Abstract

Different extended icosahedral structures are obtained from energy minimization and local symmetry Yh. The quasi fractal character of one of these is demonstrated from the quasi algorithm of definition, the gamma density of holes and the measured Hausdorff number ∂. The spectral dimension ∂ is measured and dimensions corresponding to higher derivatives are defined.
