A class of nucleation and growth models of a stable phase (S-phase) is investigated for various different growth velocities. It is shown that for growth velocities $v\sim s(t)/t$ and $v\sim x/\tau(x)$, where $s(t)$ and $\tau$ are the mean…
In this article, we consider the problem of estimating the heat kernel on measure-metric spaces equipped with a resistance form. Such spaces admit a corresponding resistance metric that reflects the conductivity properties of the set. In…
Fractals are defined as geometric shapes that exhibit symmetry of scale. This simply implies that fractal is a shape that it would still look the same even if somebody could zoom in on one of its parts an infinite number of times. This…
The growth curves of fractal dimension of urban form take on squashing effect and can be described by sigmoid functions. The fractal dimension growth of urban form in western countries can be modeled by Boltzmann's equation and logistic…
We extend a previous analysis [PRL {\bf 80}, 4693 (1998)] of breakdown of dynamical scale invariance in the coarsening of two-dimensional DLAs (diffusion-limited aggregates) as described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. Existence of a second…
Highly accurate estimates of the urban fractal dimension $D_f$ are obtained by implementing the Detrended Moving Average algorithm (DMA) on WorldView2 satellite high-resolution multi-spectral images covering the largest European cities.…

We present a unifying, consistent, finite-size-scaling picture for percolation theory bringing it into the framework of a general, renormalization-group-based, scaling scheme for systems above their upper critical dimensions $d_c$.…
Fractal structure of a system suggests the optimal way in which parts arranged or put together to form a whole. The ideas from fractals have a potential application to the researches on urban sustainable development. To characterize fractal…
Urbanization is a phenomenon of concern for planning and public health: projections are difficult because of policy changes and natural events, and indicators are multiple. There are previous studies of development that used fractals, but…
The creation of fractal clusters by diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) is studied by using iterated stochastic conformal maps following the method proposed recently by Hastings and Levitov. The object of interest is the function…
Urban form and growth can be described with fractal dimension, which is a measurement of space filling of urban evolution. Based on empirical analyses, a discovery is made that the time series of fractal dimension of urban form can be…
The spatial distribution of unvisited/persistent sites in $d=1$ $A+A\to\emptyset$ model is studied numerically. Over length scales smaller than a cut-off $\xi(t)\sim t^{z}$, the set of unvisited sites is found to be a fractal. The fractal…
The finite-size scaling theory for continuous phase transition plays an important role in determining critical point and critical exponents from the size-dependent behaviors of quantities in the thermodynamic limit. For percolation phase…
The improved city clustering algorithm can be used to identify urban boundaries on a digital map, and the results are a set of isolines. The relationships between the urban measurements within the variable boundaries follow allometric…
Using Monte Carlo simulations we study the distributions of the 3-block mass $N_3$ in 4d, 5d, and 6d percolation systems. Because the probability of creating large 3-blocks in these dimensions is very small, we use a ``go with the winners''…
We have performed a detailed analysis of the fast multipole method (FMM) in the adaptive case, in which the depth of the FMM tree is non-uniform. Previous works in this area have focused mostly on special types of adaptive distributions,…
The method of iterated conformal maps for the study of Diffusion Limited Aggregates (DLA) is generalized to the study of Laplacian Growth Patterns and related processes. We emphasize the fundamental difference between these processes: DLA…
We consider the Harper model which describes two dimensional Bloch electrons in a magnetic field. For irrational flux through the unit-cell the corresponding energy spectrum is known to be a Cantor set with multifractal properties. In order…
MD simulations of the non-equilibrium melting of aluminum are performed both with and without accounting of the electronic subsystem. A continuum model of melting is purposed basing on the obtained MD results, in which the current phase…
