Abstract
Fractals play an important role in nonlinear science. The most important parameter when modeling a fractal is the fractal dimension. Existing information dimension can calculate the dimension of probability distribution. However, calculating the fractal dimension given a mass function, which is the generalization of probability, is still an open problem of immense interest. The main contribution of this work is to propose an information fractal dimension of mass function. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of our proposed dimension. We discover an important property in that the dimension of mass function with the maximum Deng entropy is ln 3 ln 2 ≈ 1.585, which is the well-known fractal dimension of Sierpiski triangle. The application in complexity analysis of time series illustrates the effectiveness of our method.
