A constructive version of Hausdorff dimension is developed using constructive supergales, which are betting strategies that generalize the constructive supermartingales used in the theory of individual random sequences. This constructive…
Let At denote the set of infinite sequences of effective dimension t. We determine both how close and how far an infinite sequence of dimension s can be from one of dimension t, measured using the Besicovitch pseudometric. We also identify…
We study the distribution of sequences of the form $(q_ny)_{n=1}^\infty$, where $(q_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is some increasing sequence of integers. In particular, we study the Lebesgue measure and find bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the set…
Let $\alpha$ be an irrational real number. We show that the set of $\epsilon$-badly approximable numbers \[ \mathrm{Bad}^\varepsilon (\alpha) := \{x\in [0,1]\, : \, \liminf_{|q| \to \infty} |q| \cdot \| q\alpha -x \| \geq \varepsilon \} \]…
We characterize the gauge profile of $\mathcal{D}_s$, the set of reals with effective dimension $s$, and $\mathcal{D}_{\leq s}$, the set of reals with effective dimension $\leq s$. Let $W(s)$ be the set of reals that are $s$-well…
We prove bounds for the almost sure value of the Hausdorff dimension of the limsup set of a sequence of balls in $\mathbf{R}^d$ whose centres are independent, identically distributed random variables. The formulas obtained involve the rate…
We show that if a real $x$ is strongly Hausdorff $h$-random, where $h$ is a dimension function corresponding to a convex order, then it is also random for a continuous probability measure $\mu$ such that the $\mu$-measure of the basic open…
L\"uroth series, like regular continued fractions, provide an interesting identification of real numbers with infinite sequences of integers. These sequences give deep arithmetic and measure-theoretic properties of subsets of numbers…
By applying a 2014 result on the distribution of full cylinders, we give a proof of the useful folklore: for any $\beta>1$, the Hausdorff dimension of an arbitrary set in the shift space $S_\beta$ is equal to the Hausdorff dimension of its…
We establish that constructive continued fraction dimension originally defined using $s$-gales is robust, but surprisingly, that the effective continued fraction dimension and effective (base-$b$) Hausdorff dimension of the same real can be…
The set of badly approximable $m \times n $ matrices is known to have Hausdorff dimension $mn $. Each such matrix comes with its own approximation constant $c$, and one can ask for the dimension of the set of badly approximable matrices…
We calculate the almost sure Hausdorff dimension of uniformly random self-similar fractals. These random fractals are generated from a finite family of similarities, where the linear parts of the mappings are independent uniformly…
Model complexity is an important factor to consider when selecting among graphical models. When all variables are observed, the complexity of a model can be measured by its standard dimension, i.e. the number of independent parameters. When…
We show that the set of numbers that are $Q$-distribution normal but not simply $Q$-ratio normal has full Hausdorff dimension. It is further shown under some conditions that countable intersections of sets of this form still have full…
We consider subsets of the (symbolic) sequence space that are invariant under the action of the semigroup of multiplicative integers. A representative example is the collection of all 0-1 sequences $(x_k)$ such that $x_k x_{2k}=0$ for all…
A set of sequences is said to converge simultaneously if there exists an infinite subset $H$ of the index set $\omega$ such that all sequences converge when restricted to $H$. We discuss simultaneous convergence of sequences in the same or…
Consider all the level sets of a real function. We can group these level sets according to their Hausdorff dimensions. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of the collection of all level sets of a given Hausdorff dimension can be…
In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, effective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set $E\subseteq\R^2$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one,…
We review the motivation and fundamental properties of the Hausdorff dimension of metric spaces and illustrate this with a number of examples, some of which are expected and well-known. We also give examples where the Hausdorff dimension…
Let $k$ be a natural number. We consider $k$-times continuously-differentiable real-valued functions $f:E\to\mathbb{R}$, where $E$ is some interval on the line having positive length. For $0<\alpha<1$ let $I_\alpha(f)$ denote the set of…
