متن کاملThe Application of Fractal Geometry to Ecology
The advent of the computer age played an important role in the development and acceptance of fractal geometry as a valid new discipline. New insights gained from the application of fractal geometry to ecology include: understanding the importance of spatial and temporal scales; the relationship between landscape structure and movement pathways; an increased understanding of landscape structures...
متن کاملPercolation fractal exponents without fractal geometry
Classically, percolation critical exponents are linked to the power laws that characterize percolation cluster fractal properties. It is found here that the gradient percolation power laws are conserved even for extreme gradient values for which the frontier of the infinite cluster is no more fractal. In particular the exponent 7/4 which was recently demonstrated to be the exact value for the d...
متن کامل8 . Fractal Geometry
Since Euclid (300 BC) we have been used to perceiving nature with the concept of a threedimensional (3-D) geometry. We measure linear structures in one dimension, area-like structures in two dimensions, and volume-like structures in three dimensions. However, when we measure an object in terms of these three dimensions, we are aware that the geometric model describes a solid body, while a natur...
متن کاملFractal Geometry and Porosity
A fractal is an object or a structure that is self-similar in all length scales. Fractal geometry is an excellent mathematical tool used in the study of irregular geometric objects. The concept of the fractal dimension, D, as a measure of complexity is defined. The concept of fractal geometry is closely linked to scale invariance, and it provides a framework for the analysis of natural phenomen...
