Second, through multiple-cell elements, the constructability of regular multifractals with strict self-similarities is confirmed, and the universality of the con- struction mode for regular multifractals is proved. Third, through the construction mode and multiple-cell elements, regular multifractals are demonstrated to be equivalent to generalized regular single fractals with multilayer fine structures. On the basis of such equivalence, the dimension formula of the regular single fractal is extended to that of the regular multifractal, and the geometry of regular single fractals is extended to that of regular multifractals. Fourth, through regular multifractals, a few golden fractals are constructed.展开更多

A new explanation to the Williford's multifractal curve on the relationship of fractal dimension with fracture properties in materials has been given. It shows the importance of fractorizing out the effect of fractal structure from other physical causes and separating the appropriate range of scale from multirange fractals. Mechanical alloying process under ball milling as a non-equilibrium dynamical system has been also analyzed.展开更多

On the other hand topology’s and geometry’s simplest and most basic elements are random Cantor sets. It follows then that nonlinear dynamics i.e. deterministic chaos and fractal geometry is the best mathematical theory to apply to the problems of high energy particle physics and cosmology. In the present work we give a short survey of some recent achievements of applying nonlinear dynamics to notoriously difficult subjects such as quantum entanglement as well as the origin and true nature of dark energy, negative absolute temperature and the fractal meaning of the constancy of the speed of light.展开更多

The ceramic materials were characterized by light transmittance, field emission gun-environment scanning microscope. Fractal geometry was used to study the quantitative relationships between light transmittance and fractal dimensions of Nd∶YAG transparent ceramics. It was found that the transmittance of Nd∶YAG with 1 mm in thickness was about 45% and 58% in visible and near-infrared region respectively. The microstructures of Nd∶YAG transparent ceramics were obvious fractal characteristic and fractal dimensions depart a little from two-dimension. The light transmittance decreased with increasing of fractal dimension and nonlinear fit curve was y=1350-1185x+269x2 between fractal dimension and light transmittance of Nd∶YAG transparent ceramics.展开更多

An effective approach of urban prediction can be a valuable tool in urban decision making and planning. A large urban development has been occurred during last decade in the touristic village of Pogonia Etoloakarnanias, Greece, where an urban growth of 57.5% has been recorded from 2003 to 2011. The prediction of new urban settlements was achieved using fractals and theory of chaos. More specifically, it was found that the urban growth is taken place within a Sierpinski carpet. Several shapes of Sierpinski carpets were tested in order to find the most appropriate, which produced an accuracy percentage of 70.6% for training set and 81.8% for validation set. This prediction method can be effectively applied in urban growth modelling, once cities are fractals and urban complexity can be successfully described through a Sierpinski tessellation.展开更多

This dimension agrees with the Hausdorff dimension in the particular case when the scales factors considered are all the same. A more general sufficient condition for the box-counting dimension and the Hausdorff dimension to be the same is given. It is also shown that the dimension of the fractal obtained by combining two fractals is the weighted average of the dimensions of the two fractals.展开更多

Now we will introduce some things about the probability basis and fractal properties of fractals in the last class. The probability basis contains (1) the convergence and measurability of a random recursive setK(ω) as a random element, (2) martingals property. The fractal properties include (3) the character of various similarity, (4) the separability property, (5) the support and zero-one law of distributionP k =P·K ?1, (6) the Hausdorff dimension and Hausdorff exact measure function.展开更多

In order to provide concrete models to Kigami’s theoretical construction, in this paper,we give a thorough study of his metric on two classes of fractals of primary importance: the nested fractals and the generalized Sierpinski carpets;we further assume that the weight functions g := ga are generated by“symmetric” weights a. Let M be the domain of a such that Dgadefines a metric, and let S be the boundary of M. One of our main results is that the metrics from ga satisfy the metric chain condition if and only if a ∈ S.To determine M and S, we provide a recursive weight transfer construction on the nested fractals, and a basic symmetric argument on the Sierpinski carpet. As an application, we use the metric chain condition to obtain the lower estimate of the sub-Gaussian heat kernel. This together with the upper estimate obtained by Kigami allows us to have a concrete class of metrics for the time change, and the two-sided sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimate on the fundamental fractals.展开更多
