Abstract :
The amount of data regarding the fractal analysis of experimental discharge patterns is very scarce. Results on topological and on fractal analysis in 2-D patterns of real electrical breakdown tracks in atmospheric air are reported. It was evaluated the degree of randomness of the path upon calculating the fractal dimension and the influence of the polarity on the fractal dimension, using R/S analysis and Wavelets methods
