Scientific paper

Fractal dimensions in the large scale distribution of galaxies have been calculated with the method given by Wen et al. Samples are taken from CfA redshift survey in northern and southern galactic hemisphere. Results from these two regions are compared with each other. There are significant differences between the distributions in these two regions. However, these analyses do show some common features of the distributions in these two regions. All subsamples show multilevel fractal character distinctly. Combining it with the results from analyses of samples given by IRAS galaxies and results from samples given by redshift survey in pencil-beam fields, it is suggested that multilevel fractal structure is most likely to be a general and important character in the large scale distribution of galaxies. The possible implications of this character are discussed.
