A Wave-Spectrum Analysis of Urban Population Density: Entropy, Fractal, and Spatial Localization

The method of spectral analysis is employed to research the spatial dynamics of urban population distribution. First of all, the negative exponential model is derived in a new way by using an entropy-maximizing idea. Then an approximate scaling relation between wave number and spectral density is de...
