Assouad type dimensions and homogeneity of fractals
Abstract
We investigate several aspects of the Assouad dimension and the lower dimension, which together form a natural 'dimension pair'. In particular, we compute these dimensions for certain classes of self-affine sets and quasi-self-similar sets and study their relationships with other notions of dimension, such as the Hausdorff dimension for example. We also investigate some basic properties of these dimensions including their behaviour regarding unions and products and their set theoretic complexity.

Assouad type dimensions and dimension spectra
Yu, Han (University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - ThesisIn the first part of this thesis we introduce a new dimension spectrum motivated by the Assouad dimension; a familiar notion of dimension which, for a given metric space, returns the minimal exponent α ≥ 0 such that for ... -
Assouad dimension influences the box and packing dimensions of orthogonal projections
Falconer, Kenneth John; Fraser, Jonathan; Shmerkin, Pablo (2021) - Journal articleWe present several applications of the Assouad dimension, and the related quasi-Assouad dimension and Assouad spectrum, to the box and packing dimensions of orthogonal projections of sets. For example, we show that if the ... -
The vertical dimensions of the last ice sheet and late quaternary events in northern Ross-shire, Scotland
Reed, William J. (University of St Andrews, 1989) - ThesisDespite more than 100 years of research, surprisingly little is known about the precise dimensions of the last ice sheet in Northern Scotland, though recent work has suggested that it may have been much less ...
