In this paper we consider the evolution of a graph-like hypersurface by anisotropic mean curvature flow, under some restrictions on the anisotropic area integrand. We find interior estimates (in both time and space) on the gradient of such…
The objective of this work is a physical prediction of such soil shrinkage anisotropy characteristics as variation with drying of (i) different sample/layer sizes and (ii) the shrinkage geometry factor. With that, a new presentation of the…

The failure of roughness parameters to predict surface properties stems from their inherent scale-dependence; in other words, the measured value depends on the way it was measured. Here we take advantage of this scale-dependence to develop…
In recent years many procedures have been proposed to check the anisotropy of a dataset. We present a new simple procedure, based on a scale dependent approach, to detect anisotropy signatures in a given distribution with particular…
Using renormalized field theory, we examine the dynamics of a growing surface, driven by an obliquely incident particle beam. Its projection on the reference (substrate) plane selects a ``parallel'' direction, so that the evolution equation…

Percolation clusters are probably the simplest example for scale--invariant structures which either are governed by isotropic scaling--laws (``self--similarity'') or --- as in the case of directed percolation --- may display anisotropic…
This paper proposes parametric and non-parametric hypothesis testing algorithms for detecting anisotropy -- rotational variance of the covariance function in random fields. Both algorithms are based on resampling mechanisms, which enable…
