 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background information

Fractals are geometric patterns characterized by their self-similarity, intricate

detail, and infinite complexity. They exhibit the property of self-repetition, meaning that

smaller components within the pattern resemble the larger whole. This unique property

allows fractals to display complexity on all scales, from microscopic to macroscopic. The

study of fractals has revolutionized our understanding of natural forms, as they can be

found in various phenomena, such as coastlines, clouds, tree branches, and even the

human circulatory system. There are three types of self-similarity found in fractals: Exact

self-similarity — This is the strongest type of self-similarity; the fractal appears identical

at different scales. Fractals defined by iterated function systems often display exact self-

similarity.

History

The concept of fractals was popularized by mathematician Benoit B. Mandelbrot

in his groundbreaking book, "The Fractal Geometry of Nature," published in 1982.

Mandelbrot recognized that many natural forms and phenomena, previously considered

irregular or chaotic, could be accurately described and understood through the framework

4
of fractal geometry. He introduced mathematical tools and algorithms to quantify and

generate fractal patterns, opening up a new field of study with vast implications across

disciplines.

Application

Fractals have since become a powerful tool in mathematics, providing insights

into complex systems, chaos theory, and non-linear dynamics. In computer science,

fractals have been employed for generating realistic graphics, simulating natural

environments, and designing fractal-based algorithms for data compression and

encryption. Artists and designers have embraced fractals for their aesthetic appeal,

incorporating them into visual arts, architecture, and digital media.

Moreover, fractals have found practical applications in various scientific and

engineering fields. For example, in civil engineering, fractal analysis has been used to

study the structural properties of materials, understand the behavior of concrete and rock

fractures, and optimize the design of infrastructure for improved strength and durability

(Wang & Tang, 2023). Fractals have also been applied in the study of fluid dynamics,

weather patterns, ecological systems, and financial markets, providing valuable insights

into the underlying patterns and processes governing these complex phenomena.

Given the ubiquity and significance of fractals in the natural world and their

potential for practical applications, further investigation into their properties,

mathematical formulations, and practical implementations is crucial. This scientific

investigation aims to deepen our understanding of fractals, explore their diverse

applications, and contribute to the growing body of knowledge in this fascinating field.

By uncovering the underlying principles of fractal geometry, we can potentially unlock

new avenues for innovation and problem-solving across disciplines.

1.2 Statement of the research problem or objectives
The research problem revolves around investigating the theory and applications

of fractals, exploring their significance and potential in different domains. The objectives

of this investigation include are: Understanding the fundamental concepts and definitions

related to fractals. Reviewing existing research and theories on fractals, examining

notable examples and applications of fractals in various fields and, identifying limitations

in current literature on fractals.

1.3 Justification
The Justification of this research is Fractals Importance in science, mathematics

and real life. The necessity of fractional dimensions arises when we try to quantize the

“size” of certain sets that are not simple and are often hard to conceptualize since they are

not simple figures (squares, triangles, rhombus etc.). Fractals provide a systematic

method to capture the “roughness” of some objects. In order to utilize fractals and

understand them mathematically we will need a rigorous approach with clear, precise

definitions. To do this we must first become acquainted with them.

Literature Review

2.1 Overview of existing research and theories on fractals.

According to Yang et al. [5] investigated the fractal characteristics of the

desiccation cracking of soil under different substrate contact and permeability conditions.

The crack morphology under different spacing was also analyzed quantitatively using

digital image processing technology. They found that the fractal dimensions of three soil

substrate contact conditions (grease, geomembranes, and geotextiles) were between 1.238

and 1.93. When the crack network on the soil surface stops developing, the fractal

dimensions under the three experimental conditions are 1.88, 1.93, and 1.79, respectively.

Zhang et al. [6] analyzed the effect of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash

(MSWIFA) content on the mechanical performance and pore structure of geopolymer

mortar by conducting compression and mercury intrusion torsimeter (MIP) tests. The

results showed that the compressive strength of geopolymer mortars decreased while the

total pore volume and total specific surface area of mortars increased with the increase in

MSWIFA content. The pore structure in the mortars showed scale-dependent fractal

7
characteristics. All fractal curves were divided into four segments according to the pore

diameter, namely, Region I (<20 nm), Region II (20–50 nm), Region III (50–200 nm),

and Region IV (>200 nm).

