Fractals are geometric shapes and patterns that may repeat their geometry at smaller or larger scales. It is well established that fractals can describe shapes and surfaces that cannot be represented by the classical Euclidean geometry. An eclectic s...
Fractals are geometric shapes and patterns that can describe the roughness (or irregularity) present in almost every object in nature. Many fractals may repeat their geometry at smaller or larger scales. This paper is the second (and last) part of a...
