Physicists and mathematicians are intensely studying fractal sets of fractal curves. Mandelbrot advocated modeling of real-life signals by fractal or multifractal functions. One example is fractional Brownian motion, where large-scale behaviour is related to a corresponding infrared divergence. Self-similarities and scaling laws play a key role in this new area.
