Summary: We describe the computations done by the authors in determining the dimension of the boundary of the Lévy dragon. A general theory was developed for calculating the dimension of a self-similar tile and the theory was applied to this particular set. The computations were challenging. It seemed that a matrix which was \(2^{15}\times 2^{15}\) would have to be analyzed. It was possible to reduce the analysis to a \(752\times 752\) matrix. At last it was seen that if \(\lambda\) is the largest eigenvalue of a certain \(734\times 734\) matrix, then \(\dim_H(K)= {\ln(\lambda)\over \ln(\sqrt{(2)})}\). Perron-Frobenius theory played an important role in analyzing this matrix.
