The Hausdorff dimension of graphs of prevalent continuous functions

Metric Geometry 2013-07-26 v1 Probability

Abstract

We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of a prevalent continuous function is 2. We also indicate how our results can be extended to the space of continuous functions on [0,1]d[0,1]^d for dNd \in \mathbb{N} and use this to obtain results on the `horizon problem' for fractal surfaces. We begin with a survey of previous results on the dimension of a generic continuous function.
