Abstract
Suppose n ∈ N. We wish to meaningfully average ‘sophisticated’ unbounded sets (i.e., sets with positive n-d Hausdorff measure, in any n-d box of the n-d plane, where the measures don’t equal the area of the boxes). We do this by taking the most generalized, satisfying extension of the expected value, w.r.t the Hausdorff measure in its dimension, on bounded sets which takes finite values only. As of now, I’m unable to solve this due to limited knowledge of advanced math and most people are too busy to help. Therefore, I’m wondering if anyone knows a research paper which solves my doubts. (Unlike previous versions with similar names, we add examples, motivations, and explanations to this version.)

1. Intro

Let n N . Suppose A R n is Borel and U is the set of all unbounded A. Also, dim H ( · ) is the Hausdorff dimension and H dim H ( · ) ( · ) is the Hausdorff measure in its dimension on the Borel σ -algebra.

1.1. First Special Case of A

Suppose the n-dimensional box is B. How do we define explicit A, such that:
1
H n ( A B ) > 0 for all B
2
H n ( A B ) H n ( B ) for all B?
This case of A is called A .

1.1.1. Potential Answer

If n = 1 , using this reddit post [1], define A such that:
Find a set A R , where the cardinality is | · | and 0 < A I < | I | for every interval I, taking its cross product with R to get the set desired.
Construct a subset of [ 0 , 1 ] with this property (then copy and paste the set to get the desired subset A of R ):
Note, we do this by constructing a strange map from [ 0 , 1 ] R . Take a real number x [ 0 , 1 ] , expand that number in binary as 0 . b 0 b 1 b 2 · · · and map the value to the series n = 1 ( 2 ( b n ) 1 ) / n . It’s possible using Khintchine’s inequality [2] (pp. 187-205) to show the sum converges for a.e. x [ 0 , 1 ] . Thus, our desired set A will just consist of those x for which the sum is positive.
The fact this set works is a little bit annoying to prove, but relies on Khintchine’s inequality [2] (pp. 187–205) and the divergence of the Harmonic series. Essentially, we want to show that for any initial seqeuence b 0 , b 1 , · · · , b n of digits there is a positive probability that the final sum is positive and a positive probability that the final sum is negative.
Note, in case there is a research paper which can average A into a finite number, consider the second example.

1.2. Second Special Case of A

Suppose the n-dimensional box is B. Is there an explicit A, such that:
1.
H n ( A B ) > 0 for all B
2.
H n ( A B ) H n ( B ) for all B
3.
For all n-d boxes β B :
(a)
H n ( B β ) > H n ( β ) H n ( A ( B β ) ) < H n ( A β )
(b)
H n ( B β ) < H n ( β ) H n ( A ( B β ) ) > H n ( A β )
(c)
H n ( B β ) = H n ( β ) H n ( A ( B β ) ) H n ( A β ) ?
If so, how do we define it? If not, how do we modify Section 1.2 so the answer is “yes"?
If such a set exists, this case of A is called A . (Note, we haven’t found an example of such a set yet.)

1.3. Attempting to Analyze/Average A

The expected value of A, w.r.t the Hausdorff measure in its dimension, is:
Avg ( A ) = 1 H dim H ( A ) ( A ) A ( x 1 , · · · , x n ) d H dim H ( A )
Nevertheless, we have the following problems:
Note 1 
(Problem 1). When A = A (Section 1.1), Avg ( A ) is undefined.

1.3.1. Explanation of Problem 1

When n = 1 , using Section 1.1 and Section 1.1.1, since  H 1 ( A B ) > 0 for all B, we can see that dim H ( A ) = 1 and H dim H ( A ) ( A ) = + . This makes Avg ( A ) undefined due to division by infinity. (Note, the most obvious extension of Avg ( A ) or A ( A ) is also undefined: i.e., the following is false
( A ( A ) R ) ( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( t N ) t N Avg ( A [ t , t ] ) A ( A ) < ϵ
since H 1 ( A B ) H 1 ( B ) for all B.)
Note 2 
(Problem 2). When U U is the set of all unbounded A with a finite Avg ( A ) , where the cardinality is | · | , then | U | < | U | (i.e., U is “measure zero" in U )

