surface…

A fractal is in essence a hierarchy with cascade structure, which can be described with a set of exponential functions. From these exponential functions, a set of power laws indicative of scaling can be derived. Hierarchy structure and…
In this work a finite element simulation of the motion of a rigid body in a fluid, with free surface, is described. A completely general referential description (of which both Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions are special cases) of an…

Complex systems (CS) are ubiquitous in nature. It is argued that fractional order (FO) calculus is more suitable to describe fractal systems. Motivated by the fractal space time theory some fractional generalizations of Scrodinger and…
