1. Introduction
Let and suppose function , where A and f are Borel. Let be the Hausdorff dimension, where is the Hausdorff measure in its dimension on the Borel -algebra.
1.1. Special Case of f
If the graph of f is G, is there an explicit f where:
- (1)
The function
f is everywhere surjective [
1]
- (2)
We denote this special case of f as F explaining, in the next section, why F is pathalogical.
1.2. Attempting to Analyze/Average F
Suppose, the expected value of
f is:
Note, explicit
F is pathological, since it’s everywhere surjective and difficult to meaningfully average (i.e., the most
generalized,
satisfying (
§Section 2) extension of
is non-finite).
Thus, we want the most generalized, satisfying extension of on bounded f, where the extension takes finite values for all F. Moreover, suppose:
- (1)
The sequence of bounded functions is
- (2)
The sequence of bounded functions converges to f: i.e.,
- (3)
The generalized, satisfying extension of is : i.e., there exists a , where is finite
- (4)
-
There exists
where the expected value of
and
are finite and non-equivelant: i.e.,
(Whenever (4) is true, (3) is non-unique.)
Therefore, since
is finite for all
f in a shy [
2] subset of
and (iv) is true for all
f in a prevalent [
2] subset of
,
1.2.1. Blockquote
We want to find an unique,
satisfying (
§Section 3) extension of
, on bounded functions to
f which takes finite values only, such that the set of all
f with this extension forms:
- (1)
a prevalent [
2] subset of
- (2)
If not prevalent then a non-shy (i.e., neither prevalent [
2] nor shy [
2]) subset of
.
For the sake of clarity & precision, we describe examples of “extending
on all
A with positive & finite Hausdorff measure" (
§Section 2) and use the examples to define the terms “unique & satisfying" (
§Section 3) in the blockquote of this section.
2. Extending the Expected Value w.r.t the Hausdorff Measure
The following are two methods to determining the most generalized, satisfying extension of on all A with a positive and finite Hausdorff measure:
- (1)
One way is defining a generalized, satisfying extension of the Hausdorff measure on all
A with positive & finite measure which takes positive, finite values for all Borel
A. This can theoretically be done in the paper “A Multi-Fractal Formalism for New General Fractal Measures"[
3] by taking the expected value of
f w.r.t the extended Hausdorff measure.
- (2)
Another way is finding a
generalized,
satisfying average of all
A in the fractal setting. This can be done with the papers “Analogues of the Lebesgue Density Theorem for Fractal Sets of Reals and Integers" [
4] and “Ratio Geometry, Rigidity and the Scenery Process for Hyperbolic Cantor Sets" [
5] where we take the expected value of
f w.r.t the densities in [
4,
5].
3. Attempt to Define “Unique and Satisfying" in The Blockquote of §Section 1.2
3.1. Note
- (1)
“Sequences of bounded functions converging to
f" (
§Section 5.1)
- (2)
“Equivalent sequences of bounded functions" (
§Section 5.2, def. 1)
- (3)
“Nonequivalent sequences of bounded functions" (
§Section 5.2, def. 2)
- (4)
The “measure" of a property on a sequence of bounded functions which increases at rate
linear or
super-linear to that of “non-equivelant" sequences of bounded functions (§
Section 5.3.1, §
Section 5.3.2)
- (5)
The “actual" rate of expansion on a sequence of bounded sets (§
Section 5.4)
3.2. Leading Question
To define
unique and
satisfying in the blockquote of the
§Section 1.2, we take the expected value of a sequence of bounded functions chosen by a choice function. To find the choice function we ask the
leading question...
If we make sure to:
- (A)
See
Section 3.1 and (C)-(E) when something is unclear
- (B)
Take all sequences of bounded functions which converge to f
- (C)
Define C to be chosen center point of
- (D)
Define E to be the chosen, fixed rate of expansion of a sequence on the graph of bounded functions
- (E)
Define
to be actual rate of expansion of a sequence on the graph of bounded functions (
Section 5.4)
Does there exist a unique choice function which chooses a unique set of equivalent sequences of bounded functions where:
- (1)
The chosen, equivelant sequences of bounded functions should satisfy (B).
