相关论文: The aspect ratio of the Twin Dragon is $1/\phi$
Much has been written about the golden ratio $\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ and this strange number appears mysteriously in many mathematical calculations. In this article, we review the appearance of this number in the graph theory. More…
The Knuth Twin Dragon is a compact subset of the plane with fractal boundary of Hausdorff dimension $s = (\log \lambda)/(\log \sqrt{2})$, $\lambda^3 = \lambda^2 + 2$. Although the intersection with a generic line has Hausdorff dimension…
In this work, we study properties of the coordinate functions $x_\theta$ and $y_\theta$ of the dragon curve associated with the angle $\frac{\pi}{3} < \theta < \frac{5\pi}{3}$, and we prove that the box-counting dimension of its graph is…
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…
An almost Golden Riemannian structure $(\varphi ,g)$ on a manifold is given by a tensor field $\varphi $ of type (1,1) satisfying the Golden section relation $\varphi ^{2}=\varphi +1$, and a pure Riemannian metric $g$, i.e., a metric…
Consider an orthogonal polyhedron, i.e., a polyhedron where (at least after a suitable rotation) all faces are perpendicular to a coordinate axis, and hence all edges are parallel to a coordinate axis. Clearly, any facial angle and any…
The problem of the universal form of the size spectrum is analyzed. The half-widths of two wings of spectrum is introduced and it is shown that their ratio is very close to the golden fraction. In appendix it is shown that behind the golden…
A spherical Wulff shape is the spherical counterpart of a Wulff shape which is the well-known geometric model of a crystal at equilibrium introduced by G. Wulff in 1901. As same as a Wulff shape, each spherical Wulff shape has its unique…
We derive interesting arctangent identities involving the golden ratio, Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers. Binary BBP-type formulas for the arctangents of certain odd powers of the golden ratio are also derived, for the first time in the…
Inspired by the ancient spiral constructed by the greek philosopher Theodorus which is based on concatenated right triangles, we have created a spiral. In this spiral, called \emph{Fibonacci--Theodorus}, the sides of the triangles have…
The golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers are found to occur in various aspects of nature. We discuss the occurrence of this ratio in an interesting physical problem concerning center of masses in two dimensions. The result is shown to be…
As noticed in 2006 by the author of the present article, the hypothetical crystal---described by crystallographer F. Laves (1932) for the first time and designated ``Laves' graph of girth ten" by geometer H. S. M. Coxeter (1955)---is a…
A re-calculation of a known family of formulas of PI is carried out, revisiting the old Archimedes' algorithm. This allows to identify a general family equation and three new simple formulas of Pi in terms of the golden ratio PHI in the…
Let $f(z)=e^{2i\pi\theta} z+z^2$, where $\theta$ is a quadratic irrational. McMullen proved that the Siegel disk for $f$ is self-similar about the critical point. We give a lower bound for the ratio of self-similarity, and we show that if…
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…
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…
Let $\alpha=(1+\sqrt 5)/2$, the golden ratio, and $\beta=-1/\alpha=(1 - \sqrt 5)/2$. Let $F_n$ and $L_n$ be the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, defined by $F_n=(\alpha^n -\beta^n)/\sqrt 5$ and $L_n=\alpha^n + \beta^n$, for all non-negative…
A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped. Its edges, its face diagonals, and its space diagonal are of integer lengths. None of such cuboids is known thus far, though the system of Diophantine equations describing them is easily…
In a previous work [Scientific Reports 4, 6193(2014)] we proved the existence of scale symmetry in square and triangular (thus honeycomb) lattices by investigating the functiony=\arcsin(\sin(2\pinx)), where the parameter is either the…
We give two proofs of the identity $$\sqrt{\frac{\cos\frac{2\pi}{5}} {\cos\frac{\pi}{5}}}+\sqrt{\frac{\cos\frac{\pi}{5}} {\cos\frac{2\pi}{5}} }=\sqrt{5},$$ using and not using the gold ratio.
