Interplay Of Fractals And Complexity In Mathematical Modelling And Physical Patterns

This book presents selected, peer-reviewed contributions from the International Symposium on Mathematical Analysis of Fractals and Dynamical Systems—2023 (ISMAFDS - 2023), held at the Department of Mathematics, School of Advanced Sciences, Vellore Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu in India during August 24-25, 2023. It offers readers an array of captivating connections between fractal theory and nonlinear dynamics across various physics sub-domains and mathematical modeling. Fractal geometry has been developed to describe irregular natural objects that defy characterization using Euclidean geometry. Fractal techniques, such as fractal dimension and fractal functions, prove effective in mathematically modeling real-world phenomena and forecasting future consequences. The impact of fractal theory on physical sciences is widely recognized, as natural phenomena frequently exhibit fractal structures. These new concepts revolutionize our understanding of the large-scale properties of matter distribution in the universe. The book aims to familiarize readers with recent developments in common fractal patterns found in statistical physics, quantum physics, and plasma physics. Furthermore, it highlights the relationship between fractals and nonlinear dynamics through innovative approaches in mathematical modeling. This publication caters to professionals in mathematics, physics, and computer science, and also serves as a helpful resource for non-specialists seeking to comprehend fractal and nonlinear dynamics concepts. It offers valuable applications for researchers in both pure and applied backgrounds of physics and engineering.
