Physics of Fractal Operators

by Mauro Bologna, Bruce J. West, Paolo Grigolini

Book Overview

In Chapter One we review the foundations of statistieal physies and frac- tal functions. Our purpose is to demonstrate the limitations of Hamilton's equations of motion for providing a dynamical basis for the statistics of complex phenomena. The fractal functions are intended as possible models of certain complex phenomena; physical.systems that have long-time mem- ory and/or long-range spatial interactions. Since fractal functions are non- differentiable,...
