Download or read book Fractals and Dynamic Systems in Geoscience written by Tom G. Blenkinsop and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts and methods of fractal geometry penetrate various branches of human knowledge to an increasing degree. This tendency is particularly striking in the geosciences, because many processes occurring in and on the Earth result in time dependences and spatial patterns that have a fractal character. The contributions in this volume arose from the "3rd International Symposium on Fractals and Dynamic Systems in Geosciences", held at Stara Lesna, Slovakia in June, 1997. The volume contains new ideas and applications of fractal geometry in such diverse branches of geoscience as engineering geology, the physics of the lithosphere (including faulting, seismicity, and fluid flow), and climate behavior.

Download or read book Orbital Forcing and Cyclic Sequences written by P. L. DeBoer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-08 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classically orbital cycles have been recognized in pelagic and lacustrine sequences characterized by quiet sedimentation, not disturbed by tectonics. Hoiwever, there is now increasing recognition that orbital cycles do influence climate and oceanography in general terms. There is also increasing acceptance of the possibility at least that the effect should be felt over large parts of the Earth's surface and that orbital cycles may well leave signs in other sedimentary environments that are commonly considered to be dominated by tectonics and eustasy. Containing thirty-one papers from a symposium held at the International Sedimentological Congress in Nottingham in 1990, this volume spans a range of topics from the astronomical theory behind orbital forcing, to field studies dealing with a broad range of sedimentary environments, and to modelling and simulation. State-of-the-art research papers. International expert authorship. The latest research in the highly topical subject of orbital forcing.

Download or read book Chaos Fractals and Noise written by Andrzej Lasota and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of this book was originally published in 1985 under the ti tle "Probabilistic Properties of Deterministic Systems. " In the intervening years, interest in so-called "chaotic" systems has continued unabated but with a more thoughtful and sober eye toward applications, as befits a ma turing field. This interest in the serious usage of the concepts and techniques of nonlinear dynamics by applied scientists has probably been spurred more by the availability of inexpensive computers than by any other factor. Thus, computer experiments have been prominent, suggesting the wealth of phe nomena that may be resident in nonlinear systems. In particular, they allow one to observe the interdependence between the deterministic and probabilistic properties of these systems such as the existence of invariant measures and densities, statistical stability and periodicity, the influence of stochastic perturbations, the formation of attractors, and many others. The aim of the book, and especially of this second edition, is to present recent theoretical methods which allow one to study these effects. We have taken the opportunity in this second edition to not only correct the errors of the first edition, but also to add substantially new material in five sections and a new chapter.

Download or read book A Random Walk Through Fractal Dimensions written by Brian H. Kaye and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-07-11 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fractal geometry is revolutionizing the descriptive mathematics of applied materials systems. Rather than presenting a mathematical treatise, Brian Kaye demonstrates the power of fractal geometry in describing materials ranging from Swiss cheese to pyrolytic graphite. Written from a practical point of view, the author assiduously avoids the use of equations while introducing the reader to numerous interesting and challenging problems in subject areas ranging from geography to fine particle science. The second edition of this successful book provides up-to-date literature coverage of the use of fractal geometry in all areas of science. From reviews of the first edition: "...no stone is left unturned in the quest for applications of fractal geometry to fine particle problems....This book should provide hours of enjoyable reading to those wishing to become acquainted with the ideas of fractal geometry as applied to practical materials problems."

Download or read book Non Linear Dynamics in Geophysics written by Jacques Dubois and published by . This book was released on 1998-07-14 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Linear Dynamics in Geophysics Jacques Dubois Although initiated in the 1960s by the studies of Richardson and Mandelbrot, the study of natural phenomena using the mathematical tools employed for the understanding of ‘chaos’ is comparatively recent. Indeed the field of applications for such techniques is very large because many natural phenomena exhibit chaotic dynamics. In Non-Linear Dynamics in Geophysics, Jacques Dubois presents a new approach to the study of complex, time-dependent natural systems, which are of considerable importance for understanding the solid Earth. He discusses the results of more than ten years’ of studies into the applications of non-linear dynamics theory to a wide range of geophysical systems in areas such as geomorphology, vulcanology, seismology, geomagnetism and natural hazard assessment. The book is divided into four parts, and represents the state-of-the-art in this discipline. The first part is devoted to general theoretical notions and tools: measures, dimensions, fractal sets, dynamic systems, limit cycles and attractors, multi-fractals and wavelet transforms. It is here that the notion of chaos is introduced, and where paths to chaos and chaos control are discussed. Part two describes the applications of these powerful techniques to geophysics: geomorphology, fragmentation, tectonics, seismicity, volcanic eruptions, seismic forecasting algorithms, and geomagnetism. The third part aims at a synthesis and a list of the perspectives offered by this approach. The book concludes with a few traditional illustrations of non-linear dynamics and several theoretical appendices. Readership: Final year undergraduate and postgraduate students of geology, geophysics and the Earth sciences, and scientists studying in these and related areas such as tectonics, seismology and geomagnetism. Industrial experts working on natural hazard and risk assessment, namely fracturing of rocks, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and self-organised criticality applied to natural catastrophes. Mathematicians and mathematical physicists interested in applications of non-linear dynamics theory.
