Abstract :
The regularity of patterns of two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulated trees produced by a personal computer has been investigated from the standpoint of fractal dimension. The results show that the two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulated trees have fractal properties and that their fractal dimensions depend on the patterns of their trees. An example of a tree produced by random walk simulations with a random number when the origin is chosen as the tip of the growing tree is given
