Fractal fractal dimensions of deterministic transport coefficients

Fractal dimension of transport coefficients in a deterministic dynamical system

In many low-dimensional dynamical systems transport coefficients are very irregular, perhaps even fractal functions of control parameters. To analyse this phenomenon we study a dynamical system defined by a piece-wise linear map and investigate the dependence of transport coefficients on the slope of the map. We present analytical arguments, supported by numerical calculations, showing that bot...

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...

Fractal dimensions

Simple deterministic dynamical systems with fractal diffusion coefficients.

We analyze a simple model of deterministic diffusion. The model consists of a one-dimensional array of scatterers with moving point particles. The particles move from one scatterer to the next according to a piecewise linear, expanding, deterministic map on unit intervals. The microscopic chaotic scattering process of the map can be changed by a control parameter. The macroscopic diffusion coef...

Fractal-wavelet-fusion-based re-ranking of joint roughness coefficients

Nowadays, Barton’s Joint Roughness Coefficients (JRC) are widely used as the index for roughness and as a challenging fracture property. When JRC ranking is the goal, deriving JRC from different fractal/wavelet procedures can be conflicting. Complexity increases when various rankings outcome from different calculation methods. Therefore, using Barton’s JRC, we cannot make a decision based on th...
