Abstract

We study the singularity (multifractal) spectrum of the convex hull of the typical/generic continuous functions defined on [0,1]d[0,1]^{d}. We denote by Eφh{\mathbf E}_ { { \varphi } }^{h} the set of points at which φ:[0,1]dR \varphi : [0,1]^d\to {\mathbb R} has a pointwise H\"older exponent equal to hh. Let HfH_{f} be the convex hull of the graph of ff, the concave function on the top of HfH_{f} is denoted by φ1,f(x)=max{y:(x,y)Hf} { { \varphi } }_{1,f}( { { \mathbf x } })=\max \{y:( { { \mathbf x } },y)\in H_{f} \} and φ2,f(x)=min{y:(x,y)Hf} { { \varphi } }_{2,f}( { { \mathbf x } })=\min \{y:( { { \mathbf x } },y)\in H_{f} \} denotes the convex function on the bottom of HfH_{f}. We show that there is a dense GδG_\delta subset GC[0,1]d { { \cal G } } { \subset } {C[0,1]^d} such that for fGf\in { { \cal G } } the following properties are satisfied. For i=1,2i=1,2 the functions φi,f { { { \varphi } }_ {i,f}} and ff coincide only on a set of zero Hausdorff dimension, the functions φi,f { { { \varphi } }_ {i,f}} are continuously differentiable on (0,1)d(0,1)^{d}, Eφi,f0{\mathbf E}_{ { { \varphi } }_{i,f}}^{0} equals the boundary of [0,1]d {[0,1]^d}, dimHEφi,f1=d1\dim_{H}{\mathbf E}_{ { { \varphi } }_{i,f}}^{1}=d-1 , dimHEφi,f+=d\dim_{H}{\mathbf E}_{ { { \varphi } }_{i,f}}^{+ { \infty }}=d and Eφi,fh={\mathbf E}_{ { { \varphi } }_{i,f}}^{h}= { \emptyset } if h(0,+){1}h\in(0,+ { \infty }) { \setminus } \{1 \}.
