The Koch snowflake is one of the first fractals that were mathematically described. It is interesting because it has an infinite perimeter in the limit but its limit area is finite. In this paper, a recently proposed computational…
We introduce a construction of the Koch snowflake that is not inherently six-way symmetrical, based on iteratively placing similar rhombi. This construction naturally splits the snowflake into four identical self-similar curves, in contrast…
Following \cite{Visintin}, we exploit the fractional perimeter of a set to give a definition of fractal dimension for its measure theoretic boundary. We calculate the fractal dimension of sets which can be defined in a recursive way and we…
The Koch snowflake is a classical example of a planar curve with infinite perimeter enclosing a finite, positive area. Although such examples are well known individually, classical treatments typically analyze each construction in isolation…
M.C. Eschers tessellations have captured the imaginations of both artists and mathematicians. Circle Limit III is the most intricate of his tessellations, featuring patterns that repeat at increasingly fine scales. Although his patterns…
In this work, we provide a treatment of scaling functional equations in a general setting involving fractals arising from sufficiently nice self-similar systems in order to analyze the tube functions, tube zeta functions, and complex…
The small-angle scattering (SAS) from the Cantor surface fractal on the plane and Koch snowflake is considered. We develop the construction algorithm for the Koch snowflake, which makes possible the recurrence relation for the scattering…
An infinitely large Koch fractal is shown to be capable of sustaining only extended, Bloch-like eigenstates, if certain parameters of the Hamiltonian describing the lattice are numerically correlated in a special way, and a magnetic flux of…
We consider the construction of a family $\{K_N\}$ of $3$-dimensional Koch-type surfaces, with a corresponding family of $3$-dimensional Koch-type ``snowflake analogues" $\{\mathcal{C}_N\}$, where $N>1$ are integers with $N \not\equiv 0…
Beginning with addition and multiplication which are intrinsic to a Koch-type curve, I formulate and solve a wave equation that describes wave propagation along a fractal coastline. As opposed to the examples known from the literature I do…
In a famous paper published in 1904, Helge von Koch introduced the curve that still serves nowadays as an iconic representation of fractal shapes. In fact, von Koch's main goal was the construction of a continuous but nowhere differentiable…
The self-similarity properties of fractals are studied in the framework of the theory of entire analytical functions and the $q$-deformed algebra of coherent states. Self-similar structures are related to dissipation and to noncommutative…
Using the moving frame and invariants, any discrete curve in $\R^3$ could be uniquely identified by its centroaffine curvatures and torsions. In this paper, depending on the affine curvatures of the fractal curves, such as Koch curve and…
Let $(t_n)_{n\ge0}$ be the well konwn $\pm1$ Thue-Morse sequence $$+1,-1,-1,+1,-1,+1,+1,-1,\cdots.$$ Since the 1982-1983 work of Coquet and Dekking, it is known that $\sum_{k<n}t_ke^\frac{2k\pi i}{3}$ is strongly related to the famous Koch…
A standard scientific study comprises two processes: one is to describe a thing, and the other is to understand how the thing works. In order to understand the principle of urban growth, a number of shape indexes are proposed to describe…
We introduce a new concept of dimension for metric spaces, the so-called topological Hausdorff dimension. It is defined by a very natural combination of the definitions of the topological dimension and the Hausdorff dimension. The value of…
In this paper, we apply F-calculus on fractal Koch and Ces\`aro curves with different dimensions. Generalized Newton's second law on the fractal Koch and Ces\`aro curves is suggested. Density of moving particles which absorbed on fractal…
We introduce fractional flat space, described by a continuous geometry with constant non-integer Hausdorff and spectral dimensions. This is the analogue of Euclidean space, but with anomalous scaling and diffusion properties. The basic tool…
In this article, we provide a simple and systematic way to represent general (inhomogeneous) fractals that may look different at different scales and places. By using set-valued compression maps, we express these general fractals as…
We generalize, for integral curves, a celebrated result of Max Noether on global sections of the n-dualizing sheaf of a smooth nonhyperelliptic curve. This is our main result. We also obtain an embedding of a non-Gorenstein curve in a way…
