We investigate fractal aspects of elliptical polynomial spirals; that is, planar spirals with differing polynomial rates of decay in the two axis directions. We give a full dimensional analysis of these spirals, computing explicitly their…

Fractal nests are sets defined as unions of unit $n$-spheres scaled by a sequence of $k^{-\alpha}$ for some $\alpha>0$. In this article we generalise the concept to subsets of such spheres and find the formulas for their box counting…

The fractal properties of models of randomly placed $n$-dimensional spheres ($n$=1,2,3) are studied using standard techniques for calculating fractal dimensions in empirical data (the box counting and Minkowski-sausage techniques). Using…

The fractal dimension of a surface allows its degree of roughness to be characterized quantitatively. However, limited effort is attempted to calculate the fractal dimension of surfaces computed from precisely known atomic coordinates from…

We introduce and study the spherical dimension, a natural topological relaxation of the VC dimension that unifies several results in learning theory where topology plays a key role in the proofs. The spherical dimension is defined by…

The winding problem concerns understanding the regularity of functions which map a line segment onto a spiral. This problem has relevance in fluid dynamics and conformal welding theory, where spirals arise naturally. Here we interpret…

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…

We investigate the distortion of Assouad dimension and the Assouad spectrum under Euclidean quasiconformal maps. Our results complement existing conclusions for Hausdorff and box-counting dimension due to Gehring--V\"ais\"al\"a and others.…

We estimate a Box-counting dimension of fractal surfaces which are generated by iterated function systems with a vertical contraction factor function on an arbitrary data set over rectangular grids and can express well a lot of natural…

Dimension theory lies at the heart of fractal geometry and concerns the rigorous quantification of how large a subset of a metric space is. There are many notions of dimension to consider, and part of the richness of the subject is in…

The intermediate dimensions are a family of dimensions introduced in 2019 by Falconer, Fraser, and Kempton [arXiv:1811.06493] to interpolate between the Hausdorff dimension and the box dimension. To date, there are limited examples of…

We analyze the fractal dimension of open clusters using 3D spatial data from Gaia DR3 for 93 open clusters from Pang et al. (2024) and 127 open clusters from Hunt & Reffert (2024) within 500 pc. The box-counting method is adopted to…

An inhomogeneous fractal set is one which exhibits different scaling behaviour at different points. The Assouad dimension of a set is a quantity which finds the `most difficult location and scale' at which to cover the set and its…
