Description for Fractal-Based Methods in Analysis Hardback. Fractal-based methods are at the heart of modeling the behavior of phenomena at varying scales. This volume collates techniques for using IFS fractals, including the very latest cutting-edge methods, from more than 20 years of research in this area. Num Pages: 408 pages, 40 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBPH; PBWR; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 163 x 29. Weight in Grams: 766.

The idea of modeling the behaviour of phenomena at multiple scales has become a useful tool in both pure and applied mathematics. Fractal-based techniques lie at the heart of this area, as fractals are inherently multiscale objects; they very often describe nonlinear phenomena better than traditional mathematical models. In many cases they have been used for solving inverse problems arising in models described by systems of differential equations and dynamical systems.

 

"Fractal-Based Methods in Analysis" draws together, for the first time in book form, methods and results from almost twenty years of research in this topic, including new viewpoints and results ... Read more

 

The second chapter on basic iterated function systems theory is designed to be used as the basis for a course and includes many exercises.  This chapter, along with the three background appendices on topological and metric spaces, measure theory, and basic results from set-valued analysis, make the book suitable for self-study or as a source book for a graduate course. The other chapters illustrate many extensions and applications of fractal-based methods to different areas. This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, engineering and social sciences.

Reviews for Fractal-Based Methods in Analysis
From the reviews: “This book intends to introduce the prospective reader to a variety of fractal-based methods in analysis. … The book is accessible to graduate students with a solid understanding of real analysis, functional analysis, and probability theory, but it seems to be primarily aimed at mathematicians who like to employ fractal-based methodologies in their research.” (Peter R. ...
