NAME¶
Math::PlanePath::HIndexing -- self-similar right-triangle traversal
SYNOPSIS¶
use Math::PlanePath::HIndexing; my $path = Math::PlanePath::HIndexing->new; my ($x, $y) = $path->n_to_xy (123);
DESCRIPTION¶
This is an infinite integer version of H-indexing per
It traverses an eighth of the plane by self-similar right triangles. Notice the "H" shapes that arise from the backtracking, for example N=8 to N=23, and repeating above it.

The tiling is essentially the same as the Sierpinski curve (see Math::PlanePath::SierpinskiCurve). The following is with two points per triangle. Or equally well it could be thought of with those triangles further divided to have one point each, a little skewed.

The correspondence to the "SierpinskiCurve" path is as follows. The 4-point verticals like N=0 to N=3 are a Sierpinski horizontal, and the 4-point "U" parts like N=4 to N=7 are a Sierpinski vertical. In both cases there's an X,Y transpose and bit of stretching.

Level Ranges¶
Counting the initial N=0 to N=7 section as level 1, the X,Y ranges for a given level is
Nlevel = 2*4^level - 1
Xmax = 2*2^level - 2
Ymax = 2*2^level - 1
For example level=3 is N through to Nlevel=2*4^3-1=127 and X,Y ranging up to Xmax=2*2^3-2=14 and Xmax=2*2^3-1=15.
On even Y rows, the N on the X=Y diagonal is found by duplicating each bit in Y except the low zero (which is unchanged). For example Y=10 decimal is 1010 binary, duplicate to binary 1100110 is N=102.
It would be possible to take a level as N=0 to N=4^k-1 too, which would be a triangle against the Y axis. The 2*4^level - 1 is per the paper above.
FUNCTIONS¶
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for behaviour common to all path classes.
- "$path = Math::PlanePath::HIndexing->new ()"
- Create and return a new path object.
- "($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)"
- Return the X,Y coordinates of point number $n on the path. Points begin at 0 and if "$n < 0" then the return is an empty list.
Level Methods¶
- "($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->level_to_n_range($level)"
- Return "(0, 2*4**$level - 1)".
FORMULAS¶
Area¶
The area enclosed by curve in its triangular level k is
A[k] = (2^k-1)^2
= 0, 1, 9, 49, 225, 961, 3969, 16129, ... (A060867)
For example level k=2 enclosed area marked by "@" signs,
7 | *---*---*---*---*---*---31
| | | @ | | @ | | @ |
6 | * *---* * * *---*
| | | @ |
5 | * *---* * *
| | | @ | | @ |
4 | *---* * *---* level k=2
| | @ @ | N=0 to N=31
3 | *-- * *
| | | @ | A[2] = 9
2 | * *-- *
| |
1 | *
| |
Y=0 | 0

X=0 1 2 3 4 5 6

<----> = 2^k - 2
Parts 0 and 3 are identical. Parts 1 and 2 are mirror images of 0 and 3 respectively. Parts 0 and 1 have an area in between 1 high and 2^k-2 wide (eg. 2^2-2=2 wide in the k=2 above). Parts 2 and 3 have an area in between 1 wide 2^k-1 high (eg. 2^2-1=3 high in the k=2 above). So the total area is
A[k] = 4*A[k-1] + 2^k-2 + 2^k-1 starting A[0] = 0
= 4^0 * (2*2^k - 3)
+ 4^1 * (2*2^(k-1) - 3)
+ 4^2 * (2*2^(k-2) - 3)
+ ...
+ 4^(k-1) * (2*2^1 - 3)
+ 4^k * A[0]
= 2*2*(4^k - 2^k)/(4-2) - 3*(4^k - 1)/(4-1)
= (2^k - 1)^2
Half Level Areas¶
Block 1 ends at the top-left corner and block 2 start there. The area before that midpoint enclosed to the Y axis can be calculated. Likewise the area after that midpoint to the top line. Both are two blocks, and with either 2^k-2 or 2^k-1 in between. They're therefore half the total area A[k], with the extra unit square going to the top AT[k].
AY[k] = floor(A[k]/2)
= 0, 0, 4, 24, 112, 480, 1984, 8064, 32512, ... (A059153)
AT[k] = ceil(A[k]/2)
= 0, 1, 5, 25, 113, 481, 1985, 8065, 32513, ... (A092440)
