À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Our daily universe is rough and infinitely diverse. The fractal approach clarifies and orders these disparities. It helps us to envisage new explanations of geographical phenomena, which are, however, considered as definitely understood.

A first incontrovertible stage: determination of the fractal class of the geographical phenomenon studied 62 4.3. Some algorithms for the calculation of the fractal dimensions of auto-similar objects 75 4.4. The fractal dimensions of objects and self-affine processes 80 4.5. Conclusion 85 Chapter 5. The Fractal Dimensions of Rank-size Distributions 87 5.1. Three test series: rainfall heights, urban hierarchies and attendance figures for major French museums 88 5.2. The equivalence of the Zipf, Pareto and Power laws 89 5.3. Three strategies for adjusting the rank-size distribution curve 92 5.4. Conclusion 101 Chapter 6. Calculation and Interpretation of Multifractal Spectrums 103 6.1. Three data sets for testing multifractality: a chronicle series, a rank-size distribution and satellite images 104 6.2. Distinguishing multifractal and monofractal phenomena 104 6.3. Various algorithms for calculation of the singularity spectrum 111 6.4. Possible generalizations of the multifractal approach 116 6.5.