1.3.2. Explanation of Problem 2

Note, unbounded A has a finite mean when all lines of symmetry of A intersect at the same point. Thus, for any sequence of bounded sets ( F r ) r N whose set theoretic limit is A in the former sentence (Section 5.1), observe Avg ( ( F r ) , A )  always exists:
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 H dim H ( F r ) ( F r ) F r ( x 1 , · · · , x n ) d H dim H ( F r ) Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) < ϵ
and has the same value.
Since the cardinality of all unbounded sets with a line of symmetry is c ; the cardinality of all unbounded sets where all lines of symmetry intersect at one point is less than or equal to c . Hence, since the cardinality of all subsets of R n is 2 c ; the cardinality of all unbounded sets where there are no lines of symmetry, or the lines of symmetry intersect at multiple points is 2 c . Hence, since | U | = 2 c and | U | = c , therefore c = | U | < | U | = 2 c , proving problem 2 is correct.
Next, consider the approach to solving problems 1 and 2.

1.3.3. Approach

We want an unique, satisfying extension of the expected value of A, w.r.t the Hausdorff measure in its dimension, on bounded sets to A, which takes finite values only, such that when U U is the set of all unbounded A with this extension:
1.
| U U | < | U | (i.e., U is “almost everywhere" in U )
2.
If (1) isn’t true, then | U | = | U U |

1.3.4. Explanation of Approach

Using Section 1.3.2 Equation (2) on several A, depending on the bounded sequence of sets (i.e., ( F r ) r N ) chosen, we have multiple Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) . Here is an example:
Example 1. 
Suppose A = R 2 . We define bounded sequence of sets ( F r ) r N = ( [ r , r ] × [ r , r ] ) r N and ( F j ) j N = ( [ j + 1 , j + 1 ] × [ j 1 , j 1 ] ) j N whose set theoretic limit is R 2 ( § ) . Note, the center of F r , for all r N , is ( 0 , 0 ) and the center of F j , for all j N , is ( 1 , 1 ) . Thus, Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) = ( 0 , 0 ) and Avg ( ( F j ) , A ) = ( 1 , 1 ) . What’s more, depending on the ( F r ) chosen, Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) can be any point in R 2 (when it exists).

1.4. Question

Is there a unique way to define “satisfying" & “extension" in the approach of Section 1.3.3, which solves problems 1 and 2 with applications?
For an example, keep reading.

2. Extending the Expected Value of A w.r.t the Hausdorff Measure

The following are two methods to finding the most generalized, satisfying extension of Avg ( A ) in Equation (1) which we later use to answer the question in Section 1.4:
  • 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], where in Equation (1) we replace the Hausdorff measure with the extended Hausdorff measure.
  • Another way is finding 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 A w.r.t the densities in [4,5].
Note, neither approach answers Section 1.4 since they can’t solve problems 1 and 2 (i.e., U is the set of all unbounded A). Therefore, we ask a leading question using § to guide the reader to an interesting solution to Section 1.4.

3. Attempt to Define “Unique and Satisfying" in The Approach of Section 1.3

3.1. Note

Before reading, when Section 3.2 is unclear, see Section 5 for clarity. In Section 5, we define:
  • “Set theoretic limit" (Section 5.1)
  • “Expected value on sequences of bounded sets" (Section 5.2)
  • “Equivelant sequences of bounded sets" (Section 5.3, Definition 1)
  • “Nonequivelant sequences of bounded sets" (Section 5.3, Definition 2)
  • The “measure" on a sequence of bounded sets which increases at a rate linear or superlinear to that of “non-equivelant" sequences of bounded sets (Section 5.4.1, Section 5.4.2)
  • The “actual" rate of expansion on a sequence of bounded sets (Section 5.5)

