Space-filling curve

Definition

In mathematical analysis, a space-filling curve is a curve whose range reaches every point in a higher dimensional region, typically the unit square. Because Giuseppe Peano (1858–1932) was the first to discover one, space-filling curves in the 2-dimensional plane are sometimes called Peano curves, but that phrase also refers to the Peano curve, the specific example of a space-filling curve found by Peano.
