AN ALGORITHM TO THE SIMULATION OF AN AGGREGATION PHENOMENON THAT GENERATES FIGURES WITH FRACTAL STRUCTURES
Roberto Marcondes CESAR JUNIOR[1]
§
ABSTRACT: An algorithm that
simulates an aggregation phenomenon known as diffusion limited aggregation (D.
L. A.) is introduced. This phenomenon generates figures with fractals
structure. As random numbers play an important role in the running process of
the algorithm, a method for generating such numbers is also included.
§
KEYWORDS: Aggregation phenomenon;
random numbers; fractals.
