[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00015.] Recursive procedures, by which the areas are successively split into smaller pieces and rearranged in each step, are often found in mathematics. About 2200 years ago, Archimedes computed the area surrounded by an arc of a parabola and its chord by an exhaustion method. Other processes in this spirit lead to multigrid methods for the solution of differential equations and further ones to fractal sets. The similarity of the latter is the starting point of the paper.
