When suitably rescaled, the distribution of the angular gaps between branches of off-lattice radial DLA is shown to approach a size-independent limit. The power-law expected from an asymptotic fractal dimension D=1.71 arises only for very…
Urban agglomerations exhibit complex emergent features of which Zipf's law, i.e.\ a power-law size distribution, and fractality may be regarded as the most prominent ones. We propose a simplistic model for the generation of city-like…

The local structure of a fractal set is described by its dimension $D$, which is the exponent of a power-law relating the mass ${\cal N}$ in a ball to its radius $\epsilon$: ${\cal N}\sim \epsilon^D$. It is desirable to characterise the…
