  • Abstract

    We present a new algorithm for calculating the chemical dimension d1 of finitely ramified Sierpinski carpets. Using an algorithm of Dijkstra, we compute iteratively, using Mathematica, the shortest paths through a carpet. The scaling exponent of the lengths of these shortest paths over the linear size of the carpet is dmin the minimum path dimension, which is related to the chemical dimension.
