We prove that there is a residual subset of the Gromov-Hausdorff space (i.e. the space of all compact metric spaces up to isometry endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance) whose points enjoy several unexpected properties. In particular, they have zero lower box dimension and infinite upper box dimension.

This paper is mainly concerned with Hausdorff dimensions of Besicovitch-Eggleston subsets in countable symbolic space. A notable point is that, the dimension values posses a universal lower bound depending only on the underlying metric. As a consequence of the main results, we obtain Hausdorff dimension formulas for sets of real numbers with prescribed digit frequencies in their Lüroth expansions.

In this paper we establish an alternative characterization of the completion theory for metric spaces which makes fundamental use of a special type of real valued maps, and we derive alternative descriptions for the completions of both Hausdorff uniform and Hausdorff uniform approach spaces.

We discuss the scaling limit of large planar quadrangulations with a boundary whose length is of order the square root of the number of faces. We consider a sequence (σn) of integers such that σn/ √ 2n tends to some σ ∈ [0,∞]. For every n ≥ 1, we call qn a random map uniformly distributed over the set of all rooted planar quadrangulations with a boundary having n faces and 2σn half-edges on the...

Many authors have been using the Hausdorffmetric to obtain fixed point and coincidence point theorems for multimaps on a metric space. In most cases, the metric nature of the Hausdorff metric is not used and the existence part of theorems can be proved without using the concept of Hausdorff metric under much less stringent conditions on maps. The aim of this paper is to illustrate this and to o...

We explore in depth the theory behind deterministic fractals by investigat­ ing transformations on metric spaces and the contraction mapping theorem. In doing so we introduce the notion of the Hausdorff distance metric and its connection to the space of fractals. In order to understand how deterministic fractals are generated, we develop the concept of an iterated function system (IFS) and what...

In [1] the pseudo-metric dist min on compact subsets A and B of a topological space generated from arbitrary metric space is defined. Using this notion we define the Hausdorff distance (see e.g. [5]) of A and B as a maximum of the two pseudo-distances: from A to B and from B to A. We justify its distance properties. At the end we define some special notions which enable to apply the Hausdorff d...

We show that Bowen’s equation, which characterises the Hausdorff dimension of certain sets in terms of the topological pressure of an expanding conformal map, applies in greater generality than has been heretofore established. In particular, we consider an arbitrary subset Z of a compact metric space and require only that the lower Lyapunov exponents be positive on Z, together with a tempered c...

In [2] the pseudo-metric distmax min on compact subsets A and B of a topological space generated from arbitrary metric space is defined. Using this notion we define the Hausdorff distance (see e.g. [6]) of A and B as a maximum of the two pseudo-distances: from A to B and from B to A. We justify its distance properties. At the end we define some special notions which enable to apply the Hausdorf...

There are two fundamental results in the classical theory of metric Diophantine approximation: Khintchine’s theorem and Jarńık’s theorem. The former relates the size of the set of well approximable numbers, expressed in terms of Lebesgue measure, to the behavior of a certain volume sum. The latter is a Hausdorff measure version of the former. We start by discussing these theorems and show that ...
