Applications of Fractal Signals
Abstract
"Fractal" term - which in Latin languagedefines something fragmented anomalous - wasintroduced in mathematics by B. B. Mandelbrot in1975. He avoided to define it rigorously and used it todesignate some "rugged" and "self-similar"geometrical forms. Fractals were involved in the theoryof chaotic dynamic systems and used to designatecertain specific sets; finally, they were “captured” bygeometry and remarked in tackling of the boundaryproblems. It proved that the fractals can be of interesteven in the signal’s theory.
