Abstract
In this paper, we conduct research on the fractal characteristics of the superposition of fractal surfaces from the view of fractal dimension. We give the upper bound of the lower and upper box dimensions of the graph of the sum of two bivariate continuous functions and calculate the exact values of them under some particular conditions. Further, it has been proven that the superposition of two continuous surfaces cannot keep the fractal dimensions invariable unless both of them are two-dimensional. A concrete example of a numerical experiment has been provided to verify our theoretical results. This study can be applied to the fractal analysis of metal fracture surfaces or computer image surfaces.
期刊介绍:
Fractal and Fractional is an international, scientific, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the study of fractals and fractional calculus, as well as their applications across various fields of science and engineering. It is published monthly online by MDPI and offers a cutting-edge platform for research papers, reviews, and short notes in this specialized area. The journal, identified by ISSN 2504-3110, encourages scientists to submit their experimental and theoretical findings in great detail, with no limits on the length of manuscripts to ensure reproducibility. A key objective is to facilitate the publication of detailed research, including experimental procedures and calculations. "Fractal and Fractional" also stands out for its unique offerings: it warmly welcomes manuscripts related to research proposals and innovative ideas, and allows for the deposition of electronic files containing detailed calculations and experimental protocols as supplementary material.
