3D Koch-type crystals (Q6057124)

Summary: We consider the construction of a family \(\{K_N\}\) of \(3\)-dimensional Koch-type surfaces, with a corresponding family of \(3\)-dimensional Koch-type ``snowflake analogues'' \(\{\mathcal{C}_N\} \), where \(N>1\) are integers with \(N \not\equiv 0 \pmod{3}\). We first establish that the Koch surfaces \(K_N\) are \(s_N\)-sets with respect to the \(s_N\)-dimensional Hausdorff measure, for \(s_N=\log(N^2+2)/\log(N)\) the Hausdorff dimension of each Koch-type surface \(K_N\). Using self-similarity, one deduces that the same result holds for each Koch-type crystal \(\mathcal{C}_N\). We then develop lower and upper approximation monotonic sequences converging to the \(s_N\)-dimensional Hausdorff measure on each Koch-type surface \(K_N\), and consequently, one obtains upper and lower bounds for the Hausdorff measure for each set \(\mathcal{C}_N\). As an application, we consider the realization of Robin boundary value problems over the Koch-Choi, Jae Giltype crystals \(\mathcal{C}_N\), for \(N>2\).
