CONT

Escaliers diaboliques de Besicovitch (...) Leur trait le plus frappant, par rapport à l'escalier du diable, s'observe si l'on divise l'abscisse en un grand nombre de petits segments. Aucun ne correspond à une marche horizontale; toutefois, une très grande proportion du déplacement vertical total s'opère sur un très petit déplacement horizontal, dont la dimension fractale augmente quand on s'éloigne de l'escalier de Cantor.
