The sequence property for fractal dimensions

Metric Geometry 2026-08-06 v1

Abstract

For various definitions of fractal dimension that are finitely stable, including upper box dimension, upper intermediate dimensions and Assouad spectra, we show that, given a compact subset EE of a metric space, typically RnR^n, there is a convergent sequence of points contained in EE of the same dimension as EE itself. Moreover, under certain conditions it is possible for a sequence to witness the dimension of EE for many definitions of dimension simultaneously, for example in a self-affine set EE there is a single convergent sequence that has the same Assouad spectrum or intermediate dimension values as EE itself.
