We introduce the fractal expansions, sequences of integers associated to a number. We show that these sequences characterize the O-sequences and encode some information about lex segment ideals. Moreover, we introduce numerical functions called fractal functions, and we use them to solve the open problem of the classification of the Hilbert functions of any bigraded algebra.

Let R/I be an Artinian algebra of codimension 3 with Hilbert function H such that $h_{d-1}>h_d=h_{d+1}$. Ahn and Shin showed that A cannot be level if ${\beta}_{1,d+2}(Gin(I))={\beta}_{2,d+2}(Gin(I))$ where Gin(I) is a generic initial ideal of I. We prove that some certain graded Artinian algebra R/I cannot be level if either ${\beta}_{1,d}(I^{lex})={\beta}_{2,d}(I^{lex})+1\;or\;{\beta}_{1,d+1}(I^{lex})={\beta}_{2,d+1}(I^{lex})\;where\;I^{lex}$ is a lex-segment ideal associated to I.
