box-counting dimension

Box-counting dimension is a mathematical concept used to measure the fractal dimension of an object or set. It involves dividing the object or set into smaller boxes or cells of equal size and counting the number of boxes needed to cover or contain the object or set. The box-counting dimension is then calculated as the logarithm of the total number of boxes divided by the logarithm of the size of each box. It provides a quantifiable measure of how effectively an object or set fills the space it occupies.
