Statistical Features of Drainage Basins in Mars Channel Networks
Guido Caldarelli, Paolo De Los Rios, Marco Montuori
Erosion by flowing water is one of the major forces shaping the surface of Earth. Studies in the last decade have shown, in particular, that the drainage region of rivers, where wa…
Scaling properties of discrete fractals
A. Amici, M. Montuori
An important problem in the analysis of experimental data showing fractal properties, is that such samples are composed by a set of points limited by an upper and a lower cut off.…
On the fractal structure of galaxy distribution and its implications for cosmology
Yurij V. Baryshev, Francesco Sylos Labini, Marco Montuori +2
Two fundamental empirical laws have been established in the analysis of galaxy space distribution. First, recent analyses have revealed that the three dimensional distribution of g…
Scale-invariant properties of the APM-Stromlo survey
F. Sylos Labini, M. Montuori
We investigate the statistical properties of the APM-Stromlo redshift survey by using the concepts and methods of modern Statistical Physics. We find that galaxy distribution in th…
Correlation properties of the large scale matter distribution and galaxy number counts
L. Pietronero, F. Sylos Labini, M. Montuori
We introduce the basic techniques used for the analysis of three dimensional and two dimensional galaxy samples. We report the correlation analysis of various redshift surveys whic…
Frequently asked questions about fractals
F. Sylos Labini, L. Pietronero, M. Montuori
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 inte…
