Modeles De Croissance Fractale : Epidemies, Evolutions En Biologie, Ecologie, Trafic, Economie
Abstract
Description
Several simple growth and decay models use concepts and measures from fractal geometry. Kinetic models relevant to condensed matter observations arerecalled. They should be specifically adapted with appropriate degrees of freedom in order to reproduce power law behaviors, e.g. of species extinctions, cloud fracture, financial crashes. This allows one to illustrate scientific problems relevant to the growth and control of epidemias, and other event or entity propagation in biology, ecology, traffic and economy.
