BP1107 Contains smaller copy of self with black and white inverted vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

There are various problematic cases left out. Are black and white to be inverted within a fractal's convex hull or its outermost outline?

Must this outline be preserved around the smaller inverted version of the fractal, or is it allowed to bleed into other white areas?

No examples have been included in this Bongard Problem whose placement depends on these questions.

BP1115 Fractals tile one another vs. not so (fractals are rather tiled by some combination of one another and themselves).

Rotations and reflections avoided in all examples for simplicity.

BP1116 Contains self somewhere within any area around any point within self vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Very similar to the less clearly-defined solution "tiles itself with infinitely many copies (different sizes allowed) vs. does not".


The left hand side of this is a weaker condition than the left hand side of BP1241.

There is only ever one such center of self-similarity or infinitely many.

These are sometimes called "irreptiles".

See BP532 for the version with only one size of tile allowed.

BP1120 No same-sized copies of self overlap vs. distinct same-sized copies overlap.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

With mathematical jargon:

No distinct same-sized copies of self overlap on a subset with positive measure in the Hausdorff measure using the Hausdorff dimension.


For a covering of a fractal by finitely many scaled down copies of itself, the condition of that no two have an intersection with positive measure is equivalent to the condition that the Hausdorff dimension coincides with the similarity dimension.

(There is another similar condition in this context called the "open set condition" which implies this but is not equivalent. The open set condition is equivalent to the condition that the Hausdorff measure using the similarity dimension is nonzero.)

BP1227 Appears on its own right side vs. does not.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This was created as an example of a Bongard Problem that could include an image of a Bongard Problem with the same solution as itself but could not include the very image of itself (appearing within itself fractally).
