Following on from the success of <I>Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications</I>, this new sequel presents a variety of techniques in current use for studying the mathematics of fractals. <P> Much of the material presented in this book has come to the fore in recent years. This includes methods for studying dimensions and other parameters of fractal sets and measures, as well as more sophisticated techniques such as thermodynamic formalism and tangent measures. In addition to general theory, many examples and applications are described, in areas such as differential equations and harmonic analysis. <P> This book is mathematically precise, but aims to give an intuitive feel for the subject, with underlying concepts described in a clear and accessible manner. The reader is assumed to be familiar with material from<I> Fractal Geometry</I>, but the main ideas and notation are reviewed in the first two chapters. Each chapter ends with brief notes on the development and current state of the sub |
