Hmmm ... there should be a page on this, but the initial one consisted of nothing but (interesting-looking) references. Charles Matthews 18:10, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
- I've added in a definition, but am not so familiar with the fractals side of things and so it still needs more work. Also one may need to set up a whole bunch of redirects... Terry 17:59, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Ack. I've discovered that there is a lot of overlap between what I just wrote here and the article on box-counting dimension. Now we need to merge... sigh Terry 18:05, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
merged from Talk:Box-counting dimension:
Box-counting dimension is not identical with Hausdorff dimension; this redirect is inappropriate, therefore.Charles Matthews 18:01, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- It is, however, identical with Minkowski-Bouligand dimension, which also goes under a variety of other names... we should probably merge these two articles now. Terry 18:09, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I would like to add that the packing dimension is different from the Minkowski dimension, I refer you to chapter 3.4 of Falconers "Fractal Geometry; Mathematical Foundations and Applications". I will edit this tommorow if I have the time. Andy
[edit] Category: Entropy?
Removing from category:Entropy. Unlike fractal dimension, this article doesn't even mention Renyi entropy. -- Jheald 15:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
