Correlation Fractal and Multifractal Characteristics of Seismic Activity in the Taiwan Area, China

Based on the analysis of newly collected data of plate tectonics, distribution of active faults and crustal deformation, the Taiwan area is divided into two seismic regions and six seismic belts. Then, correlation fractal dimensions of all the regions and belts are calculated, and the fractal characteristics of hypocenteral distribution can be quantitatively analyzed. Finally, multifractal dimensions Dq and f(α) are calculated by using the earthquake catalog of the past 11 years in the Taiwan area. This study indicates that (1) there exists a favorable corresponding relationship between spatial images of seismic activity described with correlation fractal dimension analysis and tectonic settings; (2) the temporal structure of earthquakes is not single but multifractal fractal, and the pattern of Dq variation with time is a good indicator for predicting strong earthquake events.     

矿物微观结构的多重分形

分形与多重分形已广泛地应用于不同领域, 不同尺度下的各种分布特征研究更是受到广泛关注.以云南个旧松树脚矿田中2件含矿矽卡岩样品中黄铁矿颗粒为研究对象, 通过分形与多重分形方法研究了黄铁矿颗粒在二维空间上的分布特征.结果显示, 黄铁矿在微观尺度空间上的分布不均一, 具有明显的分形与多重分形分布特征.所选研究区外接触带黑绿色含硫化物矿石矽卡岩和接触带矽卡岩型块状硫化物矿石显微照片分析结果显示, 前者黄铁矿颗粒分布的盒子维数D₀、信息维数D₁、关联维数D₂及广义多重分形维数D_q的变化范围均较小, 而后者较大; 前者外接触带黑绿色含硫化物矿石矽卡岩含矿性相对较弱, 而后者矿石矿物相对富集.从这个意义上说, 分形与多重分形维数与样品含矿性有一定的对应关系, 因此, 分形与多重分形分析有望进一步为岩石含矿性的定量化评价提供微观尺度上的证据.      

Multifractal Distribution of Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors from 2D Multiplicative Cascade Multifractal Fields

Two-dimensional fields (maps) generated by isotropic and anisotropic multiplicative cascade multifractal processes are common in many fields including oceans, atmosphere, the climate and solid earth geophysics. Modeling the anisotropic scaling property and heterogeneity of these types of fields are essential for understanding the underlying processes. The paper explicitly derives the eigenvalues and eigenvectors from these types of fields and proves that the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are described by non-conservative multifractal distributions. This results in a new multifractal model implemented in eigen domain to characterize 2D fields not only with respect to overall heterogeneity and singularity as characterized by the ordinary multifractal model applied to the field itself, but also with respect to orientational heterogeneity of the field. It may also result in a new way to characterize the distribution of extreme large eigenvalues involved in other studies such as principal component analysis. A newly defined operator and its properties as derived in this paper may be useful for studying other types of multifractal cascade processes.     

Fractal and Multifractal Properties of Geochemical Fields

A fractal model, introduced by De Wijs to study the distribution, redistribution, or enrichment/depletion of element concentrations in a region, has become widely accepted. This paper uses it to simulate various geochemical fields for element concentration values. The frequency distribution and spatial pattern of the simulated values or concentrations are analyzed by the method of moments and the concentration–area (C–A) model. The spatial pattern of the original De Wijs model is shown to be intrinsically characterized by -shaped and symmetrical multifractal spectrum curves, whose center and width change systematically with the enrichment factors set in the simulation. The corresponding frequency distribution pattern on the log–log plot of frequency versus concentrations is called simple continuous multifractal (SCM) by the authors. In other experiments, when a De Wijs model is locally superimposed by another De Wijs model of different enrichment factors, the symmetry of the multifractal spectrum graph is broken and a different pattern of frequency distribution is found. It is referred to as highly accumulated continuous multifractals (HACM). Concentrations of 12 elements in 1448 rock samples from Shaoguan district, North Guangdong Province, South China, and 12 oil/gas indexes in surface soils from Sangtamu region, Tarim Basin, Northwest China, have been applied. The real geochemical fields, both metallic and oil/gas, are found to be remarkably compatible to those simulated patterns of De Wijs models with backgrounds of various enrichment and different degrees of superimposition, indicating that the frequency and spatial distribution patterns revealed by the authors are most possibly universal features of geochemical fields. It is particularly interesting to note that the major geochemical indicators of oil/gas geochemical fields are closer to the results of De Wijs models with a small enrichment factor, either with or without local superimposition, whereas those of the metallic geochemical field correspond more closely to De Wijs models with a background field of larger enrichment factors. The results obtained herein potentially have important implications in mineral and oil/gas resource assessment.

