SOME TYPICAL PROPERTIES OF DIMENSIONS OF SETS AND MEASURES ´ JOZEF MYJAK Received 2 January 2004 This paper contains a review of recent results concerning typical properties of dimensions of sets and dimensions of measures. In particular, we are interested in the Hausdorff di- mension, box dimension, and packing dimension of sets and in the Hausdorff dimension, box dimension, correlation dimension, concentration dimension, and local dimension of measures. 1. Introduction The idea of dimension of sets and measures is fundamental in diverse branches of math- ematics, among other in the theory of measure, in the theory of dynamical system and in the theory of fractals. Various notions of dimension have been proposed: Hausdorff di- mension (undoubtedly the most popular), box dimension, correlation dimension, pack- ing dimension, informatic dimension, entropy, and capacity. All these concepts were widely investigated and used and all of them are rather hard to calculate. The study of typical properties of compact sets has had a long story and ample litera- ture. Many of related results can be found in survey papers by Gruber [9] and Zamfirescu [34, 35, 36]. Here we present some recent results concerning typical properties of dimen- sions of sets and dimensions of measures. Recall that a subset of a metric space X is called of the first Baire category , if it can be represented as a countable union of nowhere dense sets. A subset of a complete metric space is called residual, if its complement is of the first Baire category. If the set of all elements of X satisfying some property P is residual in X , then property P is called generic or typical. We say that an element of X is typical if it has property P . To recall some classical observations concerning typical properties of dimensions of sets, we assume that the space of compact sets is equipped with the Hausdorff distance. From [28] it follows that a typical compact subse