- (2)
The “measure" of the graph of all chosen, equivalent sequences of bounded functions which satisfy (B) should increase at a rate linear or superlinear to that of non-equivelant sequences of bounded functions satisfying (B)
- (3)
The expected values, defined in the papers of
§Section 2, for all equivalent sequences of bounded functions are equivalent and finite
- (4)
-
For the chosen, equivalent sequences of bounded functions satisfying (1), (2), and (3).
- (5)
-
When set is the set of all , where the choice function chooses all equivalent sequences of bounded functions satisfying (1), (2), (3) and (4), then Q is
- (a)
a prevelant [
2] subset of
- (b)
If not (a) then a non-shy (i.e., neither prevelant [
2] nor shy [
2]) subset of
.
- (6)
Out of all choice functions which satisfy (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5), we choose the one with the simplest form, meaning for each choice function fully expanded, we take the one with the fewest variables/numbers?
I’m convinced the expected values of the sequences of bounded functions chosen by a choice function which answers the
leading question aren’t
unique nor
satisfying enough to answer the blockquote of
§Section 1.2.1. Still, adjustments are possible by changing the criteria or by adding new criteria to
the question.
4. Question Regarding My Work
Most don’t have time to address everything in my research, hence I ask the following:
Is there a research paper which already solves the ideas I’m working on? (Non-published papers, such as mine [7], don’t count.)
Using AI, papers that might answer this question are “Prediction of dynamical systems from time-delayed measurements with self-intersections" [
8] and “A Hausdorff measure boundary element method for acoustic scattering by fractal screens" [
9].
Does either of these papers solve the blockquote of
Section 1.2.1?
Suppose is a sequence of bounded functions converging to f and is a sequence of the graph of each . Let be the Hausdorff dimension and be the Hausdorff measure in its dimension on the Borel -algebra.
Is there a simpler version of the definitions below?
5.1. Defining Sequences of Bounded Functions Converging to f
The sequence of bounded functions , where and is a sequence of bounded sets, converges to function when:
For any
there exists a sequence
s.t.
and
(see [
10] for info).
5.2. Defining Equivelant and Non-Equivelant Sequences of Bounded Functions
Let
be an arbitrary set and define the following sequence of functions:
Note, the sequences of bounded functions in
converges to
f and the sequences of the graphs of all functions in each former sequence are:
Definition 1 (Equivelant Sequences of functions).
Suppose is an arbitrary set. The sequences of bounded functions in:
are equivalent, if for all , where , and are equivelant: i.e., there exists a , such for all , there is a , where:
and for all , there is a , where:
More, for each , we denote all equivalent sequences of bounded functions tousing the notation
Theorem 1.
If the sequence of functions in:
are equivalent, then for all , where :
Note, this explains criteria (3) in
Section 3
Definition 2 (Non-Equivalent Sequences of functions).
Again, is an arbitrary set. Therefore, all sequences of bounded functions in:
are non-equivalent, if def. 1 is false, meaning for some , where , and are non-equivelant: there is a , where for all , there is either a , where:
or for all , there is a , where
5.3. Defining the “Measure"
5.3.1. Preliminaries
We define the “
measure" of
in
Section 5.3.2, where
is a sequence of the graph of each
. To understand this “measure", continue reading.
- (1)
For every
, “over-cover"
with minimal, pairwise disjoint sets of equal
measure. (We denote the equal measures
, where the former sentence is defined
: i.e.,
enumerates all collections of these sets covering
. In case this step is unclear, see §
8.1.)
- (2)
For every
,
r and
, take a sample point from each set in
. The set of these points is “the sample" which we define
: i.e.,
enumerates all possible samples of
. (If this is unclear, see §
8.2.)
