On the Hausdorff h-measure of Cantor sets

Carlos Cabrelli, Franklin Mendivil, Ursula M. Molter and Ronald Shonkwiler

Vol. 217 (2004), No. 1, 45–59
Abstract

We estimate the Hausdorff measure and dimension of Cantor sets in terms of a sequence given by the lengths of the bounded complementary intervals. The results provide the relation between the decay rate of this sequence and the dimension of the associated Cantor set.

It is well-known that not every Cantor set on the line is an s-set for some 0 s 1. However, if the sequence associated to the Cantor set C is nonincreasing, we show that C is an h-set for some continuous, concave dimension function h. We construct the function h from the sequence associated to the set C.