3.2. Leading Question

To define unique and satisfying inside the approach of Section 1.3, we take the expected value of a sequence of bounded sets 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 sets whose “set theoretic limit" is A
(C)
Define C to be chosen center point of R n
(D)
Define E to be the chosen, fixed rate of expansion of a sequence of bounded sets
(E)
Define E to be actual rate of expansion of a sequence of bounded sets (Section 5.5)
Does there exist a unique choice function which chooses the set of all equivalent sequences of bounded sets where:
1.
The chosen, equivelant sequences of bounded sets should satisfy (B).
2.
The “measure" of all the chosen, equivalent sequences of bounded sets which satisfy (1) should increase at a rate linear or superlinear to that of non-equivalent sequences of bounded sets satisfying (B).
3.
The expected values, defined in the papers of Section 2, for all equivalent sequences of bounded sets are equivalent and finite
4.
For the chosen, equivalent sequences of bounded sets satisfying (1), (2), and (3).
  • The n-d Euclidean distance between criteria (3) and C is the less than or equal to that of all the non-equivalent sequences of bounded sets satisfying (1), (2), and (3)
  • The “rate of divergence" [6] (pp. 275–322) of E E , using the absolute value | | · | | , is less than or equal to that of all the non-equivalent sequences of bounded sets which satisfy (1), (2), and (3)
5.
When set U U is the set of all unbounded A, where the choice function chooses the set of all equivalent sequences of bounded sets satisfying (1), (2), (3) and (4), then:
  • | U U | < | U |
  • When | U U | ¬ < | U | , then | U | = | U U |
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?
(In case this is unclear, see Section 5.)

3.2.1. Explaining Motivation Behind Section 3.2

1.
When defining “the measure" (Section 5.4.1, Section 5.4.2) of an unbounded set, we want a set with a “high" entropic density (i.e., we aren’t sure if this is infact what the “measure" measures.) For example, when A = R 2 , the “measure" mostly chooses bounded sequences of symmetrical shapes whose lines of symmetry intersect at one point rather than non-symmetrical shapes  Section 5.4.1-Section 6, Section 8.
2.
Using ex. 1, when A = R 2 , depending on the bounded sequence of sets ( F r ) r N chosen with a set theoretic limit of A: Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) can be any point in R 2 (when it exists). To fix this, we take all ( F r ) r N , where Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) has the smallest n-d Euclidean distance from a reference point (i.e., the center point C R n ). The problem is there exists A, where the average of non-equivalent sequences (Section 5.3, Definition 2) of bounded sets have the same minimum Euclidean distance from C.
3.
Hence, we take the sequence of sets whose actual rate of expansion E from C (Section 5.5) “diverges" [6] (pp. 275-322) at the smallest rate from the chosen, fixed rate of expansion E from C (i.e., the “rate of divergence of E E , using the absolute value | | · | | , is less than or equal to that of all the non-equivalent sequences of bounded sets which satisfy Section 3.2 criteria (1), (2), and (3)).
4.
Finally, since there might still be non-equivalent sequences (Section 5.3, Definition 2) of bounded sets which satisfy Section 3.2.1 criteria (1), (2) and (3), but are congruent with different Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) , we use equation T in Section 6.3 Equation (115) to choose a unique set of all equivalent sequences of bounded sets with the same expected value.
I’m convinced the expected values of the sequences of bounded sets chosen by a choice function which answers the leading question aren’t unique nor satisfying enough to answer problems 1 and 2. Still, adjustments are possible by changing the criteria or by adding new criteria to Section 3.2.

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 problems 1 and 2 with applications?

5. Clarifying Section 3

Let A R n be an unbounded, Borel set. Suppose dim H ( · ) be the Hausdorff dimension and H dim H ( · ) ( · ) be the Hausdorff measure in its dimension on the Borel σ -algebra. See Section 3.2, once reading this section, and consider the following:
Is there a simpler version of the definitions below?

5.1. Set Theoretic Limit of a Sequence of Bounded Sets

Note the set theoretic limit of a sequence of sets of bounded set ( F r ) r N is A when:
lim sup r F r = r 1 q r F q lim inf r F r = r 1 q r F q
where:
lim sup r F r = lim inf r F r = A
Example 2. 
Using example 1, when A = R , define bounded sequence of sets ( F r ) r N = ( [ r , r ] ) r N and ( F j ) j N = ( [ j 1 , j 1 ] ) j N . Notice, the set theoretic limit of the bounded of sequence of sets using Section 5.1 is R . I don’t know how to prove this, but I assume readers should be able to verify whether I am correct.

5.2. Expected Value of Bounded Sequences of Sets

If ( F r ) r N is a sequence of bounded sets whose set-theoretic limit is A (Section 5.1), the expected value of A w.r.t ( F r ) r N is Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) (when it exists) where:
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 H dim H ( F r ) ( F r ) F r ( x 1 , · · · , x n ) d H dim H ( F r ) Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) < ϵ
Note, Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) can be extended by using Section 2.

