Cantor set Henry John Stephen Smith discovered the Cantor set in 1874. Georg Ferdinand Ludwig Philipp Cantor introduced the Cantor set as an example of a perfect set that is nowhere dense in the real line R in 1883. Ternary Cantor set c 2 [ 0 , 1 ] : c = a 0 + a 1 3 + a 2 � C = 3 2 + · · · , a i 2 { 0 , 2 } for all i � 0 C is self-similar: C = ϕ 1 ( C ) [ ϕ 2 ( C ) where ϕ 1 ( x ) = x 3 and ϕ 1 ( x ) = x 3 + 2 3 .
