Many biological processes and objects can be described by fractals. The paper uses a new type of objects - blinking fractals - that are not covered by traditional theories considering dynamics of self-similarity processes. It is shown that…

In many problems of classical analysis extremal configurations appear to exhibit complicated fractal structure. This makes it much harder to describe extremals and to attack such problems. Many of these problems are related to the…

We exhibit a characteristic structure of the class of all regular graphs of degree d that stems from the spectra of their adjacency matrices. The structure has a fractal threadlike appearance. Points with coordinates given by the mean and…

In this article, we considered a fractal image as a fractal curve, that is, as a walk on a grid in Euclidean space $\R^d$. We placed integers on the generating vectors of a grid, such that opposite directions have opposite numbers. This…

Two-point correlation function of galaxy distribution shows that the structure in the present Universe is scale-free up to a certain scale (at least several tens Mpc), which suggests that a fractal structure may exist. If small primordial…

Self-similarity is the essence of fractal images and, as such, characterizes natural stochastic textures. This paper is concerned with the property of self-similarity in the statistical sense in the case of fully-textured images that…

When information is spatially repeated in self-similar fractal beam patterns, only a portion of the diffracted beam is needed to reconstruct the kernel data. What is unique to a fractal-encoding scheme is that the image demultiplexing…

The formation of a new type of laser-induced periodic surface structures using a femtosecond pulsed laser is studied on the basis of the Sipe-Drude theory solved with a FDTD scheme. Our numerical results indicate the possibility of…

Fractals emerge everywhere in nature, exhibiting intricate geometric complexities through the self-organizing patterns that span across multiple scales. Here, we investigate beyond steady-states the interplay between this geometry and the…
