Abstract

We report an algorithm for the partition of a line segment according to a given ratio ν\nu. At each step the length distribution among sets of the partition follows a binomial distribution. We call kk-set to the set of elements with the same length at the step nn. The total number of elements is 2n2^n and the number of elements in a same kk-set is CnkC_n^k. In the limit of an infinite partion this object become a multifractal where each kk-set originate a fractal. We find the fractal spectrum DkD_k and calculate where is its maximum. Finally we find the values of DkD_k for the limits k/n0k/n \to 0 and 1.
