Dragon curves revisited. (English) Zbl 1295.28013

From the introduction: The goal of this article is to bring Dragon curves into the spotlight again and to pay tribute to Chandler Davis, a coauthor of an elegant theory that explains the striking features of these curves. This article is merely an invitation to the subject; the reader should not expect a thorough survey of the results or proofs.
