The nine review articles in this book give a fairly complete survey of the applications of fractals to astronomical and astrophysical problems. The book is self-contained and written with the particular aim of teaching graduate students how to apply fractal geometry to new problems. After ageneral introduction to the basic concepts, applications are given to astrophysical dynamical systems, to strange attractors of stellar pulsations, to the solar granular pattern, and to both the large-scale structure of the universe - a central theme of the book - and to astronomical data analysis.
This book explores the application of fractal geometry to various problems in astronomy and astrophysics. It is designed for graduate students, providing a self-contained introduction to applying fractal geometry to new problems, followed by specific applications. The content covers astrophysical dynamical systems, strange attractors of stellar pulsations, the solar granular pattern, the large-scale structure of the universe, and astronomical data analysis.
The book offers a comprehensive survey of fractal applications in astronomy, intended to equip graduate students with the tools to apply fractal geometry to new problems. Its self-contained nature and focus on practical application suggest it serves as a valuable resource for researchers and students entering this interdisciplinary field. The inclusion of diverse topics, from stellar pulsations to the large-scale structure of the universe, indicates a broad scope within its specialized domain.
