  2. Fractal dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_dimension

    The theoretical fractal dimension for this fractal is 5/31.67; its empirical fractal dimension from box counting analysis is ±1% [8] using fractal analysis software. A fractal dimension is an index for characterizing fractal patterns or sets by quantifying their complexity as a ratio of the change in detail to the change in scale.

  3. Mathematical morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_morphology

    Mathematical Morphology was developed in 1964 by the collaborative work of Georges Matheron and Jean Serra, at the École des Mines de Paris, France.Matheron supervised the PhD thesis of Serra, devoted to the quantification of mineral characteristics from thin cross sections, and this work resulted in a novel practical approach, as well as theoretical advancements in integral geometry and ...

  4. Dividing a square into similar rectangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_square_into...

    However, there are three distinct ways of partitioning a square into three similar rectangles: [1] [2] The trivial solution given by three congruent rectangles with aspect ratio 3:1. The solution in which two of the three rectangles are congruent and the third one has twice the side length of the other two, where the rectangles have aspect ...

  5. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  6. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    Fractions can be used to represent ratios and division. [1] Thus the fraction3 / 4 ⁠ can be used to represent the ratio 3:4 (the ratio of the part to the whole), and the division 3 ÷ 4 (three divided by four). We can also write negative fractions, which represent the opposite of a positive fraction.

  7. Pizza theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_theorem

    Let p be an interior point of the disk, and let n be a multiple of 4 that is greater than or equal to 8. Form n sectors of the disk with equal angles by choosing an arbitrary line through p, rotating the line ⁠ n / 2 ⁠ − 1 times by an angle of ⁠ 2 π / n ⁠ radians, and slicing the disk on each of the resulting ⁠ n / 2 ⁠ lines.

  8. Polygonal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygonal_number

    In mathematics, a polygonal number is a number that counts dots arranged in the shape of a regular polygon [1]: 2-3 . These are one type of 2-dimensional figurate numbers . Polygonal numbers were first studied during the 6th century BC by the Ancient Greeks, who investigated and discussed properties of oblong , triangular , and square numbers ...

  9. Dragon curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_curve

    Heighway dragon curve. A dragon curve is any member of a family of self-similar fractal curves, which can be approximated by recursive methods such as Lindenmayer systems.The dragon curve is probably most commonly thought of as the shape that is generated from repeatedly folding a strip of paper in half, although there are other curves that are called dragon curves that are generated differently.
