The Hausdorff dimension, also called the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension in one of the possible dimensions. 4, record 3, English, - Hausdorff%20dimension
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The Hausdorff dimension is defined for any subset of R [exponent] n that you can probably imagine. This includes all open sets, closed sets, countable unions of closed sets, countable intersections of open sets, etc. It will follow easily from the definition that Hausdorff dimension is not invariant under homeomorphisms. However, the topological dimension of E is the infimum of the Hausdorff dimensions of its homeomorphic images h(E). Later we will discover that Hausdorff dimension is invariant under something slightly stronger-quasi-isometries(sometimes called "bi-Lipschitz maps" or "Lipeomorphic maps"). Indeed, we will see that the equivalence class of quasi-isometric self-similar curves is completely determined by Hausdorff dimension! 5, record 3, English, - Hausdorff%20dimension

The model for computer simulation of inversion percolation shows the displacement of one fluid by another in porous media. The process is defined on a lattice. 1) A random number drawn from the uniform distribution on the unit interval is assigned to each site of a cell of linear size L. 2) The process starts with a seed particle or a surface and goes on by subsequent occupation of one of the perimeter sites (empty sites which are nearest neighbours of the cluster). 3) However, the perimeter site to be occupied is not selected randomly, but the one with the smallest random number or (corresponding to the smallest capillary force) is occupied. The process does not stop until the finite cell is filled in completely. 4, record 4, English, - cell
