Furthermore, We produce an exponentially approximating sequence of localizing compact fractal sets and a fractal structure of the attractor.

On the arithmetic of fractal dimension using hyperhelices

A hyperhelix is a fractal curve generated by coiling a helix around a rect line, then another helix around the first one, a third around the second… an infinite number of times. A way to generate hyperhelices with any desired fractal dimension is presented, leading to the result that they have embedded an algebraic structure that allows making arithmetic with fractal dimensions and to the idea of an infinitesimal of fractal dimension.     

Analyses and simulation of anisotropic fractal surfaces

The spectral densities for an anisotropic fractal surfaces are investigated. Since there is no general definition for anisotropic fractal surface, the profiles of anisotropic fractal surfaces are assumed to be fractal in two main axes. Then, the possible forms of the surface spectral densities are proposed. By using the inverse Fast Fourier Transform, anisotropic fractal surfaces can be simulated from the spectral densities.

Fractal dimension and classification of music

The fractal aspect of different kinds of music was analyzed in keeping with the time domain. The fractal dimension of a great number of different musics (180 scores) is calculated by the Variation method. By using an analysis of variance, it is shown that fractal dimension helps discriminate different categories of music. Then, we used an original statistical technique based on the Bootstrap assumption to find a time window in which fractal dimension reaches a high power of music discrimination. The best discrimination is obtained between 1/44100 and 16/44100 Hertz. We admit that to distinguish some different aspects of music well, the high information quantity is obtained in the high frequency domain. By calculating fractal dimension with the ANAM method, it was statistically proven that fractal dimension could distinguish different kinds of music very well: musics could be classified by their fractal dimensions.     

Closed contour fractal dimension estimation by the Fourier transform

This work proposes a novel technique for the numerical calculus of the fractal dimension of fractal objects which can be represented as a closed contour. The proposed method maps the fractal contour onto a complex signal and calculates its fractal dimension using the Fourier transform. The Fourier power spectrum is obtained and an exponential relation is verified between the power and the frequency. From the parameter (exponent) of the relation, is obtained the fractal dimension. The method is compared to other classical fractal dimension estimation methods in the literature, e.g., Bouligand–Minkowski, box-counting and classical Fourier. The comparison is achieved by the calculus of the fractal dimension of fractal contours whose dimensions are well-known analytically. The results showed the high precision and robustness of the proposed technique.     

Counterexamples in theory of fractal dimension for fractal structures

Fractal dimension constitutes the main tool to test for fractal patterns in Euclidean contexts. For this purpose, it is always used the box dimension, since it is easy to calculate, though the Hausdorff dimension, which is the oldest and also the most accurate fractal dimension, presents the best analytical properties. Additionally, fractal structures provide an appropriate topological context where new models of fractal dimension for a fractal structure could be developed in order to generalize the classical models of fractal dimension. In this survey, we gather different definitions and counterexamples regarding these new models of fractal dimension in order to show the reader how they behave mathematically with respect to the classical models, and also to point out which features of such models can be exploited to powerful effect in applications.     

Finite and Infinite-Dimensional Attractors of Multivalued Reaction-Diffusion Equations

We study the fractal dimension of the global attractor generated by a multivalued reaction-diffusion equation for which there is no uniqueness of solutions. First we give an example of a global attractor having infinite fractal dimension. Then under certain conditions we obtain an estimate of the fractal dimension. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Fractality in subatomic systems

Subatomic systems have unit components in permanent motion. Images in configuration space calculated for such systems are shown to have fractal characteristics. The fractal dimension is an invariant of the motion. The plausibility of extending fractal concepts to subnucleon structures is discussed.     

Fractal Polynomials and Maps in Approximation of Continuous Functions

The primary goal of this article is to establish some approximation properties of fractal functions. More specifically, we establish that a monotone continuous real-valued function can be uniformly approximated with a monotone fractal polynomial, which in addition agrees with the function on an arbitrarily given finite set of points. Furthermore, the simultaneous approximation and \mboxinterpolation which is norm-preserving property of fractal polynomials is established. In the final part of the article, we establish differentiability of a more general class of fractal functions. It is shown that these smooth fractal functions and their derivatives are good approximants for the original function and its \mboxderivatives.     

A new iterative approach to fractal models

Mandelbrot is best appreciated for his broad attempt to describe irregular shapes in nature. He founded fractal geometry in 1975. Subsequently the whole fractal theory developed using one-step feedback systems. In 2002, an attempt was made to study and analyze fractal objects using two-step feedback systems. Researchers used superior iteration methods to implement two-step feedback systems. This was the beginning of a new iterative approach in the study of fractal models, and it seems promising to extend fractal theory. The purpose of this paper is to present a review of literature in fractal analysis using this new iterative approach and explore its potential applications.     

Fractal Continuation

A fractal function is a function whose graph is the attractor of an iterated function system. This paper generalizes analytic continuation of an analytic function to continuation of a fractal function.     

A trace theorem for Dirichlet forms on fractals

We consider a trace theorem for self-similar Dirichlet forms on self-similar sets to self-similar subsets. In particular, we characterize the trace of the domains of Dirichlet forms on Sierpinski gaskets and Sierpinski carpets to their boundaries, where the boundaries are represented by triangles and squares that confine the gaskets and the carpets. As an application, we construct diffusion processes on a collection of fractals called fractal fields. These processes behave as an appropriate fractal diffusion within each fractal component of the field.     

On turbulence in fractal porous media

We examine three fundamental equations governing turbulence of an incompressible Newtonian fluid in a fractal porous medium: continuity, linear momentum balance and energy balance. We find that the Reynolds stress is modified when a local, rather than an integral, balance law is considered. The heat flux is modified from its classical form when either the integral or local form of the energy density balance law is studied, but the energy density is always unchanged. The modifications of Reynolds stress and heat flux are expressed directly in terms of the resolution length scale, the fractal dimension of mass distribution and the fractal dimension of a fractal’s surface. When both fractal dimensions become integer (respectively 3 and 2), classical equations are recovered.      

Fractal functions with continuous Weil-type derivatives of variable order in control of distributed systems

Properties of fractal functions which are not differentiable in the classical sense but have continuous Weil-type derivatives of variable order at each point are studied. It is shown that the Weierstrass, Takagi, and Besicovitch classical fractal functions have such derivatives. An example of an oscillatory system controlling which requires constructing a fractal control function having a Weil-type derivative of variable order at each point is considered.

The pλn fractal decomposition: Nontrivial partitions of conserved physical quantities

A mathematical method for constructing fractal curves and surfaces, termed the pλn fractal decomposition, is presented. It allows any function to be split into a finite set of fractal discontinuous functions whose sum is equal everywhere to the original function. Thus, the method is specially suited for constructing families of fractal objects arising from a conserved physical quantity, the decomposition yielding an exact partition of the quantity in question. Most prominent classes of examples are provided by Hamiltonians and partition functions of statistical ensembles: By using this method, any such function can be decomposed in the ordinary sum of a specified number of terms (generally fractal functions), the decomposition being both exact and valid everywhere on the domain of the function.     

Flow of fractal fluid in pipes: Non-integer dimensional space approach

Using a generalization of vector calculus for the case of non-integer dimensional space we consider a Poiseuille flow of an incompressible viscous fractal fluid in the pipe. Fractal fluid is described as a continuum in non-integer dimensional space. A generalization of the Navier–Stokes equations for non-integer dimensional space, its solution for steady flow of fractal fluid in a pipe and corresponding fractal fluid discharge are suggested.
