Strict inequality in the box-counting dimension product formulas

Metric Geometry 2010-07-27 v1

Abstract

It is known that the upper box-counting dimension of a Cartesian product satisfies the inequality dimB(F×G)dimB(F)+dimB(G)\dim_{B}\left(F\times G\right)\leq \dim_{B}\left(F\right) + \dim_{B}\left(G\right) whilst the lower box-counting dimension satisfies the inequality dimLB(F×G)dimLB(F)+dimLB(G)\dim_{LB}\left(F\times G\right)\geq \dim_{LB}\left(F\right) + \dim_{LB}\left(G\right). We construct Cantor-like sets to demonstrate that both of these inequalities can be strict.