5.2.1. Example 1

Using example 2, suppose A = R , ( F r ) r N = ( [ r , r ] ) r N , and Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) = 0 . Note:
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 H dim H ( F r ) ( F r ) F r ( x 1 , · · · , x n ) d H dim H ( F r ) Avg ( ( F r ) , A ) < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 H dim H ( [ r , r ] ) ( [ r , r ] ) [ r , r ] x 1 d H dim H ( [ r , r ] ) 0 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 H 1 ( [ r , r ] ) [ r , r ] x 1 d H 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 2 r r r x 1 d x 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 2 r 1 2 x 1 2 r r < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 2 r 1 2 r 2 1 2 ( r ) 2 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 2 r 1 2 r 2 1 2 r 2 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 1 2 r 0 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( r N ) r N 0 < ϵ
Since Equation (12) is true, Avg ( F r , A ) = 0

5.2.2. Example 2

Using example 2, suppose A = R , ( F j ) j N = ( [ j 1 , j 1 ] ) j N , and Avg ( F j , A ) = 1 . Note:
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 H dim H ( F j ) ( F j ) F j ( x 1 , · · · , x n ) d H dim H ( F j ) Avg ( ( F j ) , A ) < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 H dim H ( [ j 1 , j 1 ] ) ( [ j 1 , j 1 ] ) [ j 1 , j 1 ] x 1 d H dim H ( [ j 1 , j 1 ] ) ( 1 ) < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 H 1 ( [ j 1 , j 1 ] ) [ j 1 , j 1 ] x 1 d H 1 + 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 ( j 1 ) ( j 1 ) j 1 j 1 x 1 d x 1 + 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 j + j 1 + 1 1 2 x 1 2 j 1 j 1 + 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 2 j 1 2 ( j 1 ) 2 1 2 ( j 1 ) 2 + 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 2 j 1 2 ( j 1 ) 2 1 2 ( j + 1 ) 2 + 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 2 j 1 2 ( j 2 2 j + 1 ) 1 2 ( j 2 + 2 j + 1 ) + 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 2 j 1 2 j 2 j + 1 2 1 2 j 2 j 1 2 + 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 2 j 2 j + 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 1 + 1 < ϵ =
( ϵ > 0 ) ( N N ) ( j N ) j N 0 < ϵ =
Since Equation (24) is true, Avg ( ( F j ) , A ) = 1 .

5.3. Defining Equivelant and Non-Equivelant Sequences of Bounded Functions

The sequences below are sequences of sets with a set theoretic limit (Section 5.1) of A:
F 1 = ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) r 1 N , F 2 = ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) r 2 N , · · · , F s = ( F r s ( s ) ) r s N
Thus, we define:
Definition 1 
(Equivelant Sequences of Bounded Sets). Suppose, S N is an arbitrary set. Note, the sequences of bounded sets in:
F s : s S
are equivalent, if for all k , v S , where k v , F k and F v are equivelant: i.e., there exists a N N , such for all r k N , there is a r v N , where:
H dim H ( F r k ( k ) ) ( F r k ( k ) Δ F r v ( v ) ) = 0
and for all r v N , there is a r k N , where:
H dim H ( F r v ( v ) ) ( F r k ( k ) Δ F r v ( v ) ) = 0
More, for each s N , we denote all equivalent sequences of bounded functions to ( F r s ( s ) ) r s N using the notation
( F r s ( s ) ) r s N

5.3.1. Explanation

We define F k and F v as equivalent, then for all sets A R n , when either Avg ( ( F r k ( k ) ) , A ) or Avg ( ( F r v ( v ) ) , A ) exist (Section 5.2):
Avg ( ( F r k ( k ) ) , A ) = Avg ( ( F r v ( v ) ) , A )
Hence, consider the following:
Theorem 3. 
If the sequence of sets in:
F s : s S
are equivalent, then for all k , v S , where k v (Section 5.2):
Avg ( ( F r k ( k ) ) , A ) = Avg ( ( F r v ( v ) ) , A )
Below, is an example of an equivalent sequence of bounded sets:

