Effect of Heterogeneity in Initial Geographic Distribution on Opinions’ Competitiveness
Spin dynamics on networks allows us to understand how a global consensus emerges out of individual opinions. Here, we are interested in the effect of heterogeneity in the initial geographic distribution of a competing opinion on the competitiveness of ...

Vaccines Alone Cannot Slow the Evolution of SARS-CoV-2
The rapid emergence of immune-evading viral variants of SARS-CoV-2 calls into question the practicality of a vaccine-only public-health strategy for managing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It has been suggested that widespread vaccination is necessary to

A fractal function is a function whose graph is the attractor of an iterated function system. This paper generalizes analytic continuation of an analytic function to continuation of a fractal function.

Application of Fractal Dimension for Quantifying Noise Texture in Computed Tomography Images [PDF]
Purpose Evaluation of noise texture information in CT images is important for assessing image quality. Noise texture is often quantified by the noise power spectrum (NPS), which requires numerous image realizations to estimate.

Fractal and multifractal spatiotemporal patterns of land surface temperatures in a coastal city
In order to discover the fractal and multifractal nature of land surface temperature (LST) spatiotemporal patterns, this study computed the LST in thecoastal city, Xiamen, southeastern China using Landsat TM/OLI/TIRS images from 1994 to 2015, and ...

Skeleton and fractal scaling in complex networks [PDF]
We find that the fractal scaling in a class of scale-free networks originates from the underlying tree structure called skeleton, a special type of spanning tree based on the edge betweenness centrality.

WHEN INVESTIGATING FRACTAL PHENOMENA, THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL FOR THE APPLIED RESEARCHER: (1) What are essential statistical properties of 1/f noise? (2) Which estimators are available for measuring fractality? (3) Which measurement instruments are appropriate and how are they applied?
