Abstract:
This work presents an approach to evaluate the exact value of the fractal dimension of the cutting path d(f)(CP) on hierarchical structures with finite order of ramification. Our approach is based on a renormalization group treatment of the universality class of watersheds. By making use of the self-similar property, we show that d(f)(CP) depends only on the average cutting path (CP) of the first generation of the structure. For the simplest Wheastone hierarchical lattice (WHL), we present a mathematical proof. For a larger WHL structure, the exact value of d(f)(CP) is derived based on a computer algorithm that identifies the length of all possible CP's of the first generation.

Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
