Randomised mixed labyrinth fractals
Abstract
In this paper, the class of randomised mixed labyrinth fractals is introduced. It is a class of finitely ramified Sierpinski carpets that generalize mixed labyrinth fractals. The structures are generated by randomly selected labyrinth patterns with fixed selection probabilities at each iteration level, offering a flexible framework to study fractal topology, arc dimensions, and shortest path properties. Here, the focus lies on analysing how the randomised mixing of patterns - specifically their shape, symmetry, and path geometry - effects arc dimensions, path lengths, and isotropy restoration. The study reveals that isotropy, previously shown for self-similar fractals, extends to the randomised mixed class. Various scaling behaviours of shortest path dimensions with respect to the mixing probability are identified, including linear and nonlinear monotonic trends, as well as transitions with maxima. The approximated path matrix is proposed as an efficient alternative to extensive iterative simulations, reliably reproducing statistical results. The findings highlight the relevance of pattern properties in determining fractal structures and dynamics and suggest applications in physical systems such as diffusion, signal processing, and antenna design.
