Consider three mutually tangent circles, and draw their inner Soddy circle. Then draw the inner Soddy circles of this circle with each pair of the original three, and continue iteratively. The steps in the process are illustrated above (Trott 2004, pp. 34-35).
An animation illustrating the construction of the gasket is shown above.
The points which are never inside a circle form a set of measure 0 having fractal dimension approximately 1.3058 (Mandelbrot 1983, p. 172). The Apollonian gasket corresponds to a limit set that is invariant under a Kleinian group (Wolfram 2002, p. 986).
The Apollonian gasket can also be generalized to three dimensions (Boyd 1973, Andrade et al. 2005), as illustrated above. A graph obtained by connecting the centers of touching spheres in a three-dimensional Apollonian gasket by edges is known as an Apollonian network.
