Abstract: We investigate differences between upper and lower porosity. In finite dimensional Banach spaces every upper porous set is directionally upper porous. We show the situation is very different for lower porous sets; there exists a lower porous set in the plane which is not even a countable union of directionally lower porous sets.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a metric space. A set \(P\subset X\) is \textit{lower porous} at \(x\in P\) if there exists \(\rho>0\) and \(r_0>0\) such that for every \(0<r<r_0\) there exists \(y\in X\) with \(d(x,y)<r\) and \(B(y,\rho r)\cap P=\emptyset\). If \(X\) is a Banach space, then \(P\subset X\) is \textit{lower porous at \(x\in P\) in direction \(v\in X\)} if the points \(y\) in the definition above can be chosen on the line through \(x\) in direction \(v\). The author constructs a set in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) which is lower porous but not \(\sigma\)-directionally lower porous.

Recommendations

• Upper porous sets which are not \(\sigma\)-lower porous
• On topologies generated by lower porosity
• Upper porous measures on metric spaces
• Sigma-porous sets in products of metric spaces and sigma-directionally porous sets in Banach spaces
• On the Minkowski Dimension of Strongly Porous Fractal Sets in R ⁿ
