Extract

In recent papers on fractals attention has shifted from sets to measures [1, 5, 10]. Thus it seems interesting to know whether results for the dimension of sets remain valid for the dimension of measures. In the present paper we derive estimates for the dimension of product measures. Falconer [3] summarizes known results for sets and Tricot [8] gives a complete description in terms of Hausdorff and packing dimension. Let dim and Dim denote Hausdorff and packing dimension. If then
