Abstract
Labyrinth fractals are dendrites in the unit square. They were introduced and studied in the last decade first in the self-similar case [Cristea & Steinsky (2009,2011)], then in the mixed case [Cristea & Steinsky (2017), Cristea & Leobacher (2017)]. Supermixed fractals constitute a significant generalisation of mixed labyrinth fractals: each step of the iterative construction is done according to not just one labyrinth pattern, but possibly to several different patterns. In this paper we introduce and study supermixed labyrinth fractals and the corresponding prefractals, called supermixed labyrinth sets, with focus on the aspects that were previously studied for the self-similar and mixed case: topological properties and properties of the arcs between points in the fractal. The facts and formulae found here extend results proven in the above mentioned cases. One of the main results is a sufficient condition for infinite length of arcs in mixed labyrinth fractals.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
