Applications of fractal geometry to biology

Alan Fielding

Department of Biological Sciences, Manchester Polytechnic Manchester MI 5GD, UK

The applications of concepts derived from fractal geometry to biological problems are described. Three major applications are identified: modelling of structures; investigation of theoretical problems; and the measurment of complexity. The review concentrates on methods and algorithms, including potential problems, which can be used with biological problems. These algorithms are drawn from a wide range of literature, including some non–biological sources.
