However, fractal features in terms of pore types and their respective contributions to permeability have been rarely addressed. On the basis of high-resolution imaging, fractal dimensions (Ds) have been determined from both pore size distributions and digital rock to quantify the heterogeneity in pore morphology and spatial textures. Overall, OM-hosted pores are smaller in size and more abundant in quantity, corresponding to a relatively high D, while IntraP pores are mainly isolated and scarce, translating into lower D values. Additionally, crack-like InterP pores with a moderate level of porosity and the D can play a pivotal role in shale seepage potential. A comparison of the estimated permeability among different pore types highlights that the contribution of interconnected OM pores to the overall permeability remains constrained unless they can link neighboring pore clusters, as commonly observed in organo-clay composites. Furthermore, the pore morphology and fractal features of shale rocks can exhibit noteworthy variations subjected to sedimentology, mineralogy, diagenesis and OM maturation.","PeriodicalId":12435,"journal":{"name":"Fractal and Fractional","volume":"39 16","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135773647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For solving the inverse problem, the regularized iterative conjugate gradient method is used. At each iteration of the method, we need to solve the auxilliary direct initial-boundary value problem. By using the finite difference scheme, this problem is reduced to solving a large system of a linear algebraic equation with a block-tridiagonal matrix at each time step. Solving the system takes almost the entire computation time. To solve this system, we construct and implement the direct parallel matrix sweep algorithm. We establish stability and correctness for this algorithm. The parallel implementations are developed for the multicore CPU using the OpenMP technology. The numerical experiments are performed to study the performance of parallel implementations.","PeriodicalId":12435,"journal":{"name":"Fractal and Fractional","volume":"11 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135973023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The demonstration of the existence and uniqueness of a solution is established under certain appropriate conditions with the use of Banach fixed point theorems. To date, no research effort has been undertaken to look into the solution of this integro equation, particularly due to its fractional order specification within the complex plane. The validation of the proposed methodology was performed by utilizing a novel strategy that involves implementing the Rationalized Haar wavelet numerical method with the application of the Bernoulli polynomial technique. The primary reason for choosing the proposed technique lies in its ability to transform the solution of the given nonlinear fractional integro-differential equation into a representation that corresponds to a linear system of algebraic equations. Furthermore, we conduct a comparative analysis between the outcomes obtained from the suggested method and those derived from the rationalized Haar wavelet method without employing any shared mathematical methodologies. In order to evaluate the precision and effectiveness of the proposed method, a series of numerical examples have been developed.","PeriodicalId":12435,"journal":{"name":"Fractal and Fractional","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135871346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To ensure the integrity of images, a novel color image-encryption algorithm based on extended DNA coding, Zig-Zag transform, and a fractional-order laser system is proposed in this paper. First, the dynamic characteristics of the fractional-order laser chaotic system (FLCS) were analyzed using a phase diagram and Lyapunov exponent spectra. The chaotic sequences generated by the system were used to design image-encryption algorithms. Second, a modified Zig-Zag confusing method was adopted to confuse the image. Finally, in the diffusion link, the DNA encoding scheme was extended to allow for a greater number of DNA encoding rules, increasing the randomness of the matrix and improving the security of the encryption scheme. The performance of the designed encryption algorithm is analyzed using key space, a histogram, information entropy, correlation coefficients, differential attack, and robustness analysis. The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm can withstand multiple decryption methods and has strong encryption capability. The proposed novel color image-encryption scheme enables secure communication of digital images.","PeriodicalId":12435,"journal":{"name":"Fractal and Fractional","volume":"67 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135872139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
