Abstract: Using examples we test formulae previously conjectured to give the fractal information dimension of chaotic repellors and their stable and unstable manifolds in ``typical dynamical systems in terms of the Lyapunov exponents and the characteristic escape time from the repellor. Our main example, a three-dimensional chaotic scattering billiard, yields a new structure for its invariant manifolds. This system also provides an example of a system which is not typical and illustrates how perturbation to the system restores typicality and the applicability of the dimension formulae.

Review text

This paper mainly deals with the study of the fractal dimension of nonattracting chaotic sets and their stable and unstable manifolds. The authors present two examples, one a noninvertible, two-dimensional map with two expanding (positive) Lyapunov exponents, and the other, a chaotic scattering billiard in three spatial dimensions. The last one yields a new structure for its invariant manifold. This system (scattering billiard in 3D) also provides an example of a system which is not typical and illustrates how perturbation of the system restores applicability of the dimension formulae.
