General Hausdorff functions, and the notion of one-sided measure and dimension (Q2380817)

The author revisited the main facts about Hausdorff and packing measures and dimensions of a Borel set \(E\) by using \textit{determining} set functions \(\phi_{\alpha}\): \({\mathcal B}_E \rightarrow (0,\infty)\), where \({\mathcal B}_E\) is the family of all balls centred on \(E\) and \(\alpha\) is a real parameter. With mild assumptions on \(\phi_{\alpha}\), the author verfied that the main density results hold, as well as the basic properties of the box dimension. Given a bounded open set \(V\) in \(\mathbb{R}^D\), these notations were used to introduce the \textit{interior} and \textit{exterior} measures and dimensions of any Borel subset of \(\partial V\). The author stressed that these dimensions depend on the choice of \(\phi_{\alpha}\). Two determining functions were considered, \(\phi_{\alpha}(B)=\text{Vol}_D(B\cap V)\text{diam}(B)^{\alpha-D}\) and \(\phi_{\alpha}(B)=\text{Vol}_D(B\cap V)^{\alpha/D}\), where \(\text{Vol}_D\) denotes the \(D\)-dimensional volume.
