i) Non-uniform recursive fractals are multifractals in a geometrical sense. ii) Since geometrical multifractality as defined above is a consequence of local density fluctuations, it should be most pronounced in inhomogeneous growth processes. iii) A necessary condition for observing this phenomenon is the existence of three well separated length scales ... which may require the linear size L to be close to the largest cluster size ever produced in numerical simulations. 1, record 2, English, - geometrical%20multifractal
