Reviews

“The present book in which one shows that fractals are pervasive everywhere in the Ising model, percolation, damage phenomena, renormalization group and scaling. … The chapters are almost self-containing. It is a nice book quite suitable for a personal library.” (Guy Jumarie, zbMATH, Vol.1325.82001, 2015)
