Abstract

In order to compute the packing dimension of orthogonal projections Falconer and Howroyd [3] have introduced a family of packing dimension profiles Dims that are parametrized by real numbers s > 0. Subsequently, Howroyd [5] introduced alternate s-dimensional packing dimension profiles P-Dims by using Caratheodory-type packing measures, and proved, among many other things, that P-DimsE = DimsE for all integers s > 0 and all analytic sets E ⊆ RN.

The aim of this paper is to prove that P-DimsE = DimsE for all real numbers s > 0 and analytic sets E ⊆ RN. This answers a question of Howroyd [5, p. 159]. Our proof hinges on establishing a new property of fractional Brownian motion.
