I'm interested in filling 2d square with space filling, non-self-intersecting, locality preserving, self-similar curves, like Hilbert curve. I found interesting work concerning three dimensional case "How many three-dimensional Hilbert curves are there?" http://www4.ncsu.edu/~njrose/pdfFiles/HilbertCurve.pdf but I need 2d.

Actually I'm looking for plane filling non-self-intersecting curves with short Lindenmayer representation. But I have no ideas how to generate all those except with brute-force. Is there any literature on the subject?

    $\begingroup$ What do you mean by a "plane filling non-self-intersecting curve"? The paper to which you gave a link does not include this notion. $\endgroup$ – Wlodek Kuperberg Oct 3 '18 at 20:30

    $\begingroup$ I’m pretty sure plane filling curves can’t be bijective. $\endgroup$ – Thomas Rot Oct 3 '18 at 20:44

    $\begingroup$ @ThomasRot I meant like Hilbert curve it can self-contact without self-crossing. $\endgroup$ – Moonwalker Oct 3 '18 at 20:57

    $\begingroup$ @WlodekKuperberg I would like curves which behave like Hilbert curve. Its limit fills the square while finite representation it is not self-intersecting and even limit case is self-contacting without self-crossing. $\endgroup$ – Moonwalker Oct 3 '18 at 21:27

    $\begingroup$ You probably need a definition of "self crossing". $\endgroup$ – Gerald Edgar Oct 4 '18 at 0:21
