We show a new method of estimating the Hausdorff measure (of the proper dimension) of a fractal set from below. The method requires computing the subsequent closest return times of a point to itself.

Given a metric space $(X,d_X)$, the earth mover distance between two distributions over $X$ is defined as the minimum cost of a bipartite matching between the two distributions. The doubling dimension of a metric $(X, d_X)$ is the smallest…

The Gromov-Hausdorff distance measures the similarity between two metric spaces by isometrically embedding them into an ambient metric space. We introduce an analogue of this distance for metric spaces endowed with directed structures. The…

An approach is given for estimating the Hausdorff dimension of the univoque set of a self-similar set. This sometimes allows us to get the exact Hausdorff dimensions of the univoque sets.
