Some dimensional properties of generalised difference sets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2010
Extract
It is well known that Cantor's ternary set C, constructed on [0, 1], has a difference set, D(C), equal to [0, 1]. If E ⊂ R we define Dk(E)(⊂ Rk-1), by Dk(E) = {(d1, d2, …, dk-1); di ≥ 0, and there is x ∈ E such that x + di ∈ E for all i, 1 ≤ i < k}. Thus D2(E) ≡ D(E) and Dk(E) tells us whether or not a particular set of k real numbers can be translated into E. We call Dk(E) the k-difference set of E. In this work we seek criteria for finding the Besicovitch dimension of Dk(E) (written dim Dk(E))) and in particular, conditions on certain classes of linear sets E that ensure that Dk(E) should contain an open interval in Rk-1.
