Coupled biological and chemical systems, neural networks, social interacting species, the
Internet and the World Wide Web, are only a few examples of systems composed by a large …

In recent years it has been shown that the structures of a wide variety of colloidal aggregates
can be described in terms of the concepts of fractal geometry. The purpose of this review is …

The use of fractal concepts in understanding various growth phenomena, such as molecular
beam epitaxy (MBE) or fluid flow in porous media, is increasingly important these days. This …

Roughly at the time (1987) when the manuscript for the first three chapters of the present
book was completed, several breakthroughs occurred. They had a profound influence on the …

Diffusion in disordered systems does not follow the classical laws which describe transport
in ordered crystalline media, and this leads to many anomalous physical properties. Since …

Fractal structures are found everywhere in nature, and as a consequence anomalous
diffusion has far reaching implications in a host of phenomena. This book describes diffusion …

An introductory review of the Monte Carlo method for the statistical mechanics of condensed
matter systems is given. Basic principles (random number generation, simple sampling …

Viscoelastic properties of reversible networks formed in solutions of associating polymers
are considered theoretically in the Rouse− Zimm (unentangled) regime. It is shown that the …

This paper focuses on a method proposed for determining f (α)(the singularity spectrum of a
multifractal) directly from experimental data, without first calculating the ''generalized …
