A Multicontrol p-ary Subdivision Scheme to Generate Fractal Curves

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we firstly devise a p-ary subdivision scheme based on normal vectors with multi-parameters to generate fractals. The method is easy to use and effective in generating fractals since the values of the parameters and the directions of normal vectors can be designed freely to control the shape of generated fractals. Secondly, we illustrate the technique with some design results of fractal generation and the corresponding fractal examples from the point of view of visualization. Finally, some fractal properties of the limit of the presented subdivision scheme are described from the point of view of theoretical analysis.
