Compact metric spaces form an important class of metric spaces, but the category that they define lacks many important properties such as completeness and cocompleteness. In recent studies of "metric domain theory" and Stone-type dualities,…
We investigate several aspects of the Assouad dimension and the lower dimension, which together form a natural `dimension pair'. In particular, we compute these dimensions for certain classes of self-affine sets and quasi-self-similar sets…
We consider expanding maps such that the unit interval can be represented as a full symbolic shift space with bounded distortion. There are already theorems about the Hausdorff dimension for sets defined by the set of accumulation points…
We study the "Fourier symmetry" of measures and distributions on the circle, in relation with the size of their supports. The main results of this paper are: (1) A one-side extension of Frostman's theorem, which connects the rate of decay…
Consider a set $P$ of $n$ points on the boundary of an axis-aligned square $Q$. We study the boundary-anchored packing problem on $P$ in which the goal is to find a set of interior-disjoint axis-aligned rectangles in $Q$ such that each…
The random packing fraction of binary particles in D-dimensional Euclidean space R^D is studied using a geometric approach. First, the binary packing fraction of assemblies with small size difference are studied, using the excluded volume…
It is shown that for every $\e\in (0,1)$, every compact metric space $(X,d)$ has a compact subset $S\subseteq X$ that embeds into an ultrametric space with distortion $O(1/\e)$, and $$\dim_H(S)\ge (1-\e)\dim_H(X),$$ where $\dim_H(\cdot)$…
The present work surveys problems in $n$-dimensional space with $n$ large. Early development in the study of packing and covering in high dimensions was motivated by the geometry of numbers. Subsequent results, such as the discovery of the…
One often distinguishes between a line and a plane by saying that the former is one-dimensional while the latter is two. But, what does it mean for an object to have $d-$dimensions? Can we define a consistent notion of dimension rigorously…
This document offers a concise introduction to the mathematical theory and practical application of the Hausdorff Measure and Dimension. The primary objective is to clarify and rigorously detail the two most common methods used for…
This paper contains a comparative study of two families of simple curves drawn in the plane. On the one hand, we have the fractal curves on the unit interval, with self-similar structure, which have associated a Hausdorff dimension. On the…
We elaborate on the intimate connection between the largest volume of an empty axis-parallel box in a set of $n$ points from $[0,1]^d$ and cover-free families from the extremal set theory. This connection was discovered in a recent paper of…
Our aim is to find the minimal Hausdorff dimension of the union of scaled and/or rotated copies of the $k$-skeleton of a fixed polytope centered at the points of a given set. For many of these problems, we show that a typical arrangement in…
Consider the integer best approximations of a linear form in $n\ge 2$ real variables. While it is well-known that any tail of this sequence always spans a lattice is sharp for any $n\ge 2$. In this paper, we determine the exact Hausdorff…
Let c=2^aleph0 denote the cardinality of the continuum and let a,b,k be infinite cardinal numbers with a<b\leq 2^a. We show that there exist precisely 2^b T0-spaces of size a and weight b up to homeomorphism. Among these non-homeomorphic…
We study the packing of a large number of congruent and non--overlapping circles inside a regular polygon. We have devised efficient algorithms that allow one to generate configurations of $N$ densely packed circles inside a regular polygon…
A Wasserstein spaces is a metric space of sufficiently concentrated probability measures over a general metric space. The main goal of this paper is to estimate the largeness of Wasserstein spaces, in a sense to be precised. In a first…
We investigate dimension-theoretic properties of concentric topological spheres, which are fractal sets emerging both in pure and applied mathematics. We calculate the box dimension and Assouad spectrum of such collections, and use them to…
In this paper we study properties of complete sets and of completions of sets in Banach spaces. We consider the family of completions of a given set and its size; we also study in detail the relationships concerning diameters, radii, and…
Using the variational principle in parametric geometry of numbers, we compute the Hausdorff and packing dimension of Diophantine sets related to exponents of Diophantine approximation, and their intersections. In particular, we extend a…
