Diffusion in Fractal Media Background Fractals are sets with some form of self-similarity and are often regarded as good models for natural structures. A simple example is provided by certain soils which can show features over a range of length scales. However being able to calculate the dimension of a soil aggregate is purely a recognition of the fact that the soil is highly irregular and does not provide information about how the fractal nature of soil affects the processes that occur within it. In order to make good use of fractal models we need to develop the mathematics to describe the behaviour of partial differential equations, such as the heat and wave equation, in fractal media. Over the past 10 years there has been developing mathematical interest in these questions, with an important approach being to construct stochastic processes on fractals. The connection between Brownian motion and heat flow allows us to give a probabilistic description of the solution to the heat equation. Early work in this area has concentrated on fractals which have exact self-similarity and showed that there is rather different behaviour of the diffusion than that observed in Euclidean space or on manifolds. Some of the phenomena observed are that the transition density of the diffusion is not Gaussian, that there can exist localised eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a fractal, and that fractals can support stochastic processes which do not have equivalents in Euclidean space.

Fractals-TMR Network- cn:FMRXCT980183 TMR NETWORK: FRACTAL STRUCTURES AND SELF-ORGANIZATION Research Topic Project objectives Scientific Originality Research Method ... Work Plan RESEARCH TOPIC In the last years there has been a growing interest in the understanding a vast variety of scale invariant and critical phenomena occurring in nature. Experiments and observations indeed suggest that many physical systems develop spontaneously correlations with power law behaviour both in space and time. Pattern formation, aggregation phenomena, biological systems, geological systems, disordered materials, clustering of matter in the universe are just some of the fields in which scale invariance has been observed as a common and basic feature. However, the fact that certain structures exhibit fractal and complex properties does not tell us why this happens. A crucial point to understand is therefore the origin of the general scale-invariance of natural phenomena. This would correspond to the understanding of the origin of fractal structures and of the properties of Self- Organized Criticality (SOC) from the knowledge of the microscopic physical processes at the basis of these phenomena.

2. General instructions 2.1 Mathematical basis of fractal calculation Essential part of the calculation of fractals is a formula to iterate. (There are other types of fractals, but this is the one most commonly used). "To iterate" means that the value, which resulted from the formula, is feeded in it again the next step, and so forth. Such a step is called an iteration. The point, which is to be calculated, is used as starting value. A point in this context is a complex number (in case of a two-dimensional fractal). A complex number consist of two components, which are independent of each other. They are called real and imaginary part. If the imaginary part is zero, the complex numbers are identical to the real numbers (e.g. 1.23324, -23, ...). To mark the imaginary part, the letter "i" is used. There is one rule: i*i=-1. (This fact shows, that "i" can't be a real number, because no real number multiplied with itself is -1.) In general a complex number "c" is written like this: c = a + i*b, where "a" is the real part and "b" is the imaginary part (both a and b are real numbers). In two-dimensional fractal programs the real part is identified with the X coordinate on the screen, the imaginary part with the Y coordinate. Quat needs numbers which have one component more to calculate its fractals. This component is necessary for the Z coordinate. Such numbers don't exist, but there are numbers with four components: the Hamiltonian quaternions (sometimes also called "hypercomplex numbers"). They consist of one real part and three imaginary parts. The "signs" for these parts are

What is a fractal? Fractal is a word invented by Benoit Mandelbrot to specify the complicated phenomena of shapes with self-similarity. According Benoit Mandelbrot words in his book, The Fractal Geometry of Nature, "I coined fractal from the Latin adjective fractus. The corresponding Latin verb frangere means "to break:" to create irregular fragents. It is therefore sensible - and how appropriate for our needs! - that, in addition to "fragmented" (as in fraction or refraction), fractus should also mean "irregular," both meanings being preserved in fragment."

General References It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk just behind a facade of order - and yet, deep inside the chaos lurks an even eerier type of order - Douglas Hofstadter. I realize that it is difficult and frustrating when one tries to tackle a new subject, especially one as multifaceted and cross-disciplinary as the field of chaotic dynamics. I know; I was there once - awed by the immensity and complexity of the subject. Heck, I am still there, wide-eyed and all! In any case, I hope the following list of books will help you on your way to being enlightened. Feel free to email me any worthwhile additions and/or corrections at lpoon@chaos.umd.edu Help! I try to keep up with the influx of new books, but I can't do it by myself. After several requests for inclusion of more specialized texts, I have hit upon a possible solution. Instead of trying to keep up with all the new chaos books, I welcome submissions from people who feel strongly and positively about any particular book. I would appreciate it if the submission includes a short review that points out the various aspects of the book (eg. good points, bad points, intended audience, etc.) Submissions in the more specialized areas are especially welcome. I can't promise to accept all submissions, but if I do, I will give the proper acknowledgments. Direct your submissions to lpoon@chaos.umd.edu

99. Fractals Are Insane But behind the bricks of jargon that neatly wall out a passing generalinterest, fractals are inherently elegantly simple. They http://www.albertson.edu/Trace/stories/fractals_are_insane.htm

Fractals are Insane Emily Jones (Image "Chris" by Nick La Martina) Eventually I’ll be able to take fractal basics for granted, as so many computer-artists do, but for now they blow my mind. Like my first thrilling taste of sex, which hinted at the surprising and amazing state of entwined souls, a behind-the-scenes take of fractals seems to promise me some meaning for present and future. I feel like some of the knowledge I’m digging up should be forbidden to my virgin eyes, as though there is a secret culture reveling in the networked depths of the Internet, hesitant for new recruits so that the Gnostic magic they work remains mystical. Challenged and curious, I want to know how fractals work even more. It is a reflection mentioned in Briggs’ text that fractals seem invariably cold. Perhaps as mathematical functions, they lack sufficient influence from the humanities. They are beautiful, but as frigid and untouchable as sterile, sexless angels. I see that even more profoundly as I wade through wispy flame-fractals, newly (within the last three years) named fractals that are created by combining three or four methods that are already commonly used to create formulaic fractals (the popularly conceived pretty fractals that many people choose as desktop backgrounds). Flame-fractals are intricately detailed, like all fractals, with such fine threads in their pattern that a lower screen resolution would send their spider-web delicacy to a mashed-potato haze. All of the work and art is heavily dependent upon technologies. Yet, all of it is also unavoidably dependent upon human interpretations of these ghostly flame-fractals hovering in their black voids. Why are fractals only passingly interesting? Why are they only passingly beautiful?

Chip senses trace DNA News briefs: Laser bursts pierce fog Electricity loosens tiny bits Nano light stores data in polymer See-through magnets hang tough ... Crystal cracks nurture nanowires Today scientists can regenerate tissue such as skin, but they are still figuring out how to grow replacement organs. The challenge is in coaxing cells from organs to grow into new organs rather than unstructured clusters of cells. Researchers from Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found a way to impart structure to growing cells that may eventually allow for growth of entire organs. If the method proves successful, "we can use [a] patient's own cells to create a living organ and this will remove the problems with organ rejections" and a shortage of donor organs, said Mohammed Kaazempur-Mofrad, a researcher at MIT and a senior research fellow at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. This ultimate goal is still far away, he added. Key to the method is supporting the growing cells with something akin to the circulatory system, which provides cells with oxygen and nutrients. "In order to make living replacements for large vital organs such as the liver and kidney, it is essential to integrate the creation of vasculature with the tissue engineering," said Kaazempur-Mofrad. And the growth of these vascular networks has to be highly controlled and precise, he said.
