What does the concave multifractal spectrum shape physically mean?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interpretation of concave multifractal spectra in the context of analyzing metal surface damage using the box-counting method. While convex multifractal spectra are well-documented in literature, the concave multifractal spectrum presents a challenge in terms of physical interpretation. The user provides a graph illustrating this phenomenon, noting that certain surface images yield a concave spectrum, which lacks comprehensive analysis in existing research.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of multifractal analysis
  • Familiarity with the box-counting method
  • Knowledge of surface damage characterization techniques
  • Basic grasp of fractal geometry
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the physical implications of concave multifractal spectra
  • Explore advanced box-counting techniques for surface analysis
  • Investigate existing literature on convex versus concave multifractal spectra
  • Study the application of fractal geometry in material science
USEFUL FOR

Material scientists, researchers in surface engineering, and professionals analyzing fractal patterns in physical materials will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
I investigate the damage to the metal surface with box-counting method and some surface images give a convex multifractal spectrum f for a result - which is also widespread in the literature, but some other surface images form a concave multifractal spectrum. Not much information is available on this concave fractal spectrum - how could it be interpreted in physically?

I just add a picture of one graph - the Hook on the left is not counted in.
