Structures are often characterized by parameters, such as mass and stiffness, that are spatially distributed. Parameter identification of distributed structures is subject to many of the difficulties involved in the modelling problem, and the choice of the model can greatly affect the results of the

โฆ Synopsis
Fractal interpolation functions provide a new means for fitting experimental data and their graphs can be used to approximate natural scenes. We first determine the conditions that a vertical scaling factor must obey to model effectively an arbitrary function. We then introduce polar fractal interpolation functions as one fractal interpolation method of a non-affine character. Thus, this method may be suitable for a wider range of applications than that of the affine case. The interpolation takes place in polar coordinates and then with an inverse non-affine transformation a simple closed curve arises as an attractor which interpolates the data in the usual plane coordinates. Finally, we prove that this attractor has the same Hausdorff dimension as the polar one.

This paper compares the application of the two algorithms, the classical gradient and the Gauss-Newton, for parameter optimization, and it investigates the influence of the form of sensitivity functions on the convergency of these algorithms. It is shown that the cases where the classical gradient a
The geometrical parameters for benzene, fluorobenzene, and cyanobenzene have been calculated using the 6-31G\*(5D) and 6-31G\*\* basis sets, and, in addition, the 6-31 + G\*(5D) basis set in the case of fluorobenzene. Compared to previous results obtained using the 6-31G basis set there are minor ch
