Large sets avoiding patterns

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We construct subsets of Euclidean space of large Hausdorff dimension and full Minkowski dimension that do not contain nontrivial patterns described by the zero sets of functions. The results are of two types. Given a countable collection of v-variate vector-valued functions fq:(mathbbRn)vomathbbRm satisfying a mild regularity condition, we obtain a subset of mathbbRn of Hausdorff dimension fracmv−1 that avoids the zeros of fq for every q. We also find a set that simultaneously avoids the zero sets of a family of uncountably many functions sharing the same linearization. In contrast with previous work, our construction allows for non-polynomial functions as well as uncountably many patterns. In addition, it highlights the dimensional dependence of the avoiding set on v, the number of input variables.
