Fractals: Concepts & Applications in Geosciences

Editat de Davin Tuft
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 dec 2017
The fractal analysis is becoming a very useful tool to process obtained data from chaotic systems in geosciences. It can be used to resolve many ambiguities in this domain. Fractals are not just complex shapes and pretty pictures generated by computers. Anything that appears random and irregular can be a fractal. Fractals permeate our lives, appearing in places as tiny as the membrane of a cell and as majestic as the solar system. Fractals are the unique, irregular patterns left behind by the unpredictable movements of the chaotic world at work. Fractals have always been associated with the term chaos. The study of chaos and fractals is more than just a new field in science that unifies mathematics, theoretical physics, art, and computer science -- it is a revolution. It is the discovery of a new geometry, one that describes the boundless universe we live in; one that is in constant motion, not as static images in textbooks. Today, many scientists are trying to find applications for fractal geometry, from predicting stock market prices to making new discoveries in theoretical physics. Fractal geometry allows the description of natural patterns and the establishment and testing of models of pattern formation. In particular, it is a tool for geoscientists. This book investigates the theory and practical applications from fractal modeling to applications in the geosciences, physics, and engineering fields. It can be used to resolve many ambiguities in this domain, containing research topics showing the recent applications of the fractal/multifractal analysis in geosciences. The aim of this book is to give an overview of the applications of fractal geometry and the theory of dynamic systems in the geosciences. The state of the art is presented and the reader obtains an impression of the variety of fields for which fractal geometry is a useful tool and of the different methods of fractal geometry which can be applied. As well as specific information about new applications of fractal geometry in structural geology, physics of the solid earth, and mineralogy, proposals and ideas about how fractal geometry can be applied in the reader's field of studies will be put forward.