5.3.2. Example of Equivalent Sequences of Bounded Sets

Suppose
F 1 = ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) r 1 N = [ r 1 2 , r 1 + 2 ] r 1 N
F 2 = ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) r 2 N = [ r 2 , r 2 ] ( Q [ r 2 1 , r 2 + 1 ] ) r 2 N
Note, using Definition 1, S = { 1 , 2 } , k = 1 , and v = 2 . In other words, r k = r 1 and r v = r 2 . Now, suppose N = 3 , where r 1 N and r 2 N . Then,
1.
For all r 1 N = 3 , there exists a 5 r 2 = : r 1 + 2 N , where:
H dim H ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) ( F r 1 ( 1 ) Δ F r 2 ( 2 ) ) = 0
We show this with the following:
In Equation (25), since F r 1 ( 1 ) = [ r 1 2 , r 1 + 2 ] is a 1-d interval, dim H ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) = 1 . Hence,
H 1 ( [ r 1 2 , r 1 + 2 ] Δ ( [ r 2 , r 2 ] ( Q [ r 2 1 , r 2 + 1 ] ) ) ) =
H 1 ( [ r 1 2 , r 1 + 2 ] Δ ( [ ( r 1 + 2 ) , ( r 1 + 2 ) ] ( Q [ ( r 1 + 2 ) 1 , ( r 1 + 2 ) + 1 ] ) ) =
H 1 ( [ r 1 2 , r 1 + 2 ] Δ ( [ ( r 1 + 2 ) , ( r 1 + 2 ) ] ( Q [ r 1 3 , r 1 + 3 ] ) ) =
H 1 ( Q ( [ r 1 + 2 , r 1 + 3 ] ) ( Q [ r 1 3 , r 1 2 ] ) ) =
0
We also show:
2.
For all r 2 N = 3 , there exists a 1 r 2 2 = : r 1 N , where:
H dim H ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) ( F r 1 ( 1 ) Δ F r 2 ( 2 ) ) = 0
We show this with the following:
In Equation (31), since dim H ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) = dim H ( [ r 2 , r 2 ] ( Q [ r 2 1 , r 2 + 1 ] ) ) = 1 :
H 1 ( [ r 1 2 , r 1 + 2 ] Δ ( [ r 2 , r 2 ] ( Q [ r 2 1 , r 2 + 1 ] ) ) ) =
H 1 ( [ ( r 2 2 ) 2 , ( r 2 2 ) + 2 ] Δ ( [ r 2 , r 2 ] ( Q [ r 2 1 , r 2 + 1 ] ) ) =
H 1 ( [ r 2 , r 2 ] Δ ( [ r 2 , r 2 ] ( Q [ r 2 1 , r 2 + 1 ] ) ) =
H 1 ( ( Q [ r 2 1 , r 2 ] ) ( Q [ r 2 , r 2 + 1 ] ) ) =
0
Since crit. (1) and (2) is true, using Definition 1, we have shown F 1 = ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) r 1 N = [ r 1 2 , r 1 + 2 ] r 1 N and F 2 = ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) r 2 N = [ r 2 , r 2 ] ( Q [ r 2 1 , r 2 + 1 ] ) r 2 N are equivalent.
Note, there exists zero sets A R n , where Avg ( ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) , A ) and Avg ( ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) , A ) have different values.
Definition 2 
(Non-Equivalent Sequences of Bounded Sets). Again, suppose S N is an arbitrary set. Then, the sequences of bounded sets in:
F s : s S
are non-equivalent, if Definition 1 is false, meaning for some k , v S , where k v , F k and F v are non-equivelant: there is a N N , where for all r k N , there is either a r v N , where:
H dim H ( F r k ( k ) ) ( F r k ( k ) Δ F r v ( v ) ) 0
or for all r v N , there is a r k N , where
H dim H ( F r v ( v ) ) ( F r k ( k ) Δ F r v ( v ) ) 0

5.3.3. Explanation

We define F k and F v as non-equivalent, then there exists a set A R n , such that when Avg ( ( F r k ( k ) ) , A ) or Avg ( ( F r v ( v ) ) , A ) exist (Section 5.2):
Avg ( ( F r k ( k ) ) , A ) Avg ( ( F r v ( v ) ) , A )
Hence, consider the following:

