CONT

Fractional Brownian trails... constitutes an example of a statistically self similar fractal curve with the dimension D=1/0. 900=1. 1111. Its coordinate functions are independent fractional Brownian functions of exponent H=0. 9000, which implies that self intersections, though not strictly prohibited, are greatly discouraged by forcing the curve to be very persistent.

vol brownien fractionnaire très persistant. Ce dessin constitue un exemple de courbe fractale, à homothétie statistique interne, dont la dimension est D=1/0,9=1,1 et pour laquelle la formation de boules sans être interdite - a été très fortement découragée, en imposant à cette courbe d'être très persistante.
