Packing dimension profiles and Lévy processes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We extend the concept of packing dimension profiles, due to Falconer and Howroyd (1997) and Howroyd (2001), and use our extension in order to determine the packing dimension of an arbitrary image of a general Levy process.


For a \(\mathbb{R}^d\)-valued Lévy process \(X\) and a Borel subset \(F\subset\mathbb{R}_+\), let \(k_\varepsilon(t):= \mathbb{P}\) \((X(t)\in B(0,\varepsilon))\), NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\overline{\text{Dim}}_k:= \limsup_{\varepsilon\searrow 0}{1\over\log\varepsilon} \log\{\text{inf}\iint k_\varepsilon(|s- t|)\,\nu(ds)\,\nu(dt)\mid \nu(F)= 1,\,\nu(\mathbb{R}\setminus F)= 0\},NEWLINE\]NEWLINE and NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\text{Dim}_k F:= \text{inf}\Biggl\{\sup_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\,\overline{\text{Dim}}_kF_n\mid \bigcup_{n\in\mathbb{N}} F_n= F\Biggr\}.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Then the nice main result is that almost surely, the upper Minkowski dimension of \(X(F)\) equals \(\overline{\text{Dim}}_kF\) and the packing dimension of \(X(F)\) equals \(\text{Dim}_kF\).NEWLINENEWLINE Corollaries are derived, which yield alternative expansions for the various types of dimensions involved (and some other ones, after \textit{K. J. Falconer} and \textit{J. D. Howroyd} [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 121, No. 2, 269--286 (1997; Zbl 0881.28002) and \textit{J. D. Howroyd} [ibid. 130, No. 1, 135--160 (2001; Zbl 1007.28004)]).
