This paper focuses on the original articles written by Waclaw Sierpinski in 1915, when he introduced the recursive structure that bears his name, the Sierpinski’s triangle. His first aim was to exhibit the example of a new set, a curve traced starting from the geometry of the well-known triangle. The triangle, which embodies geometric recursion, was rigorously defined in 1915, but appeared also before Sierpinski, and is still a reference point for scientists.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the original articles written by Waclaw Sierpinski in 1915, when he introduced the recursive structure that bears his name, the Sierpinski’s triangle. His first aim was to exhibit the example of a new set, a curve traced starting from the geometry of the well-known triangle. The triangle, which embodies geometric recursion, was rigorously defined in 1915, but appeared also before Sierpinski, and is still a reference point for scientists.File in questo prodotto:
