Table 5.

The correspondence relationships between entropies and fractal dimensions for the spatial analysis of cities.

Parameter Level Entropy Fractal Dimension
Global parameter General Renyi entropy spectrum Global multifractal dimension spectrum
Special Hartley entropy Capacity dimension
Shannon entropy Information dimension
The second-order Renyi entropy Correlation dimension
Connection Legendre Transform
Local parameter General Generalized Shannon entropy spectrum Local multifractal dimension spectrum
Mixed entropy Singularity exponent spectrum
Special Hartley entropy Capacity dimension
Shannon entropy Information dimension

Note: The Hartley entropy and Shannon entropy represent the intersection of the Renyi entropy and the generalized Shannon entropy; thus, the capacity dimension and information dimension form the intersection of the global multifractal dimensions and local multifractal dimensions.
