On the fractality of the biological tree-like structures
The fractal tree-like structures can be divided into three classes, according to the value of the similarity dimension Ds:Ds<D,Ds=D and Ds>D, where D is the topological dimension of the embedding space. It is argued that most of the physiological tree-like structures have Ds≥D. The notion of t...
