Planar Substitutions to Lebesgue type Space-Filling Curves and Relatively Dense Fractal-like Sets in the Plane

Abstract

Lebesgue curve is a space-filling curve that fills the unit square through linear interpolation. In this study, we generalise Lebesgue's construction to generate space-filling curves from any given planar substitution satisfying a mild condition. The generated space-filling curves for some known substitutions are elucidated. Some of those substitutions further induce relatively dense fractal-like sets in the plane, whenever some additional assumptions are met.
