Fractals and quasiperiodic structures share self-similarity as a structural property. Motivated by the link between Fibonacci fractals and quasicrystals which are scaled by the golden mean ratio $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$, we introduce and…
We formulate the helicaliser, which replaces a given smooth curve by another curve that winds around it. In our analysis, we relate this formulation to the geometrical properties of the self-similar circular fractal (the discrete version of…
A way to add an extra dimension is briefly discussed.
We perform fractal analysis on a closed classical hard-wall billiard, the circular billiard with a straight cut, assuming there are two openings on the boundary. We use a two-dimensional set of initial conditions that produce all possible…
We propose a new two-dimensional meshing algorithm called PINW able to generate meshes that accurately approximate the distance between any two domain points by paths composed only of cell edges. This technique is based on an extension of…
Repeatedly folding a strip of paper in half and unfolding it in straight angles produces a fractal: the dragon curve. Shallit, van der Poorten and others showed that the sequence of right and left turns relates to a continued fraction that…
For self-similar fractals, the Minkowski content and fractal curvature have been introduced as a suitable limit of the geometric characteristics of its parallel sets, i.e., of uniformly thin coatings of the fractal. For some self-conformal…
Fractals offer the ability to generate fascinating geometric shapes with all sorts of unique characteristics (for instance, fractal geometry provides a basis for modelling infinite detail found in nature). While fractals are non-euclidean…
We use the self-similar tilings constructed by the second author in "Canonical self-affine tilings by iterated function systems" to define a generating function for the geometry of a self-similar set in Euclidean space. This tubular zeta…
Several two-dimensional studies in spiral galaxies show that HII star formation regions have a fractal distribution, with a fractal dimension of approximately 2.3. In this work, the fractal dimension is calculated through the box-counting…
The main goal of this paper has a double purpose. On the one hand, we propose a new definition in order to compute the fractal dimension of a subset respect to any fractal structure, which completes the theory of classical box-counting…
Any two polygons of equal area can be partitioned into congruent sets of polygonal pieces, and in many cases one can connect the pieces by flexible hinges while still allowing the connected set to form both polygons. However it is open…
Fractals are ubiquitous natural emergences that have gained increased attention in engineering applications, thanks to recent technological advancements enabling the fabrication of structures spanning across many spatial scales. We show how…
We construct Jordan arcs of prescribed conformal dimension which are minimal for conformal dimension. These curves are used to design fractal rugs, similar to Rickman's rug, that are also minimal for conformal dimension. These fractal rugs…
Fractals are geometric shapes that can display complex and self-similar patterns found in nature (e.g., clouds and plants). Recent works in visual recognition have leveraged this property to create random fractal images for model…
The foundation of the theory presented here has already been proved to be effective for the case of curves belonging to the Koch family. The present paper extends the investigation to more complex curves, namely randomly generated curves…
Consider the scattering of a time-harmonic plane wave by a rigid obstacle embedded in a homogeneous and isotropic elastic medium in two dimensions. In this paper, a novel boundary integral formulation is proposed and its highly accurate…
A fractal is in essence a hierarchy with cascade structure, which can be described with a set of exponential functions. From these exponential functions, a set of power laws indicative of scaling can be derived. Hierarchy structure and…
