INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background information
Fractals are geometric patterns characterized by their self-similarity, intricate
detail, and infinite complexity. They exhibit the property of self-repetition, meaning that
smaller components within the pattern resemble the larger whole. This unique property
allows fractals to display complexity on all scales, from microscopic to macroscopic. The
study of fractals has revolutionized our understanding of natural forms, as they can be
found in various phenomena, such as coastlines, clouds, tree branches, and even the
human circulatory system. There are three types of self-similarity found in fractals: Exact
self-similarity — This is the strongest type of self-similarity; the fractal appears identical
at different scales. Fractals defined by iterated function systems often display exact self-
similarity.
History
The concept of fractals was popularized by mathematician Benoit B. Mandelbrot
in his groundbreaking book, "The Fractal Geometry of Nature," published in 1982.
Mandelbrot recognized that many natural forms and phenomena, previously considered
irregular or chaotic, could be accurately described and understood through the framework
4
of fractal geometry. He introduced mathematical tools and algorithms to quantify and
generate fractal patterns, opening up a new field of study with vast implications across
disciplines.
Application
Fractals have since become a powerful tool in mathematics, providing insights
into complex systems, chaos theory, and non-linear dynamics. In computer science,
fractals have been employed for generating realistic graphics, simulating natural
environments, and designing fractal-based algorithms for data compression and
encryption. Artists and designers have embraced fractals for their aesthetic appeal,
incorporating them into visual arts, architecture, and digital media.
Moreover, fractals have found practical applications in various scientific and
engineering fields. For example, in civil engineering, fractal analysis has been used to
study the structural properties of materials, understand the behavior of concrete and rock
fractures, and optimize the design of infrastructure for improved strength and durability
(Wang & Tang, 2023). Fractals have also been applied in the study of fluid dynamics,
weather patterns, ecological systems, and financial markets, providing valuable insights
into the underlying patterns and processes governing these complex phenomena.
Given the ubiquity and significance of fractals in the natural world and their
potential for practical applications, further investigation into their properties,
mathematical formulations, and practical implementations is crucial. This scientific
investigation aims to deepen our understanding of fractals, explore their diverse
applications, and contribute to the growing body of knowledge in this fascinating field.
By uncovering the underlying principles of fractal geometry, we can potentially unlock
new avenues for innovation and problem-solving across disciplines.

1.2 Statement of the research problem or objectives
The research problem revolves around investigating the theory and applications
of fractals, exploring their significance and potential in different domains. The objectives
of this investigation include are: Understanding the fundamental concepts and definitions
related to fractals. Reviewing existing research and theories on fractals, examining
notable examples and applications of fractals in various fields and, identifying limitations

1.3 Justification
The Justification of this research is Fractals Importance in science, mathematics
and real life. The necessity of fractional dimensions arises when we try to quantize the
“size” of certain sets that are not simple and are often hard to conceptualize since they are
not simple figures (squares, triangles, rhombus etc.). Fractals provide a systematic
method to capture the “roughness” of some objects. In order to utilize fractals and
understand them mathematically we will need a rigorous approach with clear, precise
definitions. To do this we must first become acquainted with them.

Literature Review
2.1 Overview of existing research and theories on fractals.
According to Yang et al. [5] investigated the fractal characteristics of the
desiccation cracking of soil under different substrate contact and permeability conditions.
The crack morphology under different spacing was also analyzed quantitatively using
digital image processing technology. They found that the fractal dimensions of three soil
substrate contact conditions (grease, geomembranes, and geotextiles) were between 1.238
and 1.93. When the crack network on the soil surface stops developing, the fractal
dimensions under the three experimental conditions are 1.88, 1.93, and 1.79, respectively.
Zhang et al. [6] analyzed the effect of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash
(MSWIFA) content on the mechanical performance and pore structure of geopolymer
mortar by conducting compression and mercury intrusion torsimeter (MIP) tests. The
results showed that the compressive strength of geopolymer mortars decreased while the
total pore volume and total specific surface area of mortars increased with the increase in
MSWIFA content. The pore structure in the mortars showed scale-dependent fractal
7
characteristics. All fractal curves were divided into four segments according to the pore
diameter, namely, Region I (<20 nm), Region II (20–50 nm), Region III (50–200 nm),
and Region IV (>200 nm).
