Assouad Dimension and Fractal Geometry (Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics, Series Number 222)

Cambridge University Press, 2020

The Assouad dimension is a notion of dimension in fractal geometry that has been the subject of much interest in recent years. This book, written by a world expert on the topic, is the first thorough account of the Assouad dimension and its many variants and applications in fractal geometry and beyond. It places the theory of the Assouad...

Self-Similar Processes in Telecommunications

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

For the first time the problems of voice services self-similarity are discussed systematically and in detail with specific examples and illustrations.

‘Self-Similar Processes in Telecommunications’ considers the self-similar (fractal and multifractal) models of telecommunication traffic and efficiency...

Iterated Function Systems for Real-Time Image Synthesis

Springer, 2007

Natural phenomena can be visually described with fractal-geometry methods, where iterative procedures rather than equations are used to model objects. With the development of better modelling algorithms, the efficiency of rendering, the realism of computer-generated scenes and the interactivity of visual stimuli are reaching astonishing levels....

The Fractal Geometry of Nature

W. H. Freeman, 1983

Imagine an equilateral triangle. Now, imagine smaller equilateral triangles perched in the center of each side of the original triangle--you have a Star of David. Now, place still smaller equilateral triangles in the center of each of the star's 12 sides. Repeat this process infinitely and you have a Koch snowflake, a mind-bending geometric...

Grammatical Picture Generation: A Tree-Based Approach

Springer, 2006

This book introduces the reader to the notions, the techniques, and the theory of grammatical picture generation, a research field focusing on formal systems that describe sets of pictures by means of syntactic rules. The book presents important types of picture generators, using a tree-based approach to stress their common algorithmic basis, the...

Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

An accessible introduction to fractals, useful as a text or reference. Part I is concerned with the general theory of fractals and their geometry, covering dimensions and their methods of calculation, plus the local form of fractals and their projections and intersections. Part II contains examples of fractals drawn from a wide variety of areas in...

Java Number Cruncher: The Java Programmer's Guide to Numerical Computing

Prentice Hall, 2002

In Java Number Cruncher, author Ronald Mak explains how to spot-and how to avoid-the subtle programming miscues that can cause vexing calculation errors in your applications. An authority on mapping pure math to computer math, he explains how to use the often-overlooked computational features of...

Mastering Algorithms with Perl

O'Reilly, 1999

Many programmers would love to use Perl for projects that involve heavy lifting, but miss the many traditional algorithms that textbooks teach for other languages. Computer scientists have identified many techniques that a wide range of programs need, such as:

Fuzzy pattern matching for text (identify misspellings!) ...

The Image Processing Handbook, Third Edition

CRC Press, 1998

Image Processing Handbook covers methods for two different purposes:

improving the visual appearance of images to a human viewer

preparing images for measurement of the features and structures present

The handbook presents an extensive collection of image processing tools, enabling the user of computer-based system to...

Fractal Image Compression: Theory and Application

Springer, 1994

What is "Fractal Image Compression" anyway? You will have to read (he book to find out everything about it, and if you read the book, you really will find out almost everything that is currently known about it. In a sentence or two: fractal image compression is a method, or class of methods, that allows images to be stored on...

Computational Intelligence In Software Quality Assurance (Series in Machine Perception & Artifical Intelligence)

World Scientific Publishing, 2005

Software systems are at once the most complex and the least reliable technological systems human beings construct. A large software system can have over lo2' states, and the reliability of software is infamously poor. Software engineers must usually make assertions about the reliability of software systems after having observed only an...

Disruptive Security Technologies with Mobile Code and Peer-to-Peer Networks

CRC Press, 2004

The traditional fortress mentality of system security has proven ineffective to attacks by disruptive technologies. This is due largely to their reactive nature. Disruptive security technologies, on the other hand, are proactive in their approach to attacks. They allow systems to adapt to incoming threats, removing many of the vulnerabilities...
