We apply the Principle of Maximum Entropy to the study of a general class of deterministic fractal sets. The scaling laws peculiar to these objects are accounted for by means of a constraint concerning the average content of information in those patterns. This constraint allows for a new...

A new approach to the branching structure of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) clusters is proposed, in which the stress is laid not on the (traditionally used) order of the branches, but on their mass. The branch distribution n(s, M) (to be defined) of DLA is computed and its properties are...