5.3.4. Example of Non-Equivalent Sequences of Bounded Sets

Suppose
F 1 = ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) r 1 N = [ r 1 , r 1 ] r 1 N
F 2 = ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) r 2 N = [ 2 r 2 , 2 r 2 ] r 2 N
Note, using Definition 1, S = { 1 , 2 } , k = 1 , and v = 2 . In other words, r k = r 1 and r v = r 2 . Now, suppose N : = 1 , where r 1 N and r 2 N . Then,
1.
For all r 2 N = 1 , there exists a 3 2 r 2 + 1 = : r 2 N , where:
H dim H ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) ( F r 1 ( 1 ) Δ F r 2 ( 2 ) ) 0
We show this with the following:
Since F r 2 ( 2 ) = [ 2 r 2 , 2 r 2 ] is a 1-d interval, dim H ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) = 1 . Hence:
H 1 ( [ r 1 , r 1 ] Δ [ 2 r 2 , 2 r 2 ] ) =
H 1 ( [ ( 2 r 2 + 1 ) , 2 r 2 + 1 ] Δ [ 2 r 2 , 2 r 2 ] ) =
H 1 ( [ 2 r 2 1 , 2 r 2 + 1 ] Δ [ 2 r 2 , 2 r 2 ] ) =
H 1 ( [ 2 r 2 1 , 2 r 2 + 1 ] Δ [ 2 r 2 , 2 r 2 ] ) =
H 1 ( [ 2 r 2 1 , 2 r 2 ] [ 2 r 2 , 2 r 2 + 1 ] ) =
1 + 1 0

5.3.5. Question

When:
F 1 = ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) r 1 N = [ r 1 , r 1 ] r 1 N
F 2 = ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) r 2 N = [ 2 r 2 , 2 r 2 ] r 2 N
How do we find A, where Avg ( ( F r 1 ( 1 ) ) , A ) Avg ( ( F r 2 ( 2 ) ) , A ) (Section 5.2)?
I remember finding such a set in one of my previous papers, but I’m now unable to find it.

We define the “measure" of ( F r ) r N in Section 5.4.2. To understand this “measure", keep reading. (In case the steps are unclear, see Section 8 for examples.)
1.
For every r N , “over-cover" F r with minimal, pairwise disjoint sets of equal H dim H ( F r ) measure. (We denote the equal measures ε , where the former sentence is defined C ( ε , F r , ω ) : i.e., ω Ω ε , r enumerates all collections of these sets covering F r . In case this step is unclear, see Section 8.1.)
2.
For every ε , r and ω , take a sample point from each set in C ( ε , F r , ω ) . The set of these points is “the sample" which we define S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) : i.e., ψ Ψ ε , r , ω enumerates all possible samples of C ( ε , F r , ω ) . (In the case this is unclear, see Section 8.2.)
3.
For every ε , r, ω and ψ ,
(a)
Take a “pathway” of line segments: we start with a line segment from arbitrary point x 0 of S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) to the sample point with smallest n-dimensional Euclidean distance to x 0 (i.e., when more than one sample point has smallest n-dimensional Euclidean distance to x 0 , take either of those points). Next, repeat this process until the “pathway” intersects with every sample point once. (If this is unclear, see Section 8.3.1.)
(b)
Take the set of the length of all segments in (3a), except for lengths that are outliers [10] (i.e., for any constant C > 0 , the outliers are more than C times the interquartile range of the length of all line segments as r ). Define this L ( x 0 , S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) . (In the case this is unclear, see Section 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 P ( L ( x 0 , S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) . (In case this step is unclear, see Appendix 8.3.3.)
(d)
Take the shannon entropy [11] (pp. 61-95) of step (3c). We define this:
E ( P ( L ( x 0 , S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) ) = x P ( L ( x 0 , S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) x log 2 x
which will be shortened to E ( L ( x 0 , S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) . (In case this is unclear, see Section 8.3.4)
(e)
Maximize the entropy w.r.t all "pathways". This we will denote:
E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) = sup x 0 S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) E ( L ( x 0 , S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) )
(In case this step is unclear, see Section 8.3.5.)
4.
Therefore, the maximum entropy of ( F r ) r N w.r.t ε , using (1) and (2) is:
E max ( ε , r ) = sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) )