Benoit B. Mandelbrot's book, "The Fractal Geometry of Nature," explores fractal

geometry and its applications. Mandelbrot introduces fractals as mathematical objects

characterized by self-similarity and intricate patterns. He demonstrates their prevalence

in natural phenomena and discusses their departure from traditional Euclidean geometry.

Mandelbrot acknowledges the strengths and limitations of fractal geometry and

encourages interdisciplinary exploration.

Negi, Garg, and Agrawal (2014) present a methodology for constructing 3D

Mandelbrot and Julia sets using computer algorithms. They leverage computational

techniques to generate these fractal sets, contributing to the understanding of their visual

representations and mathematical properties. The study explores potential applications in

computer graphics, art, and visualization, enhancing the utilization of fractals in digital

imagery.

The study conducted by Negi, Garg, and Agrawal (2014) explores the construction

of 3D Mandelbrot and Julia sets using computer algorithms. The Mandelbrot set is a

famous fractal that exhibits intricate and self-similar patterns, while the Julia set is closely

related and equally captivating. The researchers propose a methodology for generating

these fractal sets in three dimensions, leveraging the power of computational algorithms

and graphics rendering techniques. The investigation aims to provide a deeper

understanding of the visual representations and mathematical properties of the 3D

Mandelbrot and Julia sets, offering insights into their complexity and potential

applications in computer graphics, art, and visualizations. The findings of this research

8
contribute to the ongoing exploration and utilization of fractals in the realm of computer

science and digital imagery.

2.2 Key concepts and definitions related to fractals.

Metric Spaces

Definition 1. The diameter of a subset A of a metric space S is diam A = sup{ρ(x,

y) : x, y ∈ A}. In other words, the diameter of A is the distance between the two most

distant points of A, if such points exist. The diameter of a set will be a crucial form of

measurement used later to compute the Hausdorff dimension. The convex hull of any set

A has the same diameter as A itself. It should be noted here that the diameter of an open

set A is equivalent to the diameter of the closure of the set, A.

From Negi, A., Garg, A., & Agrawal, A. (2014):

Fractal: A complex geometric shape or pattern that exhibits self-similarity at various

scales or magnifications.

Mandelbrot Set: A specific type of fractal set defined by a mathematical formula that

produces intricate and infinitely detailed patterns.

Julia Set: Another type of fractal set closely related to the Mandelbrot set,

characterized by its own unique shapes and structures.

From Wang, L., & Tang, S. (2023):

Fractals in Civil Engineering Materials: The investigation explores the application

of fractals in the study and analysis of civil engineering materials. It examines the self-

similarity, scaling properties, and fractal dimensions of various materials to understand

their structural and mechanical characteristics.

From Mandelbrot, B. B., & Mandelbrot, B. B. (1982):

Fractal Geometry: A branch of mathematics that studies geometric shapes or objects

that display self-similarity and have non-integer dimensions. It provides a framework for

9
understanding and quantifying complex natural phenomena with irregular and intricate

structures.

Other Keywords: IFS, 3D images, 3D rendering, Mandelbrot set and Julia set, affine

transformation, Self-similarity, Non-Euclidean geometry, Complex systems.

2.3 Notable examples and applications of fractals.

There are also many examples of fractals that are constructed mathematically. One

of the most famous examples is the triadic Cantor Dust set. This set is created via the

repeated deletion of the open middle third interval of a line segment. Another very popular

example is the Seirpinski Triangle (Figure 2). The von Koch snowflake is another famous

fractal (Figure 2). Many fractals can be constructed through an iteration process and use

self-similar shapes. Take the von Koch snowflake as an example. Beginning with an

equilateral triangle one deletes the middle third of each side segment. Then two lines,

10
equal to the. length of the deleted segment, are placed to create an outward facing

“triangle” on each of the original triangle sides. This process is repeated, thus forming

“mountain peaks” built on “mountain peaks”.

Another example is the Brownian Pangea.

2.4 Evaluation of gaps or limitations in current literature

The fractals investigated above were not random. However, many fractals in the

complex plane seem to be very random. The Mandelbrot set is the set of all points c ∈ C

such that, upon iteration, the function fc(z) = z 2 + c, beginning at z = 0, remains close to

zero. It is impossible to note every element in the set. Even two complex numbers, that

are arbitrarily close to one another in the complex plane, may have completely different

sequences, one diverging to ∞ while the other point remains close to 0 or converges to 0.

