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.
