Fractured metal fragments with rough and irregular surfaces are often found at crime scenes. Current forensic practice visually inspects the complex jagged trajectory of fractured surfaces to recognize a ``match'' using comparative…
Building upon [1], this study aims to introduce fractal geometry into graph theory, and to establish a potential theoretical foundation for complex networks. Specifically, we employ the method of substitution to create and explore…
For self-similar fractals, the Minkowski content and fractal curvature have been introduced as a suitable limit of the geometric characteristics of its parallel sets, i.e., of uniformly thin coatings of the fractal. For some self-conformal…
Fractal analysis has been shown to be useful in image processing for characterizing shape and gray-scale complexity. The fractal feature is a compact descriptor used to give a numerical measure of the degree of irregularity of the medical…
A new notion of metric differentiability of set-valued functions at a point is introduced in terms of right and left limits of special set-valued metric divided differences of first order. A local metric linear approximant of a metrically…

Suppose a graph-directed iterated function system consists of maps f_e with upper estimates of the form d(f_e(x),f_e(y)) <= r_e d(x,y). Then the fractal dimension of the attractor K_v of the IFS is bounded above by the dimension associated…

In the literature, the Minkowski-sum and the metric-sum of compact sets are highlighted. While the first is associative, the latter is not. But the major drawback of the Minkowski combination is that, by increasing the number of summands,…
We propose a measure of shape which is appropriate for the study of a complicated geometric structure, defined using the topology of neighborhoods of the structure. One aspect of this measure gives a new notion of fractal dimension. We…
In nature, there are many phenomena with both irregularity and uncertainty. Therefore, a fuzzy-valued fractal interpolation is more useful for modeling them than fuzzy interpolation or fractal interpolation. We construct fractal…
The purpose of the present paper is to present the main applications of a new method for the determination of the fractal structure of plane curves. It is focused on the inverse problem, that is, given a curve in the plane, find its fractal…
Analysis and modeling of networked objects are fundamental pieces of modern data mining. Most real-world networks, from biological to social ones, are known to have common structural properties. These properties allow us to model the growth…

In recent years there has been much interest -and progress- in understanding projections of many concrete fractals sets and measures. The general goal is to be able to go beyond general results such as Marstrand's Theorem, and quantify the…
The natural kinship between classical theories of interpolation and approximation is well explored. In contrast to this, the interrelation between interpolation and approximation is subtle and this duality is relatively obscure in the…
In this paper, we present an effective method to characterize completely when a disconnected fractal square has only finitely many connected components. Our method is to establish some graph structures on fractal squares to reveal the…
