Abstract
Rényi's entropies for diffusion-limited aggregates are studied as a function of the number N of particles contained in the aggregates. It is found that Rényi's values increase with log N in a linear fashion, and that the aggregates exhibit multifractal behaviour for finite values of N. When N → ∞, the aggregate has a monofractal structure. Rényi's entropies depend on the fractal dimension of the aggregate. When the fractal dimension increases, the values of Kq decrease for q ⩽ 1> and increase for q > 1.
