Convex Hulls of Dragon Curves

Metric Geometry 2026-01-01 v2

Abstract

The fundamental geometry of self-similar sets becomes significantly more complex when the generating contractive maps include non-trivial rotational components. A well-known family exemplifying this complexity is that of the dragon curves in the plane. In this paper, we prove that every dragon curve has a polygonal convex hull. Moreover, we completely characterize their convex hulls.
