This notion of fractal dimension can be generalized to that of complex dimension, which may be used to deduce geometrical information regarding the local oscillations in the geometry of the fractal. For example, the complex dimensions of a fractal string (such as the Cantor string) may be used to write an explicit tube formula for the volume of ...
Music theory analyzes the pitch, timing, and structure of music. It uses mathematics to study elements of music such as tempo, chord progression, form, and meter. The attempt to structure and communicate new ways of composing and hearing music has led to musical applications of set theory, abstract algebra and number theory.
The structure shown is made of 4 generator units and is iterated 3 times. The fractal dimension for the theoretical structure is log 50/log 10 = 1.6990. Images generated with Fractal Generator for ImageJ [23]. Generator for 50 Segment Fractal. 1.7227: Pinwheel fractal: Built with Conway's Pinwheel tile.
Examples of ball packing, ball covering, and box covering. It is possible to define the box dimensions using balls, with either the covering number or the packing number. The covering number () is the minimal number of open balls of radius required to cover the fractal, or in other words, such that their union contains the fractal.
Escape-time fractals – use a formula or recurrence relation at each point in a space (such as the complex plane); usually quasi-self-similar; also known as "orbit" fractals; e.g., the Mandelbrot set, Julia set, Burning Ship fractal, Nova fractal and Lyapunov fractal. The 2d vector fields that are generated by one or two iterations of escape ...
Algorithmic composition is the technique of using algorithms to create music.. Algorithms (or, at the very least, formal sets of rules) have been used to compose music for centuries; the procedures used to plot voice-leading in Western counterpoint, for example, can often be reduced to algorithmic determinacy.
The Mandelbrot set within a continuously colored environment. The Mandelbrot set (/ ˈ m æ n d əl b r oʊ t,-b r ɒ t /) [1] [2] is a two-dimensional set with a relatively simple definition that exhibits great complexity, especially as it is magnified.
A 4K UHD 3D Mandelbulb video A ray-marched image of the 3D Mandelbulb for the iteration v ↦ v 8 + c. The Mandelbulb is a three-dimensional fractal, constructed for the first time in 1997 by Jules Ruis and further developed in 2009 by Daniel White and Paul Nylander using spherical coordinates.
