The solutions to uncertainty problem of urban fractal dimension calculation
Yanguang Chen
Fractal geometry provides a powerful tool for scale-free spatial analysis of cities, but the fractal dimension calculation results always depend on methods and scopes of study area…
Defining Urban Boundaries by Characteristic Scales
Yanguang Chen, Jiejing Wang, Yuqing Long +3
Defining an objective boundary for a city is a difficult problem, which remains to be solved by an effective method. Recent years, new methods for identifying urban boundary have b…
Fractal Texture and Structure of Central Place Systems
Yanguang Chen
The boundaries of central place models proved to be fractal lines, which compose fractal texture of central place networks. A textural fractal can be employed to explain the scale-…
Reinterpreting the Origin of Bifurcation and Chaos by Urbanization Dynamics
Yanguang Chen
Chaos associated with bifurcation makes a new science, but the origin and essence of chaos are not yet clear. Based on the well-known logistic map, chaos used to be regarded as int…
