Title: Cantor set and Space Filling Curve.

Abstract:  The ternary Cantor set C, constructed by George Cantor in 1883, probably is the best-known example of a perfect nowhere-dense set in the real line. In this talk, I am going to give the basic properties of C and study in detail the ternary expansion characterization of C. We then consider the Cantor-Lebesgue function F defined on C, prove its basic properties and study its continuous extension to [0,1]. We also consider the geometric construction of F as the uniform limit of polygonal functions. Next, we consider the Lebesgue's function defined from C onto [0,1]^2 and onto [0,1]^3, as well as their continuous extension to [0,1], i.e. obtained the Lebesgue's space filling curves and Netto's theorem. Last but not least, we discuss, Hausdorff's theorem, which is a natural generalization of the definition of Lebesgue's functions, it states that any compact metric space is a continuous image of C.
