H tree
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Fractal_geometry/sXj38JeN">fractal geometry</a>, the H tree is a <a href="/facts/Fractal/sXj38JeN">fractal</a> tree structure constructed from <a href="/facts/Perpendicular/u0k8xqx4">perpendicular</a> <a href="/facts/Line_segment/V8E0M4qk">line segments</a>, each smaller by a factor of the <a href="/facts/Square_root_of_2/SD0sag94">square root of 2</a> from the next larger adjacent segment. It is so called because its repeating pattern resembles the letter "H". It has <a href="/facts/Hausdorff_dimension/rtX9ryrp">Hausdorff dimension</a> 2, and comes arbitrarily close to every point in a <a href="/facts/Rectangle/mdLfIGKA">rectangle</a>. Its applications include <a href="/facts/VLSI/l1Wgqr27">VLSI</a> design and microwave engineering. </p>
