Fractals are intricate geometric structures created when patterns (or pieced of patterns) are altered and duplicated at ever-diminishing scales. Even simple shapes can quickly grow complicated when ...

Every year, tourists spend millions to travel to Barcelona – not least to stroll along the promenade “Las ramblas”, famed to be the most beautiful street in the world. What is it that makes this road ...

The study of Dirichlet forms and Markov processes in fractal geometry offers a robust framework for analysing irregular spaces that do not conform to classical Euclidean structures. Dirichlet forms ...

Fractal geometry has emerged as a powerful analytical framework in geographic analysis, offering new ways to understand the inherent complexity and self‐similarity of urban forms. By focusing on ...

What makes a tree a tree? Or rather, why can we recognize trees in even quite abstract depictions when they are so varied in nature? Researchers have found a clue in the branches, and used math to ...

An interdisciplinary group of researchers uses basic research to obtain hard evidence about how people perceive and navigate their urban environments. The results have now been published in the ...
