BP531 Fractal is tiled by three smaller copies of itself vs. fractal is tiled by five smaller copies of itself.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

More specifically, all left examples shown in this Problem have Hausdorff dimension log2(3) while all right examples have Hausdorff dimension log3(5).


Left examples can tile themselves by any power of 3 smaller same-sized copies of themselves while right examples can tile themselves by any power of 5 smaller same-sized copies of themselves.


Homage to Bongard's original three versus five Problems.

BP1120 No same-sized copies of self overlap vs. distinct same-sized copies overlap.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

With mathematical jargon:

No distinct same-sized copies of self overlap on a subset with positive measure in the Hausdorff measure using the Hausdorff dimension.


For a covering of a fractal by finitely many scaled down copies of itself, the condition of that no two have an intersection with positive measure is equivalent to the condition that the Hausdorff dimension coincides with the similarity dimension.

(There is another similar condition in this context called the "open set condition" which implies this but is not equivalent. The open set condition is equivalent to the condition that the Hausdorff measure using the similarity dimension is nonzero.)

BP1241 Any point contained in (arbitrarily) smaller version of self vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Note if any point is contained in some smaller version of the whole, then any point is contained in arbitrarily smaller versions of the whole.


It isn't possible to unambiguously communicate in a picture whether or not a few specific points are included in the fractal. The pictures are interpreted as what is intuitively simplest. To make matters less ambiguous, all the fractals here contain all points arbitrarily close to points in them. (They are topologically closed. See also BP1239.)


The left hand side of this is a stronger condition than the left hand side of BP1116.
