Mixed labyrinth fractals

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Labyrinth fractals are self-similar fractals that were introduced and studied in recent work by Cristea and Steinsky. In the present paper we define and study more general objects, called mixed labyrinth fractals, that are in general not self-similar and are constructed by using sequences of labyrinth patterns. We show that mixed labyrinth fractals are dendrites and study properties of the paths in the graphs associated to prefractals, and of arcs in the fractal, e.g., the path length and the box counting dimension and length of arcs. We also consider more general objects related to mixed labyrinth fractals, formulate two conjectures about arc lengths, and establish connections to recent results on generalised Sierpinski carpets.


This paper is a continuation and extension of work on so-called labyrinth fractals initiated by the authors. Labyrinth fractals are self-similar fractals modelling certain patterns. Mixed labyrinth fractals are a generalization of labyrinth fractals in that they are in general not self-similar and are generated using sequences of so-called labyrinth patterns. It is shown that mixed labyrinth fractals are dendrites. Moreover, the paths in the graphs associated with the pre-fractals and the arcs in the fractal are studied. Connections to recent results concerning generalized Sierpiński gaskets are exhibited.
