Fractals: The beautiful complex patterns generated by simple iterative computations: Some examples
A hierarchy of selfsimilar structures: The large scale is a magnified version of the small scale.




Numerical computations such as addition,multiplication,etc.,have inherent round-off errors. Iterative computations magnify this round-off error because of feedback with amplification. The round-off error growth structures generate the beautiful fractal patterns.




The complex structures found in nature are all fractals,i.e.,posses selfsimilar geometry. Simple iterative growth processes may underlie the complex patterns found in nature

The most fundamental selfsimilar structure is the forking (bifurcating) structure (Jean, 1994 References) of tree branches, tree roots, river tributaries, branched lightning, etc. The hierarchy of complex branching structures occupy only a part (fraction) of 3-dimensional space or a fraction of 2-dimensional space in a 2-dimensional projection, and therefore they belong to the recently identified (Mandelbrot, 1977) category of fractal objects. The study of fractals now belongs to the new field nonlinear dynamics and chaos, a multidisciplinary area of intensive research in all fields of science in recent years.
Golden mean and selfsimilar, fractal geometrical structures in nature


Some selfsimilar designs used in Indian households as decorations at doorsteps and also on auspicious occasions




Numerical integration schemes incorporate iterative computations.Propagation of round-off error into the main stream computation results in deterministic chaos in computer realizations of nonlinear mathematical models used for simulation of real world dynamical systems.




Selfsimilar spatial structures imply long-range spatial correlations or non-local connections.




Global cloud cover pattern exhibits fractal geometry.The existence of long-range spatial correlations such as the El-Nino impact on global climate is now accepted.The global atmosphere acts as a unified whole, where,local perturbations produce a global response.




Long-range spatiotemporal correlations (non-local connections) in atmospheric flows
