Measuring Fractality

WHEN INVESTIGATING FRACTAL PHENOMENA, THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL FOR THE APPLIED RESEARCHER: (1) What are essential statistical properties of 1/f noise? (2) Which estimators are available for measuring fractality? (3) Which measurement instruments are appropriate and how are they applied? The purpose of this article is to give clear and comprehensible answers to these questions. Fi...

Marriage, Rank, and Seasonal Migration: Fractality in Social Structure

Randomness and Apparent Fractality

We show that when the standard techniques for calculating fractal dimensions in empirical data (such as the box counting) are applied on uniformly random structures, apparent fractal behavior is observed in a range between physically relevant cutoffs. This range, spanning between one and two decades for densities of 0.1 and lower, is in good agreement with the typical range observed in experime...

Fractality and Lapidus zeta functions at infinity

We study fractality of unbounded sets of finite Lebesgue measure at infinity by introducing the notions of Minkowski dimension and content at infinity. We also introduce the Lapidus zeta function at infinity, study its properties and demonstrate its use in analysis of fractal properties of unbounded sets at infinity.
