Your McMullen carpet

mark

(10 pts)

In this problem, you’re going to generate and analyze your own McMullen Carpet. Specifically, given a skelatal description of a McMullen Carpet, you will

  1. Generate a detailed image of the carpet using this Observable notebook and
  2. Compute the box-counting dimension of the carpet using McMullen’s formula.

To view the skeleton of your McMullen Carpet, choose your name from the list below:

  1. Here is the generated image of my carpet: untitled (1)

  2. My box-counting dimension using McMullen’s formula ended up as:
    \dim(C) = \frac{\log(2)}{\log(3)} + \frac{\log(\frac{6}{2})}{\log(5)}=\frac{\log(2)}{\log(3)} + \frac{\log(3)}{\log(5)}\approx 1.3135

I was able to generate this picture
McMullen

And computed my dimension using:

\dim(C)=\frac{\log2}{\log2}+\frac{\log(\frac{2}{2})}{\log2}=1+\frac{\log1}{\log2}=1.

The box counting dimension using parameters M=3, N=6, m=3, n=5 is \dim(C) = \frac{\log(3)}{\log(3)} + \frac{\log(6/3)}{\log(5)} \approx 1.43.

My box-counting dimension using McMullen’s formula:

dim(C)= \frac{log(2)}{log(3)}+\frac{log(\frac{6}{3})}{log(5)} =\frac{log(2)}{log(3)}+\frac{log(2)}{log(5)}\approx 1.0616

My Mcmullen Carpet:

Using the box counting method to calculate the dimension gave me:
dim(C) = \frac{log(3)}{log(3)}+\frac{log(\frac{6}{3})}{log(4)}=1+.5=1.5

  2. My box-counting using McMullen’s formula ended up as:
    dim(C)= \frac{log(2)}{log(2)} + \frac{log(\frac{4}{2})}{log(4)} = 1.5
