Fractals are geometric shapes that can display complex and self-similar patterns found in nature (e.g., clouds and plants). Recent works in visual recognition have leveraged this property to create random fractal images for model…
There are various notions of dimension in fractal geometry to characterise (random and non-random) subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. In this expository text, we discuss their analogues for infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z^d$ and, more generally, for…
Recently, attempts have been made to take into account the fractal properties of seismicity when mapping the long-term rate of earthquakes. The paper touches upon the theoretical aspects of fractality and provides a critical analysis of its…
Fracture functions and their evolution equations are reviewed. Some phenomenological applications are briefly discussed.
We discuss the definition and measurability questions of random fractals and find under certain conditions a formula for upper and lower Minkowski dimensions. For the case of a random self-similar set we obtain the packing dimension.
We develop a new definition of fractals which can be considered as an abstraction of the fractals determined through self-similarity. The definition is formulated through imposing conditions which are governed the relation between the…
The electrostatics properties of composite materials with fractal geometry are studied in the framework of fractional calculus. An electric field in a composite dielectric with a fractal charge distribution is obtained in the spherical…
A Compact Introduction to Fractional Calculus is presented including basic definitions, fractional differential equations and special functions.
Notes to lectures on the epsilon calculus, covering axioms, semantics, completeness, and the first epsilon theorem.
This short survey has been prepared in connection with the workshop on discrete metric spaces and their applications at Princeton, August, 2003, and tries to convey some of the ways that one might look at functions on metric spaces in…
These lecture notes are based on a set of six lectures that I gave in Edinburgh in 2008/2009 and they cover some topics in the interface between Geometry and Physics. They involve some unsolved problems and conjectures and I hope they may…
This work presents an analysis of fractional derivatives and fractal derivatives, discussing their differences and similarities. The fractal derivative is closely connected to Haussdorff's concepts of fractional dimension geometry. The…
In this paper we have defined one function that has been used to construct different fractals having fractal dimensions between 1.58 and 2. Also, we tried to calculate the amount of increment of fractal dimension in accordance with the base…
By a "happy fractal" we mean a metric space with bounded geometry in the sense of a doubling condition and a lot of paths of finite length, so that any pair of points can be connected by a path whose length is less than or equal to a…
We consider the fragmentation process with mass loss and discuss self-similar properties of the arising structure both in time and space focusing on dimensional analysis. This exhibits a spectrum of mass exponents $\theta$, whose exact…
In this paper, we give a review of fractal calculus which is an expansion of standard calculus. Fractal calculus is applied for functions which are not differentiable or integrable on totally disconnected fractal sets such as middle-$\mu$…
Differential calculus on metric spaces is contained in the algebraic study of normed groupoids with $\delta$-structures. Algebraic study of normed groups endowed with dilatation structures is contained in the differential calculus on metric…
These are lecture notes that are based on the lectures from a class I taught on the topic of Spectral Graph Methods at UC Berkeley during the Spring 2015 semester.
Fractal structures appear in a vast range of physical systems. A literature survey including all experimental papers on fractals which appeared in the six Physical Review journals (A-E and Letters) during the 1990's shows that experimental…
This article surveys the mathematics of the cut and project method as applied to point sets, called here {\em model sets}. It covers the geometric, arithmetic, and analytical sides of this theory as well as diffraction and the connection…