Benoit B. Mandelbrot's book, "The Fractal Geometry of Nature," explores fractal
geometry and its applications. Mandelbrot introduces fractals as mathematical objects
characterized by self-similarity and intricate patterns. He demonstrates their prevalence
in natural phenomena and discusses their departure from traditional Euclidean geometry.
Mandelbrot acknowledges the strengths and limitations of fractal geometry and
encourages interdisciplinary exploration.
Negi, Garg, and Agrawal (2014) present a methodology for constructing 3D
Mandelbrot and Julia sets using computer algorithms. They leverage computational
techniques to generate these fractal sets, contributing to the understanding of their visual
representations and mathematical properties. The study explores potential applications in
computer graphics, art, and visualization, enhancing the utilization of fractals in digital
imagery.
The study conducted by Negi, Garg, and Agrawal (2014) explores the construction
of 3D Mandelbrot and Julia sets using computer algorithms. The Mandelbrot set is a
famous fractal that exhibits intricate and self-similar patterns, while the Julia set is closely
related and equally captivating. The researchers propose a methodology for generating
these fractal sets in three dimensions, leveraging the power of computational algorithms
and graphics rendering techniques. The investigation aims to provide a deeper
understanding of the visual representations and mathematical properties of the 3D
Mandelbrot and Julia sets, offering insights into their complexity and potential
applications in computer graphics, art, and visualizations. The findings of this research
8
contribute to the ongoing exploration and utilization of fractals in the realm of computer
science and digital imagery.
2.2 Key concepts and definitions related to fractals.
Metric Spaces
Definition 1. The diameter of a subset A of a metric space S is diam A = sup{ρ(x,
y) : x, y ∈ A}. In other words, the diameter of A is the distance between the two most
distant points of A, if such points exist. The diameter of a set will be a crucial form of
measurement used later to compute the Hausdorff dimension. The convex hull of any set
A has the same diameter as A itself. It should be noted here that the diameter of an open
set A is equivalent to the diameter of the closure of the set, A.
From Negi, A., Garg, A., & Agrawal, A. (2014):
Fractal: A complex geometric shape or pattern that exhibits self-similarity at various
scales or magnifications.
Mandelbrot Set: A specific type of fractal set defined by a mathematical formula that
produces intricate and infinitely detailed patterns.
Julia Set: Another type of fractal set closely related to the Mandelbrot set,
characterized by its own unique shapes and structures.
From Wang, L., & Tang, S. (2023):
Fractals in Civil Engineering Materials: The investigation explores the application
of fractals in the study and analysis of civil engineering materials. It examines the self-
similarity, scaling properties, and fractal dimensions of various materials to understand
their structural and mechanical characteristics.
From Mandelbrot, B. B., & Mandelbrot, B. B. (1982):
Fractal Geometry: A branch of mathematics that studies geometric shapes or objects
that display self-similarity and have non-integer dimensions. It provides a framework for
9
understanding and quantifying complex natural phenomena with irregular and intricate
structures.
Other Keywords: IFS, 3D images, 3D rendering, Mandelbrot set and Julia set, affine
transformation, Self-similarity, Non-Euclidean geometry, Complex systems.
2.3 Notable examples and applications of fractals.
There are also many examples of fractals that are constructed mathematically. One
of the most famous examples is the triadic Cantor Dust set. This set is created via the
repeated deletion of the open middle third interval of a line segment. Another very popular
example is the Seirpinski Triangle (Figure 2). The von Koch snowflake is another famous
fractal (Figure 2). Many fractals can be constructed through an iteration process and use
self-similar shapes. Take the von Koch snowflake as an example. Beginning with an
equilateral triangle one deletes the middle third of each side segment. Then two lines,
10
equal to the. length of the deleted segment, are placed to create an outward facing
“triangle” on each of the original triangle sides. This process is repeated, thus forming
“mountain peaks” built on “mountain peaks”.
Another example is the Brownian Pangea.
2.4 Evaluation of gaps or limitations in current literature
The fractals investigated above were not random. However, many fractals in the
complex plane seem to be very random. The Mandelbrot set is the set of all points c ∈ C
such that, upon iteration, the function fc(z) = z 2 + c, beginning at z = 0, remains close to
zero. It is impossible to note every element in the set. Even two complex numbers, that
are arbitrarily close to one another in the complex plane, may have completely different
sequences, one diverging to ∞ while the other point remains close to 0 or converges to 0.