- (3)
-
For every , r, and ,
- (a)
Take a “pathway” of line segments: we start with a line segment from arbitrary point
of
to the sample point with the smallest
-dimensional Euclidean distance to
(i.e., when more than one sample point has the smallest
-dimensional Euclidean distance to
, take either of those points). Next, repeat this process until the “pathway” intersects with every sample point once. (In case this is unclear, see §
8.3.1.)
- (b)
Take the set of the length of all segments in (a), except for lengths that are outliers [
11]. Define this
. (If this is unclear, see
8.3.2.)
- (c)
Multiply remaining lengths in the pathway by a constant so they add up to one (i.e., a probability distribution). This will be denoted
. (In case this is unclear, see §
8.3.3)
- (d)
Take the shannon entropy [
12, p.61-95] of step (c). We define this:
which will be
shortened to
. (If this is unclear, see §
8.3.4.)
- (e)
-
Maximize the entropy w.r.t all "pathways". This we will denote:
(In case this is unclear, see §
8.3.5.)
- (4)
Therefore, the
maximum entropy, using (1) and (2) is:
5.3.2. What Am I Measuring?
Suppose we define two sequences of the graph of the bounded functions converging to the graph of f: e.g., and , where for constant and cardinality
- (a)
Using (2) and (3e) of
Section 5.3.1, suppose:
then (using
) we get
- (b)
Also, using (2) and (3e) of
Section 5.3.1, suppose:
then (using
) we also get:
- (1)
If using
and
we have:
then
what I’m measuring from increases at a rate
superlinear to that of
.
- (2)
If using equations
and
(swapping
and
, in
and
, with
and
) we get:
then
what I’m measuring from increases at a rate
sublinear to that of
.
- (3)
-
If using equations , , , and , we both have:
- (a)
or does not equal zero
- (b)
or does not equal zero
then what I’m measuring from increases at a rate linear to that of .
5.4. Defining The Actual Rate of Expansion of Sequence of Bounded Sets
5.4.1. Definition of Actual Rate of Expansion of Sequence of Bounded Sets
Suppose
is a sequence of bounded functions converging to
f, where
is a sequence of the graph on each
, and
is the Euclidean distance between points
. Therefore, using the “chosen" center point
, when:
the
actual rate of expansion is:
Note, there are cases of when isn’t fixed and (i.e., the chosen, fixed rate of expansion).
6. My Attempt At Answering The Blockquote of §Section 1.2.1
6.1. Choice Function
Suppose we define the following:
- (1)
is the sequence of bounded functions which satisfies (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) of the
leading question in
Section 3.2
- (2)
is all sequences of bounded functions satisfying (1) of the
leading question where the expected values, defined in the papers of
Section 2, is finite.
- (3)
is an element
but
not an element in the set of equivelant sequences of bounded functions to that of
(def. 1), where using the end of def. 1, we represent this criteria as:
6.3. Potential Answer
6.3.1. Preliminaries (Infimum and Supremum of n-dimensional sets Using a Partial Order)
Define the supremum of an n-dimensional set using the partial order , when, ,, and define the infimum of an n-dimensional set using the partial order , when, ,.
Example 1. If , where, and then and
Suppose the geometric mean of point
is:
Thus, using the inf and sup of
n-dim.sets in §
Section 6.3.1 and the “chosen" center point
, when we define
and use
,
,
,
E,
(§
Section 5.4), and
, such that with the absolute value function
and nearest integer function
, we define:
“removing"
,
E, and
T when
, the choice function which answers the
leading question in
Section 3.2 could be the following:
Theorem 2.
where for , we define to be the same as when swapping “" with “" (for eq. 3 & 4) and sets with (for eq. 3–9), then for constant and variable , if:
then for all (def. 1), if:
we choose satisfying eq. 12. (Note, we want , , and to answer the leading question of Section 3.2) where the answer to the blockquote of Section 1.2.1 is (when it exists).
7. Questions
- (1)
- (2)
Using
Section 1.1 and thm. 2, when the function
, does
have a finite value?

If there’s no time to check questions 1 and 2, see
Section 4.
