Everything about Fractal string

Open subset of the real–number line

An ordinary fractal string is a bounded, open subset of the real number line. Such a subset can be written as an at-most-countable union of connected open intervals with associated lengths written in non-increasing order; we also refer to as a fractal string. For example, is a fractal string corresponding to the Cantor set. A fractal string is the analogue of a one-dimensional "fractal drum," and typically the set has a boundary which corresponds to a fractal such as the Cantor set. The heuristic idea of a fractal string is to study a (one-dimensional) fractal using the "space around the fractal." It turns out that the sequence of lengths of the set itself is "intrinsic," in the sense that the fractal string itself contains information about the fractal to which it corresponds. Wikipedia →
