Patterns for multigrid equidistributed functions: Application to general parabolas and length estimation

We show that for some special functions (called k-multigrid equidistributed functions), we can compute the limit of the frequency of patterns in the discretization of their graph, when the resolution tends to zero. This result is applied to parabolas. We deduce also that local length estimators almost never converge to the length for the parabolas.
