By viewing the covers of a fractal as a statistical mechanical system, the exact capacity of a multifractal is computed. The procedure can be extended to any multifractal described by a scaling function to show why the capacity and Hausdorff dimension are expected to be equal.

In this paper we prove that the conjectures of Frisch and Parisi in 9] and Arneodo et al in 1] (called the multifractal formalism for functions) may fail for some non homogenous selfsimilar functions in m dimension, m 2. In these cases, we compute the correct spectrum of singularities and we show how the multifractal formalism must be modiied.

We consider the multifractal spectrum of harmonic measure of a Brownian motion path in two or three dimensions. We show that the multifractal spectrum is nontrivial and relate the spectrum to the intersection exponent. As a corollary we show that harmonic measure on a three dimension Brownian motion path is carried on a set of Hausdorr dimension strictly less than two.

We analyze the fractal behavior of the high frequency part of the Fourier spectrum of fBm using multifractal analysis and show that it is not consistent with what is measured on real traac traces. We propose two extensions of fBm which come closer to actual traac traces multifractal properties.

In this paper we compute the multifractal analysis for local dimensions of Bernoulli measures supported on the self-affine carpets introduced by Bedford-McMullen. This extends the work of King where the multifractal analysis is computed with strong additional separation assumptions.

BACKGROUND Histologic image analysis plays an important role in cancer diagnosis. It describes the structure of the body tissues and abnormal structure gives the suspicion of the cancer or some other diseases. Observing the structural changes of these chaotic textures from the human eye is challenging process. However, the challenge can be defeat by forming mathematical descriptor to represent ...

We present a multiplicative multifractal process to model tra$c which exhibits long-range dependence. Using tra$c trace data captured by Bellcore from operations across local and wide area networks, we examine the interarrival time series and the packet length sequences.We also model the frame size sequences of VBR video tra$c process. We prove a number of properties of multiplicative multifrac...

We study the multifractal e ects of nonlinear transformations of monofractal, stationary time series and apply the found results to measure the true unbiased multifractality generated only by multiscaling properties of initial (primary) data before transformations. A di erence is stressed between naive observed multifractal e ects calculated directly within detrended multifractal analysis as th...

In recent decades multifractal analysis has been successfully applied to characterize the complex temporal and spatial organization of such diverse natural phenomena as heartbeat dynamics, the dendritic shape of neurons, retinal vessels, rock fractures, and intricately shaped volcanic ash particles. The characterization of multifractal properties of closed contours has remained elusive because ...

Multifractal analysis is considered a promising tool for image processing, notably for texture characterization. However, practical operational estimation procedures based on a theoretically well established multifractal analysis are still lacking for image (as opposed to signal) processing. In the present contribution, a wavelet Leader based multifractal analysis, known to be theoretically str...
