Abstract

This is a preliminary report upon a piece of research being carried out by T. C. Halsey, Mogens Jensen, Leo Kadanoff, Itamar Procaccia and Boris Shraiman. It is an outgrowth of the thinking reflected in the work of Hentschel and Procaccia1 and of Halsey, Meakin and Procaccia.2 A fuller report on this work will appear later.
