We study the multifractal properties of the uniform approximation exponent and asymptotic approximation exponent in continued fractions. As a corollary, %given a nonnegative reals $\hat{\nu},$ we calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the…
For an infinite iterated function system $\mathbf{f}$ on $[0,1]$ with an attractor $\Lambda(\mathbf{f})$ and for an infinite subset $D\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, consider the set \[ \mathbb E(\mathbf{f},D)= \{ x \in \Lambda(\mathbf{f}):…
We study range spaces, where the ground set consists of either polygonal curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$ or polygonal regions in the plane that may contain holes and the ranges are balls defined by an elastic distance measure, such as the…

We prove that for any proper metric space $X$ and a function $\psi:(0,\infty)\to(0,\infty)$ from a suitable class of approximation functions, the Hausdorff dimensions of the set $W_\psi(Q)$ of all points $\psi$-well-approximable by a…
Approximate a smooth convex body $K$ with nonvanishing curvature by the convex hull of $n$ independent random points sampled from its boundary $\partial K$. In case the points are distributed according to the optimal density, we prove that…
A theoretical approach to computing the Hausdorff dimension of the topological boundary of attractors of iterated function systems is developed. The curve known as the L\'evy Dragon is then studied in detail and the Hausdorff dimension of…
Computing the similarity of two point sets is a ubiquitous task in medical imaging, geometric shape comparison, trajectory analysis, and many more settings. Arguably the most basic distance measure for this task is the Hausdorff distance,…
We compute the Hausdorff dimension of a two-dimensional Weierstrass function, related to lacunary (Hadamard gap) power series, that has no L\'evy area. This is done by interpreting it as a pullback attractor of a dynamical system based on…
The infinite Viterbi alignment is the limiting maximum a-posteriori estimate of the unobserved path in a hidden Markov model as the length of the time horizon grows. For models on state-space $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ satisfying a new…
Motivated by a well-known result in extremal set theory, due to Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn and Paul Erd\H{o}s, we consider curves in the unit $n$-cube $[0,1]^n$ of the form \[ A=\{(x,f_1(x),\ldots,f_{n-2}(x),\alpha): x\in [0,1]\}, \] where…
Let $\theta$ be an irrational number and $\varphi: {\mathbb N} \to {\mathbb R}^{+}$ be a monotone decreasing function tending to zero. Let $$E_\varphi(\theta) =\Big\{y \in \mathbb R: \|n\theta- y\|<\varphi(n), \ {\text{for infinitely…
We prove that a region in a two-dimensional affine subspace of a normed space $V$ has the least 2-dimensional Hausdorff measure among all compact surfaces with the same boundary. Furthermore, the 2-dimensional Hausdorff area density admits…
In this paper, we give a definition of Diophantine points of type $\gamma$ for $\gamma\geq0$ in a homogeneous space $G/\Gamma$, and compute the Hausdorff dimension of the subset of points which are not Diophantine of type $\gamma$ when $G$…
Recently, Adiceam, Beresnevich, Levesley, Velani and Zorin proved a quantitative version of the convergence case of the Khintchine-Groshev theorem for nondegenerate manifolds, motivated by applications to interference alignment. In the…
We show that if $\mathcal{L}$ is a line in the plane containing a badly approximable vector, then almost every point in $\mathcal{L}$ does not admit an improvement in Dirichlet's theorem. Our proof relies on a measure classification result…

This paper considers the question of how to succinctly approximate a multidimensional convex body by a polytope. Given a convex body $K$ of unit diameter in Euclidean $d$-dimensional space (where $d$ is a constant) and an error parameter…
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension (in short, VC-dimension) of a graph is defined as the VC-dimension of the set system induced by the neighborhoods of its vertices. We show that every $n$-vertex graph with bounded VC-dimension contains a…
For 0 < c < 1/e the Julia set of f(z) = c exp(z) is an uncountable union of pairwise disjoint simple curves tending to infinity [Devaney and Krych 1984], the Hausdorff dimension of this set is two [McMullen 1987], but the set of curves…
