The Hilbert curve is a continuous fractal space-filling curve that maps a one-dimensional interval (like the interval [0, 1]) onto a multi-dimensional space, typically a square or cube. It was first proposed by the German mathematician David Hilbert in 1891. The curve is constructed recursively, starting from a simple shape and progressively refining it.
