Graduate What does the concave multifractal spectrum shape physically mean?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the interpretation of concave multifractal spectra observed in metal surface damage analysis using the box-counting method. While convex multifractal spectra are well-documented, the physical significance of concave spectra remains unclear. Participants seek insights into how these concave shapes can be understood in a physical context. A graph is shared to illustrate the findings, specifically noting that certain features, like the Hook, are excluded from the analysis. Understanding the implications of concave multifractal spectra could enhance the analysis of surface damage in materials science.

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.

I'm not a student or graduate in Astrophysics.. Wish i were though... I was playing with distances between planets... I found that Mars, Ceres, Jupiter and Saturn have somthing in common... They are in a kind of ratio with another.. They all got a difference about 1,84 to 1,88x the distance from the previous planet, sub-planet. On average 1,845x. I thought this can be coincidential. So i took the big moons of Jupiter and Saturn to do the same thing jupiter; Io, Europa and Ganymede have a...
