In this paper we define a new class of weighted complex networks sharing several properties with fractal sets, and whose topology can be completely analytically characterized in terms of the involved parameters and of the fractal dimension. General networks with fractal or hierarchical...

Waiting time indicators are defined by measuring the time needed for a point x to approach a given point y. Our aim is to test the use of waiting time indicators, and quantitative recurrence ones to numerically estimate the local dimension of attractors in dynamical systems, as suggested by some...
