Monstre mathématique, à homothétie interne et à dimension fractal D=2, tracée en 1890 par G. Peano pour montrer comment un point déplacé continuellement dans un carré peut rencontrer au moins une fois chaque point du carré. Pour cette raison, elle est aussi appelée «courbe de remplissage du plan ou de l'espace». 3, record 1, French, - courbe%20de%20remplissage

Le terme «courbe de Peano» s'applique génériquement à toute une famille de courbes pathologiques qui ont joué de 1890 à 1925 un rôle décisif dans l'élaboration du concept de dimension topologique. 5, record 1, French, - courbe%20de%20remplissage

Ces courbes ont la forme d'arbres, de rivières, de colliers péaniens. D. Hilbert a développé une courbe de Peano ouverte. W. Sierpinski a généré une courbe de Peano fermée, Heightway, Ch. Davis et D. Knuth ont construit des courbes de Peano appelées dragons et terdragons, et Gosper a construit une courbe de Peano à partir de 7 hexagones réguliers qu'il a appelée «le serpentin» (flowsnake). 3, record 1, French, - courbe%20de%20remplissage
