The Heighway dragon curve is one of the most known fractal curves. There are two ways to construct the curve: repeatedly make a copy of the current curve, rotate it by 90 degrees, and connect them; or repeatedly replace each straight…

A theoretical approach to computing the Hausdorff dimension of the topological boundary of attractors of iterated function systems is developed. The curve known as the L\'evy Dragon is then studied in detail and the Hausdorff dimension of…

We show that the geometric aspect ratio of the Twin Dragon equals $1/\varphi$, where $\varphi = (1+\sqrt{5})/2$ is the golden ratio. The result follows by solving the covariance fixed-point equation for the self-similar measure, which…

It is known that every point on L\'evy's Dragon Curve admits a natural representation as a complex power series. We introduce a directed graph $\mathcal{G}_1$ which characterizes this representation. In this paper, we study the translation…

In this article we apply an L-system to prove a recurrence formula for the length of the boundary of iterands of the well known Harter-Heighway dragon curve, a space filling curve with fractal boundary. This leads to finding formulas for…

Let us fold a strip of paper many times in the same direction, and then unfold it to form a fixed angle $\theta$ at all creases. The resulting shape is called the Dragon curve with the unfolding angle $\theta$. When $0\le\theta<90^{\circ}$,…

We investigate the convexity property on $(0,1)$ of the function $$f_a(x)=\frac{{\cal K}{(\sqrt x)}}{a-(1/2)\log(1-x)}.$$ We show that $f_a$ is strictly convex on $(0,1)$ if and only if $a\geq a_c$ and $1/f_a$ is strictly convex on $(0,1)$…

We present a new method for computing the zeta function of an algebraic curve over a finite field. The algorithm relies on a trace formula of Harvey to count points on a plane model of the curve. The zeta function of the curve is then…

In this paper, we describe the line Dirac delta function of a curve in three-dimensional space in terms of the distance function to the curve. Its extension to level set formulation and plane curves are also developed. The main ideas can be…

Hecke-Kiselman algebras $A_{\Theta}$, over a field $k$, associated to finite oriented graphs $\Theta$ are considered. It has been known that every such algebra is an automaton algebra in the sense of Ufranovskii. In particular, its…

Let $\X$ be an irreducible, smooth, projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over the complex field $\C.$ Then there is a covering $\pi: \X \longrightarrow \P^1,$ where $\P^1$ denotes the projective line. The problem of expressing…

We prove that the Hessian transformation of elliptic curves, both as an action on $j$-invariants and on the Hesse pencil, is a Latt\`es map, namely it ascends to a degree-3 endomorphism $\psi$ of a prescribed elliptic curve $E$. This result…

We determine the Hausdorff and box dimension of the fractal graphs for a general class of Weierstrass-type functions of the form $f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n \, g(b_n x + \theta_n)$, where $g$ is a periodic Lipschitz real function and…

We introduce a new collection of special functions associated to a complex curve of genus 2 similar to Kleinian hyperelliptic $\sigma$-function. These functions are related to weight 2 $\theta$-functions in the same fashion as…

The deltoid curve in R 2 is the boundary of a domain on which there exist probability measures and orthogonal polynomials for theses measures which are eigenvec-tors of diffusion operators. As such, they may be considered as a two…

We prove a homogeneous, quantitative version of Ehrling's inequality for the function spaces $H^1(\Omega)\subset\subset L^2(\partial\Omega)$, $H^1(\Omega)\hookrightarrow L^2(\Omega)$ which reflects geometric properties of a given…

In the following, bypassing dynamical systems tools, we propose a simple means of computing the box dimension of the graph of the classical Weierstrass function defined, for any real number~$x$, by~$ {\cal W}(x)=\displaystyle…

This paper shows Hurwitz integrality of the coefficients of expansion at the origin of the sigma function \(\sigma(u)\) associated to a certain plane curve which should be called a plane telescopic curve. For the prime \(2\), the expansion…

In this article, a generalized Kleinian sigma function for an affine (3,4,5) space curve of genus 2 was constructed as the simplest example of the sigma function for an affine space curve, and in terms of the sigma function, the Jacobi…

In this paper, we discuss the Higuchi algorithm which serves as a widely used estimator for the box-counting dimension of the graph of a bounded function $f : [0,1] \to \R$. We formulate the method in a mathematically precise way and show…
