ESTIMATORS FOR LONG-RANGE DEPENDENCE: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

Murad S. Taqqu, Vadim Teverovsky, Walter Willinger · 1 Dec 1995

Various methods for estimating the self-similarity parameter and/or the intensity of long-range dependence in a time series are available. Some are more reliable than others. To discover the ones that work best, we apply the different methods to simulated sequences of fractional Gaussian noise and fractional ARIMA (0, d, 0). We also provide here a…

SOME FRACTAL CHARACTERS OF POROUS MEDIA

Boming Yu, Jianhua Li · 1 Sep 2001

In this paper, a unified model for describing the fractal characters of porous media is deduced. The theoretical predictions from the proposed unified model are compared with those from the previous models and from the box-counting method. The results from the proposed model are found to be in good agreement with both the previous models…

1/f NOISE IN A TRAFFIC MODEL

Misako Takayasu, Hideki Takayasu · 1 Dec 1993

One-dimensional traffic flow is simulated by a cellular-automaton-type discrete model. As we increase the car density, the model shows a phase transition between a jam phase and a non-jam phase. By adding random perturbations we found a 1/f power spectrum in the jam phase, whereas a white noise is observed in the non-jam phase.

A FRACTAL MODEL FOR CAPILLARY FLOW THROUGH A SINGLE TORTUOUS CAPILLARY WITH ROUGHENED SURFACES IN FIBROUS POROUS MEDIA

Boqi Xiao, Qiwen Huang, Hanxin Chen et al. · 1 Sep 2020

In this paper, a fractal model for capillary flow through a single tortuous capillary with roughened surfaces in fibrous porous media is derived. The determined imbibition height and imbibition mass of capillary rise are in satisfying agreement with the existing models reported in the literature. It is found that the imbibition height and imbibition mass…

Multifractal Cascade Dynamics and Turbulent Intermittency

Daniel Schertzer, S. Lovejoy, François G. Schmitt et al. · 1 Sep 1997

Turbulent intermittency plays a fundamental role in fields ranging from combustion physics and chemical engineering to meteorology. There is a rather general agreement that multifractals are being very successful at quantifying this intermittency. However, we argue that cascade processes are the appropriate and necessary physical models to achieve dynamical modeling of turbulent intermittency. We first…

Fractals template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Fractals format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Fractals template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official World Scientific format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Fractals use?
Fractals uses Superscript numbered (World Scientific) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Fractals 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Fractals?
No. DocuGuru generates the ws-ijmpa LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a World Scientific-ready Fractals document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Fractals template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Fractals format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Fractals?
Fractals is a physics journal published by World Scientific. DocuGuru's Fractals template matches World Scientific's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Fractals PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Fractals template (the ws-ijmpa class) that is ready to submit to World Scientific, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Fractals template cost?
You can start writing in the Fractals template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Fractals PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
