Abstract

We derive the formulas for neighborhood volume (Minkowski volume in d-dimensions) for fractals which have a curvature bias and are thus bounded. Both local surface fractal dimension and local mass fractal dimension are included as well as a radius of the neighborhood volume comparable with the size of the fractal. We consider two types of the neighborhood volumes: simplified and generalized, as well as the volumes below and above the fractal boundary. The formulas derived are generalizations of the equations for isotropic unbounded fractals. Based on the simplified-volume concept, we establish the procedure for calculating a distribution of physical quantities on bounded fractals and apply it to the distribution of trace elements in soil particles. Using the concept of the generalized volume, we show how an expectation value of a physical process can be calculated on bounded fractals, and apply it to the radon emanation from solid particles.
