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.

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

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

BP1118 Self-similar only scaled about one point vs. multiple centers of self-similarity.

There is only ever one such center of self-similarity or infinitely many.

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.)
