Revealing the Multifractal Nature of Failure Sequence

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to introduce a new application of the multifractals in the reliability engineering, risk analysis, historical chronology and others fields where we deal with series of events of various natures. The spectrum of such series is quite broad In particular, we do not know whether some temporal pattern is hidden in an apparently disordered set of events. The multifractal theory is a good basis for revealing such an order and describing the event sequence in time. It can provide a deeper understanding the nature of the event flow.
