The analysis of traffic characteristics can be used for performance evaluation, design and implementation of routing protocols in WMNs (Wireless Mesh Networks). Higher bursty traffic will cause larger queue size, which means more dropping packets, and thus affects other metrics. Because burstiness can be modeled by multi-fractal characteristics effectively, multi-fractal characteristics of mobi...

In this paper, a new classification scheme of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images using fractal dimension as contextual information is proposed. Support vector machines (SVM) due to their ability to handle the nonlinear classifier problem are applied to a new fractal feature vector, which is constructed from Pauli decomposed vector and fractal dimensions. Fractal dimension is ...

This paper presents the analysis of novelistic fractal optical antenna arrays in a conceptual manner. Fractal antennas are array antennas with converging and diverging growth of basic element or elements for multi-wideband capturing of the electromagnetic waves. Most of these antennas relay on two components for their characteristics. First one is the basic stage shape and second one is the num...

This paper presents a new multi-agent physics-based simulation framework (DISCOVERY), supporting experiments with self-organizing underwater sensor and actuator networks. DISCOVERY models mobile autonomous underwater vehicles, distributed sensor and actuator nodes, as well as multi-agent datato-decision integration. The simulator is a real-time system using a discrete action model, fractal-base...

A Planar antenna with Microstrip feed Sierpinski carpet fractal geometry for multiband applications is presented. The multiband behavior is analyzed through two fractal iterations. Self similarity property of fractal technology is applied in the antenna design to reduce the physical size, increase bandwidth and gain. The proposed antenna covers multi bands such as 1.8/5.59/5.78/6.4/6.63/7.84 GH...

In this short paper, we propose a new multi-fractal flow model, aiming to provide a possible explanation for the crossover phenomena that appear in the estimation of Hurst exponent for network traffic. It is shown that crossover occurs if the network flow consists of several components with different Hurst components. Our results indicate that this model might be useful in network traffic model...

In this work, variety of complex dynamics are found in a fractional-order antimicrobial resistance (AMR) model based on the generalized Gamma function. Firstly, extended left and right Caputo fractional differential operators, respectively, ELCFDO ERCFDO introduced. The basic features outlined. is shown to have new parameter that affects occurrence AMR system. Secondly, discretization studied u...

Spatial self-organizations appear in many natural and artificial systems. Spatial systems creation and development, called morphogenesis, is the subject of many research studies since many years (1). Fractal computation approach is, for exemple, one of the methods proposed to deal with such studies. But, even if this method is able to describe unlimited local formations on multi-scale descripti...
