4 2 box counting method draw a lattice of squares of different sizes e.
Box counting dimension sierpinski carpet.
Next we ll apply this same idea to some fractals that reside in the space between 2 and 3 dimensions.
Box counting analysis results of multifractal objects.
Fractal dimension of the menger sponge.
For the sierpinski gasket we obtain d b log 3 log 2 1 58996.
To calculate this dimension for a fractal.
This makes sense because the sierpinski triangle does a better job filling up a 2 dimensional plane.
111log8 1 893 383log3 d f.
Fractal dimension box counting method.
In fractal geometry the minkowski bouligand dimension also known as minkowski dimension or box counting dimension is a way of determining the fractal dimension of a set s in a euclidean space r n or more generally in a metric space x d it is named after the german mathematician hermann minkowski and the french mathematician georges bouligand.
The gasket is more than 1 dimensional but less than 2 dimensional.
But not all natural fractals are so easy to measure.
The sierpinski carpet is a compact subset of the plane with lebesgue covering dimension 1 and every subset of the plane with these properties is homeomorphic to some subset of the sierpiński carpet.
Note that dimension is indeed in between 1 and 2 and it is higher than the value for the koch curve.
The hausdorff dimension of the carpet is log 8 log 3 1 8928.
We learned in the last section how to compute the dimension of a coastline.
It is relatively easy to determine the fractal dimension of geometric fractals such as the sierpinski triangle.
This leads to the definition of the box counting dimension.
A for the bifractal structure two regions were identified.
The values of these slopes are 1 8927892607 and 1 2618595071 which are respectively the fractal dimension of the sierpinski carpet and the two dimensional cantor set.
