I am looking for software and references
for computing the fractal dimension of sets.
The aim is to compute dimensions of
data sets obtained from experiments.
Please send any information that may be relevant to me by mail
and I will summarize for the NET if there is enough interest.

(relating directly to Parker and Chua's book "Practical Numerical Algorithms for Chaotic Systems", Springer Verlag, 1989). INSITE will calculate the correlation dimension and Lyapunov dimension. Algorithms exist (in the textbook) to also calculate the following dimension types: 1. Capacity (this is standard "box" method described elsewhere) 2. Information 3.

The best package for the PC for dynamical systems analysis that I know of is: Dynamical Systems Inc. PO Box 35241 Tucson AZ 85740 602-825-1331 The author is Dr. William Schaffer, who knows his stuff. The scope of the package is quite good. Discrete maps, two integrators with noise, bifurcation diagrams, phase space diagrams, Poincare sections, power analysis, fractal dimension calculation, data importation, good graphics. Requires a fortran compiler. The interface is from the dark ages, but with a promised upgrade. -- O-------------------------------------------------------------------------> | Cliff Joslyn, Cybernetician at Large, cjoslyn@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu | Systems Science, SUNY Binghamton, Box 1070, Binghamton NY 13901, USA V All the world is biscuit shaped. . .