In particular, the boundary of this set exhibits complicated structures at all levels.
The mathematical complexities of the Mandelbrot set have yet to be studied in
detail. We do know that the Mandelbrot set is connected, though the proof is beyond the
scope of this paper. One can also note that the Mandelbrot set has a finite area. Each of
the complex numbers that lie in the Mandelbrot set, denoted M, are all within a distance
of 2 from the origin. That is, every z ∈ M lies inside the circle with radius 2, otherwise
11
denoted |z| ≤ 2. However, this doesn’t tell us the area of the set M. In order to calculate
the area of the set one would have to run infinitely many iterations, all infinitely long.
Therefore, finite estimates of the area is where mathematics is currently at. The circle
with radius 2 gives an upper bound area of 12.6. Using the points furthest from the origin
and forming a rectangle gives an upper bound area of 5.5.
Self- Similarity Dimension
The self-similarity dimension is a simplification of the Hausdorff dimension which
can be applied to exactly self-similar objects. The following analysis of the Koch
Snowflake suggests how self-similarity can be used to analyze fractal properties.
The total length of a number, N, of small steps, L, is the product NL. Applied to the
boundary of the Koch snowflake this gives a boundless length as L approaches zero. But
this distinction is not satisfactory, as different Koch snowflakes do have different sizes.
::::::::A solution is to measure, not in meter, m, nor in square meter, m², but in some
other power of a meter, mx. Now 4N(L/3)x = NLx, because a three times shorter step
length requires four times as many steps, as is seen from the figure. Solving that
equation gives x = (log 4)/(log 3) ≈ 1.26186. So the unit of measurement of the
boundary of the Koch snowflake is approximately m1.26186.
More generally, suppose that a fractal consists of N identical parts that are similar to
the entire fractal with the scale factor of L and that the intersection between part is of the
Lebesgue measure 0. Then the Hausdorff dimension of the fractal is . For
example, the Hausdorff dimension of
the Cantor set is ,
the Sierpinski gasket is ,
12
the Sierpinski carpet is ,
and so on. Even more generally one may assume that each of N parts is similar to the
fractal with a different scale factor Li, i = 1...N. Then the Hausdorff dimension can be
calculated by solving the following equation in the variable s:
Methodology
The methodology section will outline the research design and approach employed
in this investigation. It will describe the process of data collection, which may involve
reviewing scholarly articles, books, and research papers on fractals. The section will also
explain the data analysis techniques used to interpret the gathered information. Ethical
considerations, such as ensuring proper citation and avoiding plagiarism, will be
addressed as well.
3.1 Research design and approach
Fractal formulas are essential tools in understanding and exploring the
fascinating world of fractal geometry. These formulas provide a mathematical
representation of complex and intricate fractal patterns, allowing researchers and
enthusiasts to study their properties, analyze their behavior, and create visually
captivating fractal images.
The Main methods are:
- Iterated Function Systems (IFS)
13
- Escape-Time Algorithm
- Box-Counting Method
- Multifractal Analysis
- Computer Simulations and Modeling: Julia and MAndelbrot Set.
However, we will describe the main three methodologies: Mandelbrot set, Julia Set
and IFS.
3.2 Description of data collecting methods
Iterated Function Systems
Iterated Function Systems (IFS) is a mathematical framework commonly used for
generating self-similar fractals. The formula for generating fractals using IFS involves
applying a set of affine transformations iteratively to an initial point. The general
formula is as follows:
xₙ₊₁ = aᵢxₙ + bᵢyₙ + eᵢ yₙ₊₁ = cᵢxₙ + dᵢyₙ + fᵢ
Mandelbrot Set Formula
The formula used to generate the Mandelbrot Set is based on complex number
iteration. Given a complex number c, the formula is defined as:
Zₙ₊₁ = Zₙ² + c
Julia Set Formula:
The Julia Set is also generated using complex number iteration, but with a
constant value c throughout the computation. The formula for the Julia Set is similar to
the Mandelbrot Set formula:
Zₙ₊₁ = Zₙ² + c
14
Ex 3. Fractals in Cartography
3.3 Explanation Of the data analysis techniques
Iterated Function Systems (IFS)
Here, (xₙ, yₙ) represents the coordinates of the point at iteration n, and (xₙ₊₁, yₙ₊₁)
represents the coordinates of the point at the next iteration. The coefficients aᵢ, bᵢ, cᵢ, dᵢ,
eᵢ, and fᵢ correspond to the parameters of the affine transformations, which determine
how the point is transformed.
