Fractals deal with special sets that exhibit complicated patterns in every scale. Fractal sets usually have a Hausdorff dimension different from its topological dimension. Examples include Julia sets, the Sierpinski triangle, the Cantor set. Fractals naturally appear in dynamical system, such as iterations in the complex plane, or as strange attractors to continuous dynamical systems, (see Lorentz attractor).

Fractal dimension of 1D set, what if logN vs log(e) is a polygonal chain?

The canonical reference for this material (at least with the people I hang out with) is Ken Falconer's Fractal Geometry Mathematical Foundations and Applications. For most sets that are fully self-s …

notable inductive proofs relating to fractals

Spectral decimation is an inductive process where the eigenvalues of a natural Laplacian on "nice" fractals is computed inductively. … The local definition of "nice" for this answer is either post-critically finite fractals or finitely ramified with a doubly transitive symmetry group fractals. …
