Abstract
Let be a Cantor set. In the classical problems, modifying the ``size'' of has a magnified effect on . However, any gain in necessarily results in a loss in , and vice versa. This interplay between and its complement raises interesting questions about the delicate balance between the two, particularly in how it influences the ``size'' of . One of our main results indicates that the Lebesgue measure of has a greatest lower bound of .
