Gaussian Self-Affinity and Fractals: Globality, The Earth, 1/f Noise, and R/S (Selecta (Old or New), Volume H)

Benoit Mandelbrot is a world-renowned scientist whose pioneering research significantly advanced the field of fractal geometry. This is the third volume of his Selected Works, focusing on a detailed study of fraction Brownian motions. The fractal themes of \"self-affinity\" and \"globality\" are presented. Extensive introductory material, written especially for this book, precedes the papers and presents a number of striking new observations and conjectures. The mathematical tools discussed will be valuable to diverse scientific communities.<\/P>"
