Fractal curve

A fractal curve is, loosely, a mathematical curve whose shape retains the same general pattern of irregularity, regardless of how high it is magnified, that is, its graph takes the form of a fractal. In general, fractal curves are nowhere rectifiable curves — that is, they do not have finite length — and every subarc longer than a single point has infinite length. A famous example is the boundary of the Mandelbrot set. (Wikipedia).

Fractal Derivative

In this video, I define a neat concept called the fractal derivative (which shouldn't be confused with fractional derivatives). Then I provide a couple of examples, and finally I present an application of this concept to the study of anomalous diffusion in physics. Enjoy!

Ahlfors-Bers 2014 "Conformal invariance and critical behavior within critical fractal carpets"

Wendelin Werner (ETH Zürich): Some aspects of conformal invariance can survive within fractal carpets in the plane. In the present talk, I will survey how it is possible to make sense in a rather precise way of certain of these ideas in the special case of certain random -- yet very natura

Douglas McKenna - Half-Domino Curves in an Interactive Math Book - G4G14 Apr 2022

The well-known Hilbert Curve, with its non-fractal square boundary, turns out to be a special case of a larger class of space-filling curves of unit area called "half-domino" curves. These are also tiles in the limit, but with infinitely long, almost-everywhere linear boundaries that are b

8.3: Fractal Recursion with ArrayList of Objects (Koch Curve) - The Nature of Code

This video looks at how to use an ArrayList to store the parts of a fractal as separate objects. This allows a fractal to experience physics. The Koch curve is used as a demonstration. (If I reference a link or project and it's not included in this description, please let me know!) Rea