In particular, the boundary of this set exhibits complicated structures at all levels.

The mathematical complexities of the Mandelbrot set have yet to be studied in

detail. We do know that the Mandelbrot set is connected, though the proof is beyond the

scope of this paper. One can also note that the Mandelbrot set has a finite area. Each of

the complex numbers that lie in the Mandelbrot set, denoted M, are all within a distance

of 2 from the origin. That is, every z ∈ M lies inside the circle with radius 2, otherwise

11
denoted |z| ≤ 2. However, this doesn’t tell us the area of the set M. In order to calculate

the area of the set one would have to run infinitely many iterations, all infinitely long.

Therefore, finite estimates of the area is where mathematics is currently at. The circle

with radius 2 gives an upper bound area of 12.6. Using the points furthest from the origin

and forming a rectangle gives an upper bound area of 5.5.

Self- Similarity Dimension

The self-similarity dimension is a simplification of the Hausdorff dimension which

can be applied to exactly self-similar objects. The following analysis of the Koch

Snowflake suggests how self-similarity can be used to analyze fractal properties.

The total length of a number, N, of small steps, L, is the product NL. Applied to the

boundary of the Koch snowflake this gives a boundless length as L approaches zero. But

this distinction is not satisfactory, as different Koch snowflakes do have different sizes.

::::::::A solution is to measure, not in meter, m, nor in square meter, m², but in some

other power of a meter, mx. Now 4N(L/3)x = NLx, because a three times shorter step

length requires four times as many steps, as is seen from the figure. Solving that

equation gives x = (log 4)/(log 3) ≈ 1.26186. So the unit of measurement of the

boundary of the Koch snowflake is approximately m1.26186.

More generally, suppose that a fractal consists of N identical parts that are similar to

the entire fractal with the scale factor of L and that the intersection between part is of the

Lebesgue measure 0. Then the Hausdorff dimension of the fractal is . For

example, the Hausdorff dimension of

 the Cantor set is ,

 the Sierpinski gasket is ,

12
  the Sierpinski carpet is ,

and so on. Even more generally one may assume that each of N parts is similar to the

fractal with a different scale factor Li, i = 1...N. Then the Hausdorff dimension can be

calculated by solving the following equation in the variable s:

Methodology

The methodology section will outline the research design and approach employed

in this investigation. It will describe the process of data collection, which may involve

reviewing scholarly articles, books, and research papers on fractals. The section will also

explain the data analysis techniques used to interpret the gathered information. Ethical

considerations, such as ensuring proper citation and avoiding plagiarism, will be

addressed as well.

3.1 Research design and approach

Fractal formulas are essential tools in understanding and exploring the

fascinating world of fractal geometry. These formulas provide a mathematical

representation of complex and intricate fractal patterns, allowing researchers and

enthusiasts to study their properties, analyze their behavior, and create visually

captivating fractal images.

The Main methods are:

- Iterated Function Systems (IFS)

13
 - Escape-Time Algorithm

- Box-Counting Method

- Multifractal Analysis

- Computer Simulations and Modeling: Julia and MAndelbrot Set.

However, we will describe the main three methodologies: Mandelbrot set, Julia Set

and IFS.

3.2 Description of data collecting methods

Iterated Function Systems

Iterated Function Systems (IFS) is a mathematical framework commonly used for

generating self-similar fractals. The formula for generating fractals using IFS involves

applying a set of affine transformations iteratively to an initial point. The general

formula is as follows:

xₙ₊₁ = aᵢxₙ + bᵢyₙ + eᵢ yₙ₊₁ = cᵢxₙ + dᵢyₙ + fᵢ

Mandelbrot Set Formula

The formula used to generate the Mandelbrot Set is based on complex number

iteration. Given a complex number c, the formula is defined as:

Zₙ₊₁ = Zₙ² + c

Julia Set Formula:

The Julia Set is also generated using complex number iteration, but with a

constant value c throughout the computation. The formula for the Julia Set is similar to

the Mandelbrot Set formula:

Zₙ₊₁ = Zₙ² + c

14
 Ex 3. Fractals in Cartography

3.3 Explanation Of the data analysis techniques

Iterated Function Systems (IFS)

Here, (xₙ, yₙ) represents the coordinates of the point at iteration n, and (xₙ₊₁, yₙ₊₁)

represents the coordinates of the point at the next iteration. The coefficients aᵢ, bᵢ, cᵢ, dᵢ,

eᵢ, and fᵢ correspond to the parameters of the affine transformations, which determine

how the point is transformed.

