Fractal Geometry and Dynamical Systems in Pure and Applied Mathematics II: Fractals in Applied Mathematics

The three conferences memorialized the passing of Mandelbrot, widely considered the founder of fractal geometry, and the 18 papers here are a selection from all of them. They discuss such topics as extreme risk and fractal regularity in finance, zeta functions for infinite graphs and functional equations, lattice effects in the scaling limit of the two-dimensional self-avoiding walk, fractal oscillations near the domain boundary of radially symmetric solutions of p-Laplace equations, and applications of the contraction mapping principle.
