S'applique aux changements spatio-temporels tels le bruit électronique dans les semi-conducteurs, les fluctuations de voltage dans les membranes neurales, les crues périodiques des eaux, les variations des indices économiques et du trafic routier, les battements du cœur, etc. Selon B. Mandelbrot, créateur du terme en 1975, le concept n'a pas encore de définition mathématique généralement acceptée. Le terme est dérivé du latin «fractus» qui signifie «fragmenté», «irrégulier». Le masculin pluriel est «fractals», le féminin pluriel, fractales».  3, record 1, French, - fractale

A method for solving the Laplace equation without using an underlying lattice. Applied in simulation techniques involving aggregation of particles and fractal pattern formation. The interfacial pattern is approximated as a piecewise linear with uniform monopole sources. A given interface uniquely determines the source distribution which, in turn, uniquely determines the velocity distribution along the interface. Based on Green’s function, an integro-differential equation, and on the Dirac delta function.  1, record 2, English, - boundary%20integral%20method

Investigations based on the boundary integral method demonstrate that noise is not a necessary ingredient of an algorithm producing DLA-type patterns since they can be grown using deterministic equations. This result is supported by multifractal analysis. The fractal dimension of off-lattice DLA clusters in the asymptotic limit may be approximately equal to 1. 65.  1, record 2, English, - boundary%20integral%20method

Asymptotic shape of DLA clusters ... the present consensus is that the asymptotic diffusion-limited aggregates are not likely to have more than five main arms in two dimensions.  1, record 3, English, - asymptotic%20shape

The simulations suggest than in the presence of noise... the asymptotic shape of Laplacian patterns growing out from a centre has a fractal structure presumably analogous to that of DLA.  1, record 3, English, - asymptotic%20shape