5.4.2. What Am I Measuring?

Suppose we define two sequences of bounded functions which have a set theoretic limit of A: e.g., ( F r ) r N and ( F j ) j N , where for constant ε and cardinality | · |
(a)
Using (2) and (33e) of Section 5.4.1, suppose:
S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ = sup S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) )
then (using S ( C ( ϵ , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ ) we get
α ̲ ε , r , ω , ψ = S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ / S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) )
(b)
Also, using (2) and (33e) of Section 5.4.1, suppose:
S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ¯ = inf S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) )
then (using S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ¯ ) we also get:
α ¯ ε , r , ω , ψ = S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ¯ / S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) )
1.
If using α ¯ ϵ , r , ω , ψ and α ̲ ϵ , r , ω , ψ we have:
1 < lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ¯ ε , r , ω , ψ , lim inf ε 0 lim inf r inf ω Ω ε , r inf ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ̲ ε , r , ω , ψ < +
then what I’m measuring from  ( F r ) r N increases at a rate superlinear to that of ( F j ) j N .
2.
If using equations α ¯ ε , j , ω , ψ and α ̲ ε , j , ω , ψ (where we swap ( F r ) r N and r N , in α ¯ ϵ , r , ω , ψ and α ̲ ϵ , r , ω , ψ , with ( F j ) j N and j N ) we get:
1 < lim sup ε 0 lim sup j sup ω Ω ε , j sup ψ Ψ ε , j , ω α ¯ ε , j , ω , ψ , lim inf ε 0 lim inf j inf ω Ω ε , j inf ψ Ψ ε , j , ω α ̲ ε , j , ω , ψ < +
then what I’m measuring from  ( F r ) r N increases at a rate sublinear to that of ( F j ) j N .  
3.
If using equations α ¯ ε , r , ω , ψ , α ̲ ε , r , ω , ψ , α ¯ ε , j , ω , ψ , and α ̲ ε , j , ω , ψ , we both have:
(a)
lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ¯ ε , r , ω , ψ or lim inf ε 0 lim inf r inf ω Ω ε , r inf ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ̲ ε , r , ω , ψ are equal to zero, one or +
(b)
lim sup ε 0 lim sup j sup ω Ω ε , j sup ψ Ψ ε , j , ω α ¯ ε , j , ω , ψ or lim inf ε 0 lim inf j inf ω Ω ε , j inf ψ Ψ ε , j , ω α ̲ ε , j , ω , ψ are equal to zero, one or +
then what I’m measuring from  ( F r ) r N increases at a rate linear to that of ( F j ) j N .
Now consider the following examples:

5.4.3. Example of the “measure" of ( F r ) converging super-linearly to that of ( F j )

Using Section 5.4.2 consider the following:
Note 4. 
Recall, if dim H ( F r ) = 2 :
  • When · is the cardinality, for all ω Ω ε , r and ψ Ψ ε , r , ω , S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) = Area ( F r ) / ε  
  • For all ω Ω ε , r and ψ Ψ ε , r , ω , the largest E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) can be is
    log 2 ( Area ( F r ) / ε 1 ) = log 2 ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) 1 )
Now consider:
  • ( F r ) r N = x 2 + y 2 = 6 r 2 r N  
  • ( F j ) j N = x 2 / ( 9 j 2 ) + y 2 / ( 4 j 2 ) = 1 j N
where:
Note 5. 
The area of F r and F j are:
  • Area ( F r ) = π ( 6 r ) 2 = 6 π r 2  
  • Area ( F j ) = 3 j · 2 j · π = 6 π j 2
Hence, we maximize E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) by doing the following:
Note 6 
(Procedure to Maximize E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) ). Consider the procedure below:
1.
Cover the circle, with the same or larger-sized circle, which can be divided into minimum t “pie-slices" of equal area ε > 0 . Notice, t = Area ( F r ) / ε = ( 6 π r 2 ) / ε .
2.
Take the centroid of each slice
3.
Out of all centroids in step 2, take the centroid with the largest x-coordinate: i.e., denote this point x 0 which is the start-point of the pathway of line segments in the resulting step
4.
Take the distances between all pairs of consecutive centroids, starting with x 0 , rotating counter-clockwise or clockwise. Either-way, the end result should change by only a negligible amount.
5.
Multiply the distances by a constant so they add up to 1 (i.e., a probability distribution)
6.
Take the shannon entropy of the distribution using log base 2 in Section 5.4.1 (33d)-(33e). (Note, since the “pie-slices" of step 1 are congruent and the distances of step 4 are equal, the entropy of the distribution is the largest possible amount (i.e., note 4 crit. 2 & note 5 crit. 1):
log 2 ( Area ( F r ) / ε 1 ) = log 2 ( ( 6 π r 2 ) / ε 1 )
Repeat, steps 1-6 with ( F j ) , where the circle is an ellipse (i.e., with this case the “pie-slices" of step 1 are non-congruent and the distances of step 4 are non-equivelant). Hence, we use programming:

