Hilbert Curve
The Hilbert Curve is a continuous fractal space-filling curve that maps a one-dimensional line into a two-dimensional space. It was first described by the mathematician David Hilbert in 1891. The curve is constructed recursively, meaning it is built in stages, with each stage increasing its complexity and filling more area in the two-dimensional space.
This curve has interesting properties, such as preserving locality, which means that points that are close together in one dimension remain close in two dimensions. The Hilbert Curve is used in various fields, including computer graphics, data visualization, and spatial indexing, due to its efficient way of organizing multidimensional data.