Fractal and Multifractal Propertiesof the Spatial Distribution of Natural Fractures——Analyses and Applications

The Cantor's dust theory is applied to investigate the scaling properties of the spatial distribution of natural fractures obtained from detailed scanline surveys of 27 field sites in the Appalachian Plateau of western New York, USA. The results obtained in this study indicate: 1) fracture spacing is characterized by fractal and multifractal properties. On small scales analyses yield an average fractal dimension of 0.15, which suggests a very high degree of clustering. In contrast, on large scales, fractures tend to be more regular and evenly distributed with an average fracture dimension of 0.52; 2) fractal dimension varies with different sets in different orientations, which can be attributed to interactions between pre-existing fractures and younger ones, as well as variations of the intensity of the stresses under which the fractures were formed; 3) a time sequence of fracture set formation can be proposed based on fractal and multifractal analyses, which consists of (from old to young): N-S, NW, EN

区域滑坡空间分布的变维分形特征研究

定量研究滑坡的空间分布特征对研究滑坡灾害的孕育发展具有重要意义。以陕西省宁强县滑坡为例,采用变维分形方法,探讨滑坡在空间分布上的变维分形特征。结果表明：区域滑坡与不同影响因子,即高程、起伏度、坡度、距河流距离、距断裂带距离和地层岩性之间全部呈一阶累积和变维分形分布特征,且分形维数分别是0.511 1、1.135 7、1.290 6、0.903 8、1.189 5、0.979 9。由此可见滑坡对于不同影响因子的敏感度由高到低分别是坡度＞距断裂带距离＞起伏度＞地层岩性＞距河流距离＞高程。上述研究表明用变维分形理论来研究滑坡的空间分布特征是完全可行的,它能够定量地反映滑坡的空间分布与各影响因素之间的敏感性关系,特别是对于GIS空间叠加分析时权重的确定有着重要的意义。

Spatial analysis of elements in soils from Chengdu City

Three kinds of spatial analysis methods （geostatistics, concentration-area fractal model and the multifractal analysis called the moment method） were used for almost 50 elements, including heavy metals, disperse elements, rare elements and even others, in 6586 top soil （0-20 cm） samples and 1833 deep soil （150-200 cm） samples from Chengdu metropolitan area of 12400 km^2, southwestern China. The ranges of spatial correlation revealed by variograms are quite different for different kinds of elements in the top and deep soils. The most interest is the fact that the multifractal spectra of environmentally important elements such as Pb, Cr, Cd and Ni in top soils in the metropolitan area show systematic change from those in the deep soils, revealing a strong anthropogenic addition, while Hg, Zn, As, Cu and all common elements show no such kind of addition. In terms of multifractal properties based on the multifractal spectrum curves, those disperse and rare elements show great deviation from other major and trace elements, which is also of great interest.     

Quantification of Natural Fracture Surfaces Using Fractal Geometry

The purpose of this paper is to present an extensive evaluation of the methods to calculate the fractal dimension of natural fracture surfaces. Three methods; variogram analysis (VA), power spectral density (PSD), and roughness-length method (RMS) are applied to 2-D surface data (PSD) and 1-D profiles (VA and RMS) extracted from the surface data of 54 mm diameter crystallized limestone samples. Surface topography of the samples is quantified through a newly designed fully automated device. Before the application, self-affinity of the surface roughness and the applicability of these methods are validated using synthetically generated fractal surfaces. Fractal dimension values of the profiles are obtained as between 1 and 1.5 with a few exceptions. VA and RMS methods yield consistent fractal dimensions while the PSD values are lower than those of the other two methods. In terms of practical applicability, the VA is found more convenient than other two methods because there still exists shortcomings with the PSD and RMS methods due to difficulties in the mathematical analysis of the plots whose slopes are used in the computation of fractal dimension. However, it is observed that the data of limited size fracture surfaces are convenient for fractal analysis and the results are promising for further applications if the fracture surface size is restricted like cores recovered from deep boreholes.

Scanline Method to Determine the Fractal Nature of 2-D Fracture Networks

A previous method proposed to measure the fractal dimension of pore spaces is adapted and modified for 2-D fracture networks. The method relies on scanning a 2-D fracture network through successive straight lines from top to bottom and measuring the distance between two fractures. The fractal dimension is then obtained using the log–log plot of the feature size and the number of features for this particular size at different magnifications. It is shown in this study that the method proposed to measure the fractal dimension of porous structures can be applicable to 2-D fracture networks with some modifications after testing it on synthetic and natural fracture patterns. The method is simplified to be useful for practical applications in the fractal analysis of fracture networks. The results reveal that, on the basis of the direction of scanning lines, different fractal behavior and dimensions can be obtained indicating that 2-D fracture networks possess multifractal character. This approach takes into account the effect of fracture orientation on the fractal behavior and anisotropic nature of fracture networks as well as the fracture density, length, and spatial distribution.

Multifractal modeling and spatial statistics

In general, the multifractal model provides more information about measurements on spatial objects than a fractal model. It also results in mathematical equations for the covariance function and semivariogram in spatial statistics which are determined primarily by the second-order mass exponent. However, these equations can be approximated by power-law relations which are comparable directly to equations based on fractal modeling. The multifractal approach is used to describe the underlying spatial structure of De Wijs 's example of zinc values from a sphalerite-bearing quartz vein near Pulacayo, Bolivia. It is shown that these data are multifractal instead of fractal, and that the second-order mass exponent (=0.979±0.011 for the example) can be used in spatial statistical analysis.
