Minkowski-Bouligand dimension en · NOUN

Etymology

Named after the Polish mathematician Hermann Minkowski and the French mathematician Georges Bouligand.

Meanings

  1. A way of determining the fractal dimension of a set in a Euclidean space, or more generally in a metric space. It may be visualized by imagining the fractal lying on an evenly-spaced grid and counting how many boxes are required to cover the set. The dimension is then calculated by seeing how this number changes as the grid is made finer.