Suppose

Then one example of
, using §
Section 5.3.1 step 1, (where
) is:
Note, the length of each partition is
, where the borders could be approximated as:
which is illustrated using
alternating orange/black lines of equal length covering
(i.e., the black vertical lines are the smallest and largest
x-cooridinates of
).
(Note, the alternating covers in
Figure 1 satisfy step (i) of §
Section 5.3.1, because the Hausdorff measure
in its dimension of the covers is
and there are 9 covers over-covering
: i.e.,
Definition 3 (Minimum Covers of Measure
covering
).
We can compute the minimum covers of , using the formula:
where ).
Figure 1.
The alternating orange & black lines are the “covers" and the vertical lines are the boundaries of .
Figure 1.
The alternating orange & black lines are the “covers" and the vertical lines are the boundaries of .
Note there are other examples of
for different
. Here is another case: which can be defined (see eq.
14 for comparison):
In the case of
, there are uncountable
different covers which can be used. For instance, when
(i.e.,
) consider:
When
and
, we get
Figure 2 and when
and
, we get
Figure 1
Figure 2.
This is similar to
Figure 1, except the start-points of the covers are shifted all the way to the left.
Figure 2.
This is similar to
Figure 1, except the start-points of the covers are shifted all the way to the left.
Suppose:

When defining
: i.e.,
- (3)

- (5)
, using eq.
15 and fig.
Figure 1, which is
approximately
Then, an example of
is:
Below, we illustrate the sample: i.e., the set of all blue points in each orange and black line of covering :
Figure 3.
The blue points are the “sample points", the alternative black and orange lines are the “covers", and the red lines are the smallest & largest x-coordinates .
Figure 3.
The blue points are the “sample points", the alternative black and orange lines are the “covers", and the red lines are the smallest & largest x-coordinates .
Note, there are multiple samples that can be taken, as long as one sample point is taken from each cover in .
Suppose
- (1)

When defining
:
- (3)
- (4)
- (5)
, using eq.
15 and fig.
Figure 1, is approx.
- (6)
, using eq.
20, is:
Therefore, consider the following process:
8.3.1. Step 3a
If
is:
suppose
. Note, the following:
- (1)
is the next point in the “pathway" since it’s a point in with the smallest 2-d Euclidean distance to instead of .
- (2)
is the third point since it’s a point in with the smallest 2-d Euclidean distance to instead of and .
- (3)
is the fourth point since it’s a point in with the smallest 2-d Euclidean distance to instead of , , and .
- (4)
we continue this process, where the “pathway" of is:
Note 3.
If more than one point has the minimum 2-d Euclidean distance from , , , etc. take all potential pathways: e.g., using the sample in eq. 24, if , then since and have the smallest Euclidean distance to , taketwopathways:
8.3.2. Step 3b
Next, take the length of all line segments in each pathway. In other words, suppose
is the
n-th dim.Euclidean distance between points
. Using the pathway in eq.
25, we want:
Whose distances can be approximated as:
Also, we see the outliers [
11] are
and
(i.e., notice that the outliers are more prominent for
). Therefore, remove
and
from our set of lengths:
This is illustrated using:
Figure 4.
The black arrows are the “pathways" whose lengths aren’t outliers. The length of the red arrows in the pathway are outliers.
Figure 4.
The black arrows are the “pathways" whose lengths aren’t outliers. The length of the red arrows in the pathway are outliers.
Hence, when
, using §
Section 5.3.1 step 3b & eq.
24, we note:
8.3.3. Step 3c
To convert the set of distances in eq.
27 into a probability distribution, we take:
Then divide each element in
by 1.35
which gives us the probability distribution:
8.3.4. Step 3d
Take the shannon entropy of eq.
29:
We shorten
to
, giving us:
8.3.5. Step 3e
Take the entropy, w.r.t all pathways, of the sample:
In other words, we’ll compute:
We do this by repeating §
8.3.1-§
8.3.4 for different
(i.e., in the equation with multiple values, see note 3)
Hence, since the largest value out of eq.
