Fractal dimension
Videos
In geometric measure theory, fractal dimensions enable consistent statistical indexes of complexity in patterns. Since fractal patterns can be scale-variant, measuring space-filling capacity should be

Figure 2. A 32-segment quadric fractal scaled and viewed through boxes of different sizes. The pattern illustrates self-similarity. The theoretical fractal dimension for this fractal is 5/3 ≈ 1.67; its empirical fractal dimension from box counting analysis is ±1% using fractal analysis software.

Benoit B. Mandelbrot was a Polish-born French-American mathematician and polymath with broad interests in the practical sciences, especially regarding what he labeled as "the art of roughness" of phys
Fractal dimension
…non-integer (fractal) dimensions. The main idea of "fractured" dimensions has a long history in mathematics, but the term itself was brought to the fore by Benoit Mandelbrot based on his 1967 paper on self-similarity, where he discusses fractional dimensions. In that paper, Mandelbrot cited previous work by Lewis Fry…
