Multifractal Characterization of Pore Size Distributions of Peat Soil
Journal Title: Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 48, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper discusses a multifractal analysis of the microscopic structure of peat soil. The aim of this study was to apply the multifractal technique to analyze the properties of five slices of peat soil (L1-L5). Binary images (220 x 220 pixels, with a conversion value of 9.41 μm/pixel) were made from the thin slices and then analyzed. This analysis was conducted to obtain the relationship between physical parameters and complexity parameters. The results showed that the spectrum of f(α) can describe well the pore size distribution and average size of pores correlated with the value of D(0). A high value of the average pore size is followed by a low D value and vice versa.

On The Partition Dimension of Disconnected Graphs
For a graph G=(V,E), a partition Ω=\{O_1,O_2,…,O_k \} of the vertex set V is called a resolving partition if every pair of vertices u,v∈V(G) have distinct representations under Ω. The partition dimension of G is the mini...
