      For the family \(f_c=z^2+c\), the Hausdorff dimension \(H_d(f_c)\) of the Julia set of \(f_c\) can be calculated for small \(|c|\) using the formulas \[ \lim_{n\to\infty}A_n(D_H(f_c))=1 \] where \[ A_n(D)=\sum_{z\in\text{Fix} f_c^n}\left|{{df_c^n}\over{dz}}\right|^{-D} \] due to \textit{D. Ruelle} [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 2, 99-107 (1982; Zbl 0506.58024)]. The natural generalization to a non-analytic map \(f\) would be to replace \(|{{df_c^n}\over{dz}}|^{-D}\) in the sum by \(|\det Df^n|^{-D/2}\). The author proves that the formula obtained in this way does not yield the right value of \(D_H(f) \) for the map \(f(z)=z^2+\varepsilon z^*\) (where \(^*\) denotes the complex conjugate).
