Overview
Fractal geometry is a new and promising field for researchers from different disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. It is used to model complicated natural and technical phenomena. The most convincing models contain an element of randomness so that the combination of fractal geometry and shastics arises in between these two fields. It contains contributions by outstanding mathematicians and is meant to highlight the principal directions of research in the area. The contributors were the main speakers attending the conference "Fractal Geometry and Shastics" held at Finsterbergen, Germany, in June 1994. This was the first international conference ever to be held on the topic. The book is addressed to mathematicians and other scientists who are interested in the mathematical theory concerning: • Fractal sets and measures • Iterated function systems • Random fractals • Fractals and dynamical systems, and • Harmonic analysis on fractals. The reader will be introduced to the most recent results in these subjects. Researchers and graduate students alike will benefit from the clear expositions.Editorials

Researchers from mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine are finding fractal geometry useful for modelling complicated natural and technical phenomena; stochastics enters into the picture in a canonical way because the most convincing models contain an element of randomness. In 11 papers selected from a conference in Finsterbergen, Germany, in June 1994, some of them offer perspectives on fractal sets and measures, iterated function system, random fractals, dynamical systems, and harmonic analysis on fractals.
