Extract

The Hausdorff dimension has been used for many years for assessing the sizes of sets in Euclidean and other metric spaces, see, for example, [1,2,5,6,8,10]. However, different sets with the same Hausdorff dimension may have very different characteristics, for example, a straight line segment in ℝ2 and the Cartesian product in ℝ2 of two suitably chosen Cantor sets in ℝ will both have Hausdorff dimension 1. In this paper we develop a measure-theoretic method of distinguishing between the sets of such pairs.
