The fractal dimension of large-scale galaxy clustering has been demonstrated to be roughly $D_F \sim 2$ from a wide range of redshift surveys. If correct, this statistic is of interest for two main reasons: fractal scaling is an implicit…
Irreversible adsorption of spheres on flat collectors having dimension $d<2$ is studied. Molecules are adsorbed on Sierpinski's Triangle and Carpet like fractals ($1<d<2$), and on General Cantor Set ($d<1$). Adsorption process is modeled…
The geometry of fracture patterns in a dilute elastic network is explored using molecular dynamics simulation. The network in two dimensions is subjected to a uniform strain which drives the fracture to develop by the growth and coalescence…
Random packing of spheres inside fractal collectors of dimension 2 < d < 3 is studied numerically using Random Sequential Adsorption (RSA) algorithm. The paper focuses mainly on the measurement of random packing saturation limit.…
Fractal structures and non-Gaussian velocity distributions are characteristic properties commonly observed in virialized self-gravitating systems such as galaxies or interstellar molecular clouds. We study the origin of these properties…
A wavelet-like model for distributions of objects in natural and man-made terrestrial environments is developed. The model is constructed in a self-similar fashion, with the sizes, amplitudes, and numbers of objects occurring at a constant…
We develop a powerful yet simple method that generates multifractal fields with fully controlled scaling properties. Adopting the Multifractal Random Walk (MRW) model of Bacry et al. (2001), synthetic multifractal fields are obtained from…
Many natural systems show emergent phenomena at different scales, leading to scaling regimes with signatures of chaos at large scales and an apparently random behavior at small scales. These features are usually investigated quantitatively…
Homogeneity and isotropy of the universe at sufficiently large scales is a fundamental premise on which modern cosmology is based. Fractal dimensions of matter distribution is a parameter that can be used to test the hypothesis of…
The family of $V$-variable fractals provides a means of interpolating between two families of random fractals previously considered in the literature; scale irregular fractals ($V=1$) and random recursive fractals ($V=\infty$). We consider…

Fractal behavior is found on the topographies of pericellular brushes on the surfaces of model healthy and cancerous cells, using dissipative particle dynamics models and simulations. The influence of brush composition, chain stiffness and…
We examine the fractal structure of the physical universe from the large scale to the smallest scale, including the phenomenon of fractal scaling. This is explained in terms of a stochastic underpinning for the laws of physics. A picture in…
In previous papers by A. Kameyama and by J. Kigami distances on fractals have been discussed having two different but similar properties. One property is that the maps defining the fractal are Lipschitz of prescribed constants less than 1,…
Scale-invariance is a ubiquitous observation in the dynamics of large distributed complex systems. The computation of its scaling exponents, which provide clues on its origin, is often hampered by the limited available sampling data, making…
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…
Earlier we showed that the fine structure of the spectrum of amplitude variations in the results of measurements of the processes of different nature (in other words, the fine structure of the dispersion of results or the pattern of the…
We present a Monte Carlo study of the fractal geometry of clusters formed by discrete-time simple random walks (sRW) of $L^2$ steps on a periodic square $L\times L$ lattice. We verify with high precision that the asymptotic behavior of the…
We consider the fragmentation process with mass loss and discuss self-similar properties of the arising structure both in time and space focusing on dimensional analysis. This exhibits a spectrum of mass exponents $\theta$, whose exact…
We present a model of (modified) gravity on spacetimes with fractal structure based on packing of spheres, which are (Euclidean) variants of the Packed Swiss Cheese Cosmology models. As the action functional for gravity we consider the…
