Frequently asked questions about fractals
arXiv:astro-ph/9701156
Abstract
In this lecture we will try to address the "frequently asked questions about fractals" in the field of large scale galaxy distribution. This paper takes its origin from a very interesting discussion we had at this meeting. A lot of points were raised, and we try to make clear the fundamental ones.
