Extract

Packing measures have been introduced to complement the theory of Hausdorff measures in [13,14]. (For a new treatment see also [10, Chapter 5]. While Hausdorff measures are intimately connected to upper density estimates (see, e.g., [5,2.10.18]), the importance of packing measures stems from their connection to lower density estimates.
