The multifractal spectrum of various three-dimensional representations of Packed Swiss Cheese cosmologies in open, closed, and flat spaces are measured, and it is determined that the curvature of the space does not alter the associated fractal structure. These results are compared to observational data and simulated models of large scale galaxy clustering, to assess the viability of the PSC as a candidate for such structure formation. It is found that the PSC dimension spectra do not match… Expand

Spectral action models of gravity on packed swiss cheese cosmology
• Physics, Mathematics

We present a model of (modified) gravity on spacetimes with fractal structure based on packing of spheres, which are (Euclidean) variants of the packed swiss cheese cosmology models. As the actionExpand

The Abstract Expressionists and Les Automatistes: A shared multi-fractal depth?
• Art, Computer Science
• Signal Process.
• 2013
A multifractal analysis of 'poured' paintings from the Abstract Expressionism and Les Automatistes movements shows that, although the D"0 and D"~ values vary between individual paintings, the collection of paintings exhibit a similar depth, suggesting a shared visual characteristic for this genre.

Variations on Birkhoff’s theorem

The relation between the expanding universe and local vacuum solutions, such as that for the Solar System, is crucially mediated by Birkhoff’s theorem. Here we consider how that relation works, andExpand
Texture analysis using lacunarity and average local variance
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• Medical Imaging

This work compared four multi-scale texture metrics accessible in the spatial domain (lacunarity, average local variance (ALV), and two novel variations) in terms of ease of interpretation, sensitivity and computational cost, and analyzed a variety of patterns and textures. Expand
