XIII SMS' Session
Fractals

Zarzecze, 4th - 6th April 2003

Zaproszenie
This year we encourage everyone to present talks on the following topics:
  • Basics of fractal geometry. Classical fractals and self-similarity. Iterated function systems. Coding and fractal image compression. Randomness in fractal constructions. [1][2][3][5]
  • Hausdorff-Besicovitch fractal dimension. Fractal and topological dimension. Hausdorff dimension of a trajectory of a fractional Wiener process. [4][5]
  • Julia-Fatou sets. Mandelbrot set. [4][5][1]
  • Discrete dynamical systems, connection with fractal geometry. Feigenbaum bifurcations. Szarkowski order. Henon and Rossler attractors. [7][1][5][6][8][9]
  • Strange attractors. Lorentz system. Poincare-Bendixson theorem. [7][1][5][6][8][9]
