The seminal text on fractal geometry for students and researchers: extensively revised and
updated with new material, notes and references that reflect recent directions. Interest in …

Science is not merely the smooth progressive interaction of hypothesis, experiment and
theory, although it sometimes has that form. More realistically the scientific study of any …

Long-memory, or more generally fractal, processes are known to play an important role in
many scientific disciplines and applied fields such as physics, geophysics, hydrology …

The dynamics of a wide range of real systems, from email patterns to earthquakes, display a
bursty, intermittent nature, characterized by short timeframes of intense activity followed by …

Brownian motion is the archetypal model for random transport processes in science and
engineering. Brownian motion displays neither wild fluctuations (the “Noah effect”), nor long …

Patterns of deliberate human activity and behavior are of utmost importance in areas as
diverse as disease spread, resource allocation, and emergency response. Because of its …

This book discusses machine learning algorithms, such as artificial neural networks of
different architectures, statistical learning theory, and Support Vector Machines used for the …

This essay is presented with two principal objectives in mind: first, to document the
prevalence of fractals at all levels of the nervous system, giving credence to the notion of …

Multifractal analysis is considered a promising tool for image processing, notably for texture
characterization. However, practical operational estimation procedures based on a …

Neuronal avalanches are a form of spontaneous activity widely observed in cortical slices
and other types of nervous tissue, both in vivo and in vitro. They are characterized by …
