The Signature of Flare Activity in Multifractal Measurements of Active Regions Observed by SDO/HMI
Recent studies indicate that measurements of fractal and multifractal parameters of active regions (ARs) are inefficient tools for distinguishing ARs on the basis of the flare activity or to predict flare even...
