Dimension and Dynamics for Fractal Recurrent Sets
Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics 16 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1SB and King's College Research Centre, King's College Cambridge CB2 1ST
The fractal recurrent sets defined by F. M. Dekking are analysed using subshifts of finite type. We show how Dekking's method is related to a construction due to J. Hutchinson, and prove a conjecture of Dekking concerning conditions under which the best general upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension for recurrent sets is actually equal to the Hausdorff dimension.