The IFS formula can be extended to accommodate a set of affine transformations,

typically denoted as {fᵢ(x, y)}, where i ranges from 1 to N. In this case, the formula

becomes:

(xₙ₊₁, yₙ₊₁) = fᵢ(xₙ, yₙ)

The choice of coefficients and affine transformations determines the specific fractal

generated using the IFS framework. Each transformation represents a contraction or

expansion, rotation, translation, or any combination of these operations, which

collectively produce the self-similar patterns observed in fractals.

Mandelbrot Set Formula:

15
 Here, Zₙ represents the complex number at iteration n, and Z₀ is usually set to 0.

The iteration continues until the magnitude of Zₙ exceeds a predetermined threshold,

indicating that it tends towards infinity. The color or shading assigned to each point in

the complex plane corresponds to the number of iterations taken to reach the threshold.

Julia Set Formula:

Here, Zₙ represents the complex number at iteration n, and the initial value of Z₀

varies across the complex plane. The color or shading assigned to each point

corresponds to the behavior of the iterations of Zₙ for that specific value of c.

Fractal Dimension Formula:

Here, N represents the number of boxes of size ε that intersect with the fractal

object or pattern. By varying the size of the boxes and observing how N changes, the

fractal dimension can be approximated. It's important to note that there are numerous

other formulas associated with different types of fractals, such as the formulas for

generating the Sierpinski Triangle, the Koch Snowflake, and the Cantor Set. These

formulas can vary depending on the specific fractal being studied.

3.4 Ethical considerations (if applicable).

Ethical considerations in fractals investigations are essential to ensure responsible

research practices and protect the interests of participants and stakeholders. While fractals

research may not always involve direct human subjects, there are still important ethical

considerations to take into account.

One aspect is the responsible use of data. Fractals investigations often involve

collecting and analyzing various data sources, such as images, measurements, or

simulations. Researchers must ensure that the data they use is obtained in an ethical

manner, respecting privacy, confidentiality, and consent. If the research involves human

16
subjects, appropriate consent procedures should be followed, and data should be

anonymized and stored securely to protect participants' identities.

Another ethical consideration is the responsible dissemination and communication of

research findings. Researchers should strive for transparency and accuracy in reporting

their results, avoiding misrepresentation or exaggeration of findings. They should also

consider the potential implications and applications of their research. Fractals

investigations may have implications in fields such as art, design, finance, or technology.

Researchers should be mindful of the potential impact of their findings and ensure that

they are communicated responsibly, considering the broader societal implications.

Results and Analysis

4.1 Presentation of findings, including data, visuals or other relevant

materials.

4.2 Interpretation and explanation of the results.

From the information we can interpret Fractals relevance in history and all sciences.

In the 20th century more so than in preceding ones, mathematics is influenced and often

dominated by the search for generality for its own sake. The results that this search

achieves (for example, the properties true of all curves) are typically of little use in

science. Science had exhausted the old curves of Euclid and was in dire need of new ones,

but it needed curves that are sufficiently special to have interesting properties subject to

comparison with natural phenomena. Mathematics of intermediate generality created

around 1900 involved a cache of curves and other shapes that the “mainstream” had

17
leapfrogged much too hastily, and fractal geometry is the new discipline that is being built

around this cache.

4.3 Comparative analysis with existing research or theories

dynamics, computer science, and visual arts. The investigation has provided notable

examples of these applications, showcasing how fractals can be used to analyze and

optimize structures, simulate natural phenomena, generate realistic graphics, and enhance

artistic creations.

Fractals serve as a bridge between mathematics and the natural world. The

investigation has revealed the prevalence of fractal patterns in various natural phenomena,

such as soil cracking, geopolymer mortar, and the structure of materials. This

understanding can lead to improved analysis and prediction of natural processes, as well

as the development of innovative solutions in engineering and environmental sciences.

In conclusion, this investigation into fractals has provided significant insights into

their properties, applications, and mathematical foundations. The results have

implications for multiple disciplines and highlight the importance of further research in

this fascinating field. By deepening our understanding of fractals, we can unlock new
