Geometric and Topological Properties of Fractal Networks

Fractals have been studied in areas such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, social sciences, computing, economics, and biology. Fractal networks have many interesting properties, such as recursive self-similarity, that are present in many real networks. In this paper, we study the geometrical and topological properties of fractal networks (the Sierpinski triangle, the Sierpinski carpet, and the Koch snowflake). Furthermore, we establish relationships, in the fractal structures studied, between the geometric properties associated with hyperbolicity and the topological indices.
