Definition
- 1Un fractal es un objeto geométrico cuya estructura básica se repite en diferentes escalas. El término fue propuesto por Benoît Mandelbrot en 1975. En muchos casos los fractales pueden ser generados por un proceso recursivo o iterativo capaz de producir estructuras autosimilares independientemente de la escala específica. Los fractales son estructuras geométricas que combinan irregularidad y estructura.
