	Bartholdi on spacefilling curves
		A famous spacefilling curve is that due to Sierpinski, which is formed by repeatedly copying and shrinking a simple pattern (the convoluted tour in Figure 1).
		A useful property of a spacefilling curve is that it tends to visit all the points in a region once it has entered that region.

	Space-Filling Curves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A space-filling curve is typically defined as the limit of a sequence of curves.
		For example, the name Hilbert space-filling curve should properly be used only for the limit curve reached as the level parameter of the Hilbert curves tends to infinity.
		The Sierpinski_C curve and the Sierpinski curve are, in a sense, complements of each other: the shape of the areas excluded by one curve is the shape included by the other.

	The Hilbert Space Filling Curve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The actual Hilbert Curve is not a member of this family, it is the limit that the sequence approaches.
		The next curve in the sequence is a refinement of this, we consider each of the quarters to be a box with the appropriate orientation, so that the curve is entering and leaving from the bottom left and leaving in the bottom right.
		This apparent riddle is solved as although none of the family of curves leading to the Hilbert curve crosses itself the final curve does cross itself all over the place.

		3 iterations of the Peano curve, a space-filling curve
		A curve (with endpoints) is a continuous function whose domain is the unit interval [0,1].
		Space-filling curves are curves whose ranges contain the entire 2-dimensional unit square (or the 3-dimensional unit cube, or n-dimensional hypercube).

		There is a very nice way to convert from the Hilbert derived key to (multi-dimensional coordinates) described by John J. Bartholdi, III and Paul Goldsman in “Vertex-Labeling Algorithms for the Hilbert Spacefilling Curve”.

	Plane Filling Curves
		The curves become longer and longer but, since it's always possible to move from one step to another, the process will never end.
		Disregarding the pieces of the curve that cross small square borders we see (starting with the second stage) that those small squares contain small replicas of the curve drawn on the previous stage, i.e.
		As before, when placing curves in the smaller squares two of the staples are placed in the direction of the bigger one they replace whereas one is turned left and another right quarter turn relative to the position of the parent staple.

		Then divide this up into four smaller squares with an edge such that the designated edges of the smaller squares form a curve starting and ending at the same points as the edge of the large one.
		But the image of a curve is closed, and so it must be all of the square.
		However, the curve itself is a function from an interval to the square.

		To create a curve that does not touch itself, he suggested connecting the midpoints of the segments in the Dragon with line segments.
		If you now examine the order 3 curve, you'll see that the same traversing plan is used, begining with the upper left 16 squares and ending with the upper right 16 squares, each group of squares traversed according as the order 2 curve dictates.
		As a final example of a median curve based on a dissection, here is one using a dissection of a 30-60-90 degree triangle dissected into three such triangles.

		The sum of squares of the edge lengths of the tour provided by the spacefilling curve heuristic applied to a random sample of n points from the unit square is proved to be asymptotically equal to a periodic function of the logarithm of the sample size.
		The spacefilling curve heuristic rests on the existence of a surjective mapping 0 : [0, 1], [0, 112 such that for each X E [0, 1]2 we can quickly compute a t E [0, 11 such that V)(t) = x.
		We will establish the possibly surprising fact that for a large class of spacefilling curves the value of this random variable is well approximated by a periodic function of the logarithm of the sample size.

		The spacefilling curve heuristic takes only $O(N \log N)$ time and generates a solution about 25 percent longer than optimal (for cities distributed uniformly in a square).
		The heuristic is based on a spacefilling curve $\phi$, which is a continuous (but not one-to-one) mapping from the unit interval C = [0,1] onto the unit square $S = [0,1]^2$.
		The key to generating multiple solutions, as required for the initial population for the GA, is the observation that the spacefilling curve heuristic is {\it not} invariant with respect to these operations.

		The tour given by the spacefilling curve heuristic applied to a random sample of points from the unit square differs in subtle ways from the shortest tour through those points.
		The theory is developed further by detailing the selfsimilarity properties of the spacefilling curve that are useful for obtaining the asymptotics of the expected length of the heuristic path.
		Many of the classical spacefilling curves are Lipschitz of order onehalf, which is to say there exists a constant cp so that for any 0 s, t 1 one has 110(s) 0(01 5 cpl S t1112.

		It is hoped that random matrix theory can be used to predict the frequency with which curves in a family have a given rank.
		One possibility is that the current model makes incorrect assumptions about the distribution of heights of generating points of rank 1 curves.
		You can also see that you do not have to worry about the floor reflection if the woofer is placed low to the ground and the midrange is placed high and the crossover point is placed between the floor knees of the two drivers.

	Hilbert Space Filling Curve Abstract Geometric Art
		I have been experimenting with space filling curves now for some time, this space filling curve art generator (opens in a new page, shockwave 35k) in particular has been in the works since Summer 2005.

	SLIB - Hashing
		The returned procedures is a function that takes the x and y coordinates of a point, (non-negative integers) and returns an integer corresponding to the relative position of that point along a Sierpinski curve.
		Note that locations (24, 78) and (23, 80) are near in index and therefore, because the Sierpinski spacefilling curve is continuous, we know they must also be near in the plane.
		For details of performance, see L. Platzman and J. Bartholdi, "Spacefilling curves and the Euclidean travelling salesman problem", JACM 36(4):719--737 (October 1989) and references therein.

		It may not be the actual values of the parameters that are of interest, so much as their distribution: whether they are well scattered, or clustered, or confined to one or two small regions of the parameter space.
		A spacefilling curve $\phi$ is a continuous mapping from the unit interval to a higher dimensional region, for example the unit $k$-cube.
		To use this technique, a pseudoinverse of the spacefilling curve is needed.

		For our purposes, we will define a SFC (space-filling curve), as a curve whose ranges contains the entire 2-dimensional unit square (as defined on wikipedia).
		If the curve is followed from beginning to end, then all of the points in the TSP will be encountered.
		Technically a better way of doing this would be to apply a higher iterate of the space filling curve to those regions with multiple points, but that is unneccessary for this examination.

		For another property of the parity number, see the spacefilling curve item in the TOPOLOGY section.
		The third hand rotates around the end of the second at four times this rate; etc. It would seem that the end of the "last" hand (really there are infinitely many) would sweep through space very fast, tracing out an (infinitely) long curve in the time the first hand rotates once.
		Thus it is unclear whether the curve's arc length is really infinite.

		Therefore, intuitively, I thought the well-designed SFC should be a pattern that are recursively constructed, and the structure of such pattern will be reserved anywhere in the big one.
