On the box dimension of an invariant set (Q2707003)

This paper is devoted to the dimension of a general forward invariant set of a \(C^1\)-diffeomorphism in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) where it is only assumed that the diffeomorphism is volume increasing near the forward invariant set. The author gives a simple proof of upper bound for the box dimension of a forward invariant set of a \(C^1\)-diffeomorphism of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) and shows that this result can be extended to the class of \(C^1\)-mappings with finite topological degree. He applies these results to provide estimates for the dimension of the Hénon attractor and Julia sets in two complex variables.
