| Jun 3, 2010 at 23:01 | comment | added | Tom Smith | "Succolarity" in particular only has 431 Google results, which makes me suspicious of it as a mathematical term; although they do seem to relate to fractals. At least with "Lacunarity" one can guess at a meaning (and it has a reasonable number of Google hits). | |

| Jun 3, 2010 at 17:47 | comment | added | Sk Sarif Hassan | I am not going to make you argue in this way. wHAT i WANT TO SAY IS THE FUNDA OF FRACTAL IS QUITE CLEAR. AND YOU KNOW THIS SUBJECT IS POPULAR SINCE LAST 30 YRS OR SO. I ASKED A PRECISE QUESTION...IF YOU HAVE ANSWER LET ME,ONE SHOULD NOT DEVIATE ME FROM THE QUESTION. MORPHOLOGICAL ENTROPY IS NOT TOPOLOGICAL ENTROPY, THIS IS A PARAMETER SIGNIFIES THE SHAPE OF THE FRACTAL, THIS BASICALLY PERT OF MATHEMATICAL MORPHOLOGY. | |
| Jun 3, 2010 at 15:11 | comment | added | Vaughn Climenhaga | I'm also not quite sure what to make of the parameters you've listed. I've never heard of succolarity or lacunarity (at least not in this precise context), so a brief explanation in the question would help clarify things. By "morphological entropy" I guess you may mean what I would call "topological entropy", but that assumes the presence of an underlying dynamical system, which you didn't mention. Finally, "fractal dimension" is not a precisely defined concept, but rather a general one that subsumes Hausdorff dimension, box dimension, packing dimension, etc. | |
| Jun 3, 2010 at 15:05 | comment | added | Vaughn Climenhaga | @Sk: I strongly disagree with your comment. Jeremy's question is perfectly legitimate and very to-the-point. I have seen several non-equivalent potential definitions of the word "fractal", and I do not believe any of them would find universal acceptance as "the" definition. Your attack on Jeremy's comment strikes me as particularly inappropriate. Even if it had been a naive and unhelpful question (which it most emphatically is not), there is no call for an uncivil response. | |

| Jun 3, 2010 at 10:28 | comment | added | Sk Sarif Hassan | Yes there is a organized well defined definition of fractals. See any book on fractal geometry, like Fractals everywhere, Fractal geometry of nature, fractals geometry by Falconer, G edgar etc. If you do not get the question properly that is fine to make you understand again. But do not ask such bogus question. | |
| Jun 3, 2010 at 10:07 | comment | added | jeremy | Is there even a well-defined definition of fractal to use to universally categorize them in this manner? | |
