Authors

As an ultimate generalisation to several kinds of generalised entropy in the literature, a novel entropy measure, namely, Ismail’s entropy, or (IE), is presented. This article spotlights the significance of fractal dimension, through highlighting several possible applications of fractal dimension to structural engineering. In addition to several difficult open problems and the next step of inquiry, the paper ends with some concluding observations.

Author Biography

Dr. Ismail A Mageed, University of Bradford, United Kingdom.

Dr. Ismail A Mageed obtained his doctorate in Applied Probability at The University of Bradford, United Kingdom. Dr Mageed has been nominated by numerous high-profile academic institutions to the world prestigious ABEL PRIZE(NOBLE PRIZE OF MATHEMATICS) FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2025, based on his great services to humanity through revolutionary mathematical applications to advance several scientific disciplines, including Engineering, Computer Science and much more. His current research interests include the unification of queueing theory with information theory and information geometry. His leading research on the relativisation of queuing theory and discovering the geodesic  equation of motion for transient queues was greatly received by the world research community, based on spotlighting novel avenues for a UNIFIED THEOREM ON EVERYTHING. Mageed’s research on finding the analytic solutions of the longstanding simulative approach of The Pointwise Stationary Fluid Flow Approximation theory (PSFFA) was an exceptional discovery to advance PSFFA theory. Dr Mageed has published numerous papers in many highly reputable journals and IEEE conferences. He is also a reviewer  and a member of the editorial board to many international prominent journals. Mageed’s research has been internationally recognized as being revolutionary by providing several breakthroughs and solving many longstanding open problems. He is currently an active member at the NetPen Research Group, which is the strongest research group in queueing networks in the world. Dr Mageed has published a chapter in a book of the best eight queueing theorists in the world, entitled:

Queueing Theory 2: Advanced Trends

By the world-renowned Publishing Company, ISTE WILLEY, which was translated into French by the same Publishing Company. He has also published another chapter in a high-profile book, entitled:

Fractal Analysis - Applications and Updates

By the world leading open access publishing house, IntechOpen. He is currently coaching numerous volunteering  several research teams worldwide to deliver more insights on employing research to serve humanity. He is also a fellow of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS),the OR Society of the United Kingdom, a member of INTISCC (Austria), IEANG (world council of engineering) and a life member of the Islamic Society of Statistical Sciences. 

Highlights

  • In this exposition, the fractal dimension theory of Ismail’s entropy, namely IE, is revealed for the first time ever.
  • More potentially, this study has revealed how this discovery reveals the dominancy of IE, especially from a fractal dimension perspective.
  • On another applicative note, some applications of fractal dimension to structural engineering are addressed.
  • Having addressed these two potential applications, the frontiers are full of hopes to proceed with more and more , yet to explore, especially to enhance space industry and other unprecedented applications.
