The fractal structure of elliptical polynomial spirals (Q2165631)

The authors consider elliptical polynomial spirals of the form \[ S_{p,q} := \left\{t^{-p} \cos t + i t^{-q}\sin t : 1 < t < \infty\right\} \] and perform a dimensional analysis of this special family of elliptical spirals. In particular, the intermediate, box-counting (Minkowski), and Assouad-type dimensions of \(S_{p,q}\) are computed. Moreover, as an application of the computed dimensions, permissible values of \(\alpha\) are derived for which there may exist \(\alpha\)-Hölder functions \(f: S_{p,q} \to S_{r,s}\) deforming one elliptical polynomial spiral into another. Finally, it is shown that the Assouad spectrum of \(S_{p,q}\) contains two points of non-differentiability.
