Abstract

The multifractal description of rough surfaces is discussed and the mechanisms for analysis of fractal and multifractal height distributions of inhomogeneities for rough surfaces are simulated. The original technique for estimating the spectrum of singularities is proposed for studying these distributions. Further, the application of the wavelet analysis for quantitative characterization of fractal distributions associated with rough surfaces and for determination of the position of singularities of these structures is presented.
