Multifractal

Multifractal refers to a mathematical concept that describes how different shapes can be made up of smaller and smaller shapes. Think of building a tower with blocks; the tower can be made up of different sized blocks, some larger and some smaller. Similarly, multifractal shapes can be created by combining different sized shapes together.

But it's not just about size; fractals have repeating patterns that keep repeating at different scales. So, when we zoom in or out of a fractal shape, we see similar patterns repeating over and over again. In multifractal analysis, we look at how different parts of the shape are made up of different patterns and how these patterns change as we zoom in or out.

For example, imagine a coastline. When we look at it from far away, it appears smooth, but as we move closer, we see that the shape is very complex, with lots of little curves and bumps. Multifractal analysis helps us understand these variations and how they relate to the overall shape.

In summary, multifractal is a way of understanding how different shapes are composed of different patterns at different scales, and how these patterns change as we zoom in or out.