The IFS formula can be extended to accommodate a set of affine transformations,
typically denoted as {fᵢ(x, y)}, where i ranges from 1 to N. In this case, the formula
becomes:
(xₙ₊₁, yₙ₊₁) = fᵢ(xₙ, yₙ)
The choice of coefficients and affine transformations determines the specific fractal
generated using the IFS framework. Each transformation represents a contraction or
expansion, rotation, translation, or any combination of these operations, which
collectively produce the self-similar patterns observed in fractals.
Mandelbrot Set Formula:
15
Here, Zₙ represents the complex number at iteration n, and Z₀ is usually set to 0.
The iteration continues until the magnitude of Zₙ exceeds a predetermined threshold,
indicating that it tends towards infinity. The color or shading assigned to each point in
the complex plane corresponds to the number of iterations taken to reach the threshold.
Julia Set Formula:
Here, Zₙ represents the complex number at iteration n, and the initial value of Z₀
varies across the complex plane. The color or shading assigned to each point
corresponds to the behavior of the iterations of Zₙ for that specific value of c.
Fractal Dimension Formula:
Here, N represents the number of boxes of size ε that intersect with the fractal
object or pattern. By varying the size of the boxes and observing how N changes, the
fractal dimension can be approximated. It's important to note that there are numerous
other formulas associated with different types of fractals, such as the formulas for
generating the Sierpinski Triangle, the Koch Snowflake, and the Cantor Set. These
formulas can vary depending on the specific fractal being studied.
3.4 Ethical considerations (if applicable).
Ethical considerations in fractals investigations are essential to ensure responsible
research practices and protect the interests of participants and stakeholders. While fractals
research may not always involve direct human subjects, there are still important ethical
considerations to take into account.
One aspect is the responsible use of data. Fractals investigations often involve
collecting and analyzing various data sources, such as images, measurements, or
simulations. Researchers must ensure that the data they use is obtained in an ethical
manner, respecting privacy, confidentiality, and consent. If the research involves human
16
subjects, appropriate consent procedures should be followed, and data should be
anonymized and stored securely to protect participants' identities.
Another ethical consideration is the responsible dissemination and communication of
research findings. Researchers should strive for transparency and accuracy in reporting
their results, avoiding misrepresentation or exaggeration of findings. They should also
consider the potential implications and applications of their research. Fractals
investigations may have implications in fields such as art, design, finance, or technology.
Researchers should be mindful of the potential impact of their findings and ensure that
they are communicated responsibly, considering the broader societal implications.
Results and Analysis
4.1 Presentation of findings, including data, visuals or other relevant
materials.
4.2 Interpretation and explanation of the results.
From the information we can interpret Fractals relevance in history and all sciences.
In the 20th century more so than in preceding ones, mathematics is influenced and often
dominated by the search for generality for its own sake. The results that this search
achieves (for example, the properties true of all curves) are typically of little use in
science. Science had exhausted the old curves of Euclid and was in dire need of new ones,
but it needed curves that are sufficiently special to have interesting properties subject to
comparison with natural phenomena. Mathematics of intermediate generality created
around 1900 involved a cache of curves and other shapes that the “mainstream” had
17
leapfrogged much too hastily, and fractal geometry is the new discipline that is being built
around this cache.

dynamics, computer science, and visual arts. The investigation has provided notable
examples of these applications, showcasing how fractals can be used to analyze and
optimize structures, simulate natural phenomena, generate realistic graphics, and enhance
artistic creations.
Fractals serve as a bridge between mathematics and the natural world. The
investigation has revealed the prevalence of fractal patterns in various natural phenomena,
such as soil cracking, geopolymer mortar, and the structure of materials. This
understanding can lead to improved analysis and prediction of natural processes, as well
as the development of innovative solutions in engineering and environmental sciences.
