Multivariable-based correlation dimension analysis for generalized space (2212.01813v3)

Published 4 Dec 2022 in physics.soc-ph

Abstract: Fractal geometry proved to be an effective mathematical tool for exploring real geographical space based on digital maps and remote sensing images. Whether the fractal theory tool can be applied to abstract geographical space has not been reported. An abstract space can be defined by multivariable distance metrics, which is frequently met in scientific research. Based on the ideas from fractals, this paper is devoted to developing correlation dimension analysis method for generalized geographical space by means of mathematical derivation and empirical analysis. Defining a mathematical distance or statistical distance, we can construct a generalized correlation function. If the relationship between correlation function and correlation lengths follows a power law, the power exponent can be demonstrated to associate with correlation dimension. Thus fractal dimension can be employed to analyze the structure and nature of generalized geographical space. This suggests that fractal geometry can be generalized to explore scale-free abstract geographical space. The theoretical model was proved mathematically, and the analytical method was illustrated by using observational data. This research is helpful to expand the application of fractal theory in geographical analysis, and the results and conclusions can be extended to other scientific fields.
