Diffusion in disordered media
Diffusion in disordered systems does not follow the classical laws which describe transport
in ordered crystalline media, and this leads to many anomalous physical properties. Since …

Multifractal measures, especially for the geophysicist
BB Mandelbrot - Fractals in geophysics, 1989 - Springer
This text is addressed to both the beginner and the seasoned professional, geology being
used as the main but not the sole illustration. The goal is to present an alternative approach …

Negative fractal dimensions and multifractals
BB Mandelbrot - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1990 - Elsevier
A new notion of fractal dimension is defined. When it is positive, it effectively falls back on
known definitions. But its motivating virtue is that it can take negative values, which measure …

Infinite hierarchies of exponents in a diluted ferromagnet and their interpretation
AWW Ludwig - Nuclear Physics B, 1990 - Elsevier
In analogy with other spatially inhomogeneous, scale invariant systems (strange attractors,
diffusion limited aggregation, Anderson localization, random resistor networks,…) we …

Two-dimensional conformal field theory for disordered systems at criticality
Using a Kac-Moody current algebra with U (1/1)× U (1/1) graded symmetry, we describe a
class of (possibly disordered) critical points in two spatial dimensions. The critical points are …

Scaling and multiscaling laws in random fuse networks
We present a numerical simulation of a random fuse network in which the thresholds of the
fuses are distributed randomly. We calculate the breaking characteristics and find that they …

Copolymer networks and stars: Scaling exponents
We explore and calculate the rich scaling behavior of copolymer networks in solution by
renormalization-group methods. We establish a field-theoretic description in terms of …

A Class of Multinomial Multifractal Measures with Negative (Latent) Values for the “Dimension” f(α)
BB Mandelbrot - Fractals' physical origin and properties, 1989 - Springer
As is well known, fractals are sets of points that possess is the property of being invariant by
dilation. When a fractal set is exactly self-similar, or is self-similar in a statistical sense, a …

Nonconcave entropies in multifractals and the thermodynamic formalism
We discuss a subtlety involved in the calculation of multifractal spectra when these are
expressed as Legendre-Fenchel transforms of functions analogous to free energy functions …
