NAME

Math::PlanePath::CornerReplicate -- replicating U parts

SYNOPSIS

use Math::PlanePath::CornerReplicate;
my $path = Math::PlanePath::CornerReplicate->new;
my ($x, $y) = $path->n_to_xy (123);

DESCRIPTION

This path is a self-similar replicating corner fill with 2x2 blocks. It's sometimes called a "U order" since the base N=0 to N=3 is like a "U" (sideways).

The pattern is the initial N=0 to N=3 section,

It repeats as 2x2 blocks arranged in the same pattern, then 4x4 blocks, etc. There's no rotations or reflections within sub-parts.

X axis N=0,1,4,5,16,17,etc is all the integers which use only digits 0 and 1 in base 4. For example N=17 is 101 in base 4.

Y axis N=0,3,12,15,48,etc is all the integers which use only digits 0 and 3 in base 4. For example N=51 is 303 in base 4.

The X=Y diagonal N=0,2,8,10,32,34,etc is all the integers which use only digits 0 and 2 in base 4.

The X axis is the same as the ZOrderCurve. The Y axis here is the X=Y diagonal of the ZOrderCurve, and conversely the X=Y diagonal here is the Y axis of the ZOrderCurve.

The N value at a given X,Y is converted to or from the ZOrderCurve by transforming base-4 digit values 2<->3. This can be done by a bitwise "X xor Y". When Y has a 1-bit the xor swaps 2<->3 in N.

ZOrder X  = CRep X xor CRep Y
ZOrder Y  = CRep Y

CRep X  = ZOrder X xor ZOrder Y
CRep Y  = ZOrder Y

See Math::PlanePath::LCornerReplicate for a rotating corner form.

Level Ranges

A given replication extends to

Nlevel = 4^level - 1
0 <= X < 2^level
0 <= Y < 2^level

Hamming Distance

The Hamming distance between two integers X and Y is the number of bit positions where the two values differ when written in binary. In this corner replicate each bit-pair of N becomes a bit of X and a bit of Y,

   N      X   Y
------   --- ---
0 = 00    0   0
1 = 01    1   0     <- difference 1 bit
2 = 10    1   1
3 = 11    0   1     <- difference 1 bit

So the Hamming distance is the number of base4 bit-pairs of N which are 01 or 11. Counting bit positions from 0 for least significant bit, this is the 1-bits in even positions,

HammingDist(X,Y) = count 1-bits at even bit positions in N
                 = 0,1,0,1, 1,2,1,2, 0,1,0,1, 1,2,1,2, ... (A139351)

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for behaviour common to all path classes.

$path = Math::PlanePath::CornerReplicate->new ()

Create and return a new path object.

($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)

Return the X,Y coordinates of point number $n on the path. Points begin at 0 and if $n < 0 then the return is an empty list.

($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->rect_to_n_range ($x1,$y1, $x2,$y2)

The returned range is exact, meaning $n_lo and $n_hi are the smallest and biggest in the rectangle.

Level Methods

($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->level_to_n_range($level)

Return (0, 4**$level - 1).

FORMULAS

N to dX,dY

The change dX,dY is given by N in base 4 count trailing 3s and the digit above those trailing 3s.

N = ...[d]333...333      base 4
          \--exp--/

When N to N+1 crosses between 4^k blocks it goes as follows. Within a block the pattern is the same, since there's no rotations or transposes etc.

N, N+1        X      Y        dX       dY       dSum     dDiffXY
--------   -----  -------   -----  --------    ------    -------
033..33       0    2^k-1      2^k  -(2^k-1)        +1    2*2^k-1
100..00      2^k       0

133..33      2^k    2^k-1       0       +1         +1       -1
200..00      2^k    2^k

133..33      2^k  2*2^k-1    -2^k     1-2^k   -(2^k-1)      -1
200..00       0     2^k

133..33       0   2*2^k-1   2*2^k -(2*2^k-1)       +1    4*2^k-1
200..00    2*2^k      0

It can be noted dSum=dX+dY the change in X+Y is at most +1, taking values 1, -1, -3, -7, -15, etc. The crossing from block 2 to 3 drops back, such as at N=47="233" to N=48="300". Everywhere else it advances by +1 anti-diagonal.

The difference dDiffXY=dX-dY the change in X-Y decreases at most -1, taking similar values -1, 1, 3, 7, 15, etc but in a different order to dSum.
