The Fractal Tapestry of Life: III Multifractals Entail the Fractional Calculus (open access)

The Fractal Tapestry of Life: III Multifractals Entail the Fractional Calculus

This article is the third essay advocating the use the (non-integer) fractional calculus (FC) to capture the dynamics of complex networks in the twilight of the Newtonian era. Herein, the focus is on drawing a distinction between networks described by monfractal time series extensively discussed in the prequels and how they differ in function from multifractal time series, using physiological phenomena as exemplars.
