In this paper we extend the contraction mapping method to prove various existence and uniqueness properties of (self-similar) random fractal measures, and establish exponential convergence results for ...

Jackson Pollock couldn’t possibly have been thinking of fractals when he started flinging and dripping paint from a stick onto canvas. After all, mathematicians didn’t develop the idea of a fractal ...

A team of researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new method to quantify the three-dimensional complexity of mountainous terrain. The novel ...

PITTSBURGH — A proposed method for authenticating artist Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings does not hold up under scrutiny, a new analysis finds. What’s more, the analysis uncovered a new way to ...

The new study from the team at the University of York suggests that dark matter could leave very faint, measurable marks on ...

Geological time, generally considered as a system of eras, periods and epochs materialized in rock strata, might actually follow a simple and unifying model. Indeed, a new study led by ...
