In geometry, a fractal canopy, a type of fractal tree, is one of the easiest-to-create types of fractals. Each canopy is created by splitting a line segment into two smaller segments at the end (symmetric binary tree), and then splitting the two smaller segments as well, and so on, infinitely. [1] [2] [3] Canopies are distinguished by the angle between concurrent adjacent segments and ratio between lengths of successive segments.
A fractal canopy must have the following three properties: [4]
The pulmonary system used by humans to breathe resembles a fractal canopy, [3] as do trees, blood vessels, viscous fingering, electrical breakdown, and crystals with appropriately adjusted growth velocity from seed. [5]
