BP532 Self-tiling fractal using one size of tile vs. does not tile itself with a single size of itself.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
CROSSREFS

This is BP344 ("rep-tiles") but for fractals.

See BP1119 for the version with multiple different sizes of tile allowed.

BP1116 Contains self somewhere within any area around any point within self vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Very similar to the less clearly-defined solution "tiles itself with infinitely many copies (different sizes allowed) vs. does not".


The left hand side of this is a weaker condition than the left hand side of BP1241.

BP1119 Tiled by finitely many smaller copies of itself (different sizes allowed) vs. not so.

COMMENTS

These are sometimes called "irreptiles".

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.

COMMENTS

Proofs still needed that all the examples on the left hand side cannot fit on the right hand side as well, and that EX9881 cannot fit on the left hand side as well.

CROSSREFS

The left hand side implies the left hand side of BP1116.

The right hand side does not imply the right hand side of BP1116. (EX9881 is meant to be a counterexample.)

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Proofs are still needed for examples fitting right.


EX9875 is tiled by Sierpinski triangles, but this requires the Sierpinski triangle tiles' bounding triangles to overlap.

Self-tiling fractals (BP532left) are all sorted left.
