While galaxy cluster catalogs were compiled many decades ago, other structural elements of cosmic web are detected at definite level only in the newest works. For example, extragalactic filaments were described by velocity field and SDSS…
We show a relation between fractional calculus and fractals, based only on physical and geometrical considerations. The link has been found in the physical origins of the power-laws, ruling the evolution of many natural phenomena, whose…
We introduce the basic techniques used for the analysis of three dimensional and two dimensional galaxy samples. We report the correlation analysis of various redshift surveys which shows that the available data are consistent with each…
The nonlinear clustering of dark matter particles in an expanding universe is usually studied by N-body simulations. One can gain some insight into this complex problem if simple relations between physical quantities in the linear and…
Cosmology is undergoing an explosive period of activity, fueled both by new, accurate astrophysical data and by innovative theoretical developments. Cosmological parameters such as the total density of the Universe and the rate of…
The cosmic large scale structure encodes the formation and evolution of a weblike network of dark matter and galaxies within the Universe. The cosmological information is wrapped up in non-Gaussian statistics requiring characterisation…
We apply the scale-length method to several three dimensional samples of the Two degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey. This method allows us to map in a quantitative and powerful way large scale structures in the distribution of galaxies…
The analysis of the distribution of stars in open clusters may yield important information on the star formation process and early dynamical evolution of stellar clusters. Here we address this issue by systematically characterizing the…
The spatial arrangement of galaxies (of satellites on a scale of 100kpc) as well as their three-dimensional distribution in galaxy groups such as the Local Group (on a scale of 1Mpc), the distribution of galaxies in the nearby volume of…
The isothermal gravitational collapse and fragmentation of a region within a molecular cloud and the subsequent formation of a protostellar cluster is investigated numerically. The clump mass spectrum which forms during the fragmentation…
We study gravitational clustering of mass points in three dimensions with random initial positions and periodic boundary conditions (no expansion) by numerical simulations. Correlation properties are well defined in the system and a sort of…
The structures formation of the Universe appears as if it were a classically self-similar random process at all astrophysical scales. An agreement is demonstrated for the present hypotheses of segregation with a size of astrophysical…
We develop a stochastic formulation of cosmology in the early universe, after considering the scatter in the redshift-apparent magnitude diagram in the early epochs as an observational evidence for the non-deterministic evolution of early…
The fractal structure of star formation on large scales in disk galaxies is studied using the size distribution function of stellar aggregates in kpc-scale star fields. Achival HST images of 10 galaxies are Gaussian smoothed to define the…
The debate on the correlation properties of galaxy structures has having an increasing interest during the last year. In this lecture we discuss the claims of different authors who have criticized our approach and results. In order to have…
City is proved to be a scale-free phenomenon, and spatial autocorrelation is often employed to analyze spatial redundancy of cities. Unfortunately, spatial analysis results deviated practical requirement in many cases due to fractal nature…
Despite the observational evidence that the Universe appears hierarchically structured up to a distance of at least 30 Mpc/h (and possibly up to 100 Mpc/h), the fractal paradigm has not yet been recognized by the majority of cosmologists…
We investigate the evolution of matter density perturbations within a fractional cosmological framework inspired by fractal space-time constructions in field theory, where a deformation of the integration measure induces non-locality and…
Dynamics of coarsening of a statistically homogeneous fractal cluster, created by a morphological instability of diffusion-controlled growth, is investigated theoretically. An exact mathematical setting of the problem is presented that…
Recent analysis of the distribution of clusters of galaxies is reviewed. Clusters of galaxies located in rich superclusters form a quasiregular lattice with a step size 120 Mpc. The power spectrum of clusters of galaxies has a sharp peak at…
