4. Technical Presentation

Craig Kaplan

Title : Smooth Fractal-Like Curves Abstract: I present a technique for constructing fractal-like curves from smooth base curves. The technique is similar to that used in Iterated Function Systems like the Koch curve, except that it does not require a piecewise linear path in order to induce a set of similarities. I explain the mathematical machinery behind the technique, describe a practical numerical approximation that can be implemented in software, and show some results.
