The Matrix Balancing problem for a nonnegative square matrix A is to find a positive definite diagonal matrix X such that the row sums in the scaled matrix XAX are equal to the corresponding column sums.

متن کاملFractal Dimension - Measuring Complexity and Scaling
In the case of fractals and similarly complex objects, quantities such as length, area and volume may be infinite, or rather undefined. Hence it is necessary to consider other notions of measurement when comparing fractals. This report aims to motivate such a measure and show that it contains many of the intuitive properties of dimension. Furthermore, some methods for measuring this ‘fractal di...
