Unnested Sierpinski Polygons II

by Simon Whitechapel

When additional points are inserted on the direct line between the vertices, other fractals appear:

vertices = 3 + 1 x inserted; n = 3; diff = 1


v = 3 + 1 inserted + center; n = 4; diff = 1


Enlargements of previous image


vertices = 4 + 1 x inserted; n = 5; diff = 1

Another variant is to specify that a vertex chosen at cycle cn is not to be chosen again until cycle cn+t.

v = 4; n = 1; t = 2


v = 4 + center; n = 1; t = 2


Enlargement of previous image


v = 5; n = 1; t = 2


Enlargement of previous image


v = 5; n = 1; t = 3


Enlargement of previous image


v = 6; n = 2; t = 2


Enlargements of previous image

Other variants are left as an exercise for the recreational mathematician:

v = 4; n = 2; t = 2


v = 5; n = 2; t = 2


Enlargements of previous image
