In this case the application of the method is more complex because of the vectorial nature of the model considered. In particular, one needs a careful choice of the lattice path integral for the fracture evolution and the identification of the appropriate way to take effectively into account screening effects. The good agreement of our results with computer simulations shows the validity and flexibility of the FST method in the study of fractal patterns evolution. date: 1995-12 date_type: published publication: Fractals volume: 3 number: 4 publisher: World Scientific Publishing pagerange: 829-837 id_number: 10.1142/S0218348X95000734 refereed: TRUE issn: 0218-348X official_url: http://www.worldscinet.com/fractals/03/0304/S0218348X95000734.html citation: Caldarelli, Guido and Vespignani, Alessandro Fixed scale transformation approach for born model of fractures.
