An algorithm is proposed for the segmentation of image into multiple levels using mean and standard deviation in the wavelet domain. The procedure provides for variable size segmentation with bigger block size around the mean, and having…
Fractal/non-fractal morphological transitions allow for the systematic study of the physics behind fractal morphogenesis in nature. In these systems, the fractal dimension is considered a non-thermal order parameter, commonly and…
We informally review the construction of spacetime geometries with multifractal and, more generally, multiscale properties. Based on fractional calculus, these continuous spacetimes have their dimension changing with the scale; they display…
This article introduces a full mathematical and numerical framework for treating functional shapes (or fshapes) following the landmarks of shape spaces and shape analysis. Functional shapes can be described as signal functions supported on…
Band theory provides the foundation for understanding electronic structure in crystalline materials, but its reliance on exact translational symmetry limits its applicability to systems with defects, disorder, incommensurate modulations, or…
We introduce a numerical method for reconstructing a multidimensional surface using the gradient of the surface measured at some values of the coordinates. The method consists of defining a multidimensional spline function and minimizing…
We explore the concepts of self-similarity, dimensionality, and (multi)scaling in a new family of recursive scale-free nets that yield themselves to exact analysis through renormalization techniques. All nets in this family are self-similar…
Starting from the working hypothesis that both physics and the corresponding mathematics have to be described by means of discrete concepts on the Planck-scale, one of the many problems one has to face in this enterprise is to find the…
We review the theoretical framework that establishes a crucial bridge between the general Steiner-type formula of Hug, Last, and Weil and the theory of complex (fractal) dimensions of Lapidus et all. Two novel families of geometric…
A novel approach to zipper fractal interpolation theory for functions of several variables is proposed. We develop multivariate zipper fractal functions in a constructive manner. We then perturb a multivariate function to construct its…
We consider two models (A and B) which can describe both two dimensional fragmentation and stochastic fractals. Model A exhibits multifractality on a unique support when describing a fragmentation process and on one of infinitely many…
This paper presents a comparative study of two families of curves in R(n). The first ones comprise self-similar bounded fractals obtained by contractive processes, and have a non-integer Hausdorff dimension. The second ones are unbounded,…
An approximately scale invariant spectrum generating the seeds of structure formation is derived from a bimetric gravity theory. By requiring that the amplitude of the CMB fluctuations from the model matches the observed value, we determine…
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…
Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long-standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many…
Assuming only a smooth and slow change of spacetime dimensionality at large scales, we find, in a background- and model-independent way, the general profile of the Hausdorff and the spectral dimension of multiscale geometries such as those…
In this work, we introduce a new geometry based on the difference angle, an angle defined as the difference of slopes of two lines, together with an axiomatic system for angles. This framework provides a constructive approach to the…
In this work, we study the fractal and multifractal properties of a family of fractal networks introduced by Gallos {\it et al.} ({\it Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.}, 2007, {\bf 104}: 7746). In this fractal network model, there is a…
We propose a new, efficient multi-scale method to decompose a map (or signal in general) into components maps that contain structures of different sizes. In the widely-used wave transform, artifacts containing negative values arise around…
Geometric representations provide a principled framework for structuring the description of latent constructs and clarifying sources of uncertainty in their dimensional characterisation. We introduce a novel geometric representation of…
