An Introduction to Dimension Theory and Fractal Geometry: Fractal Dimensions and Measures

چکیده

“When we say that space has the dimensions three, what do we mean? If to divide a continuum C it suffices to consider as cuts a certain number of distinguishable points, we say that this continuum is of dimension one. If, on the contrary, to divide a continuum it suffices to use cuts which form one or several continua of dimension one, then we say that C is a continuum of dimension two. If cuts which form one or several continua of at most dimension two suffice, we say that C is a continuum of dimension three; and so on.”

The Application of fractal dimension and morphometric properties of drainage networks in the analysis of formation sensibility in arid areas (Case Study, Yazd-Ardakan Basin)

Introduction: Many natural phenomena have many variables that make it difficult to find relationships between them using common mathematical methods. This problem, along with the impossibility of measuring all elements of nature, has led to a major evolution in the way of understanding and explaining phenomena. In this way, one can use the fractal geometry with the theory that many natural phen...

A study on dimensions of Fractal geometry in Iranian architecture

The subject of geometry and proportions has been regarded as an issue which has a close relationship with architecture. Since the entire universe, living beings and the human geometry can be seen clearly, that’s why our unconscious essence has accustomed to these proportions whereby reflection of this mentality can be seen in the architect’s hands and thought in the architecture. It can witness...

Introduction: Graph theoretical analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data has provided new measures of mapping human brain in vivo. Of all methods to measure the functional connectivity between regions, Linear Correlation (LC) calculation of activity time series of the brain regions as a linear measure is considered the most ubiquitous one. The strength of the dependence obl...

FONT DISCRIMINATIO USING FRACTAL DIMENSIONS

One of the related problems of OCR systems is discrimination of fonts in machine printed document images. This task improves performance of general OCR systems. Proposed methods in this paper are based on various fractal dimensions for font discrimination. First, some predefined fractal dimensions were combined with directional methods to enhance font differentiation. Then, a novel fractal dime...

Assessment the Effect of Exposure Conditions and Geometry Parameters on Calculated Fractal Dimension of Mandibular Bone

Introduction: One of the fractal analysis methods to examine the structure of a texture is fractal dimension (F.D.) measurement. F.D is a quantitative method to show the complexity of a structure using a number. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different exposure conditions, voltages and angle of x-ray tube on F.D. values of mandibular bone. Methods: This lab-trial analytic...

Sliding Friction Contact Stiffness Model of Involute Arc Cylindrical Gear Based on Fractal Theory

Gear’s normal contact stiffness played an important role in the mechanical equipment. In this paper, the M-B fractal model is modified and the contact surface coefficient is put forward to set up the fractal model, considering the influence of friction, which could be used to calculate accurately the involute arc cylindrical gears’ normal contact stiffness based on the fractal theory and Hertz ...