Note, the output of ratiotable in code 4 can be written as:
. 005 ( j 2 ) + . 006
. 005 j . 01 + . 006
. 005 j . 004
and is the same as:
log 2 6 j 2 π ε 1 E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) log 2 6 j 2 π ε 1 log 2 6 ( j 1 ) 2 π ε 1
Hence, with:

we solve for E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) :
log 2 6 j 2 π / ε 1 E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) log 2 6 j 2 π / ε 1 6 ( j 1 ) 2 π / ε 1 . 005 j . 004

since:
lim j ( . 005 j . 004 ) log 2 6 j 2 π / ε 1 6 ( j 1 ) 2 π / ε 1 . 014427 for ε > 0

Note, using Section 5.4.2 (0a) and Section 5.4.2 (1), take S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) = ( 6 π r 2 ) / ε to compute the following:
S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ = sup S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) = sup 6 j 2 π / ε : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) . 014427 log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 ) =
where:
  • For every r N , we find a j N , where log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) . 014427 log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 ) , but the absolute value of log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 ) ( log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) . 014427 ) is minimized. In other words, for every r N , we want j N where:
    log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) . 014427 log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 )
    log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 ) + . 014427
    2 log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) 2 log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 ) + . 014427
    6 j 2 π / ε 1 6 r 2 π / ε 1 2 . 014427
    6 j 2 π / ε 1.0101 6 r 2 π / ε 1 + 1 ]
    6 j 2 π / ε = 1.0101 6 r 2 π / ε 1 + 1 S ( C ( 1 , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲
Finally, since S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) = log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 ) , we wish to prove
1 < lim inf ε 0 lim inf r inf ω Ω ε , r inf ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ̲ ε , r , ω , ψ < +
within Section 5.4.2 crit. 1:
lim inf ε 0 lim inf r inf ω Ω ε , r inf ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ̲ ε , r , ω , ψ = lim inf ε 0 lim inf r inf ω Ω ε , r inf ψ Ψ ε , r , ω S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ S ( C ( 1 , F r , ω ) , ψ ) )
= lim ε 0 lim r 1.0101 6 r 2 π / ε 1 + 1 6 r 2 π / ε
where using mathematica, we get the limit is greater than one:
Preprints 121252 i003
Also, using Section 5.4.2 (0b) and Section 5.4.2 (1), take S ( C ( ε , G j , ω ) , ψ ) = 6 j 2 π / ε and use 4 crit. 2 to compute the following:
S ( C ( ε , G r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ = inf S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) = inf 3 π 2 j 2 : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) . 014427 log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε ) =
where:
  • For every r N , we find a j N , where log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) . 014427 log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε ) , but the absolute value of log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) . 014427 log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε ) is minimized. In other words,
    for every r N , we want j N where:
    log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) . 014427 log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 )
    log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 ) + . 014427
    2 log 2 ( 6 j 2 π / ε 1 ) 2 log 2 ( 6 r 2 π / ε 1 ) + . 014427
    6 j 2 π / ε 1 6 r 2 π / ε 1 2 . 014427
    6 j 2 π / ε 1.0101 6 r 2 π / ε 1 + 1 ]
    6 j 2 π / ε = 1.0101 6 r 2 π / ε 1 + 1 S ( C ( 1 , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲
Finally, since S ( C ( 1 , F r , ω ) , ψ ) = 6 π r 2 / ε , we wish to prove
1 < lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ¯ ε , r , ω , ψ < +
within Section 5.4.2 crit. 1:
lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ¯ ε , r , ω , ψ = lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω S ( C ( 1 , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ¯ S ( C ( 1 , F r , ω ) , ψ ) )
= lim ε 0 lim r 1.0101 6 r 2 π / ε 1 + 1 6 r 2 π / ε
where using mathematica, we get the limit is greater than one:
Preprints 121252 i004
Hence, since the limits in Equation (62) and (71) are greater than one and less than + : i.e.,
1 < lim inf ε 0 lim inf r inf ω Ω ε , r inf ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ̲ ε , r , ω , ψ , lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ¯ ε , r , ω , ψ < +
we have proven what we’re measuring from  ( G r ) r N increases at a rate superlinear to that of ( G j ) j N (i.e., Section 5.4.2 crit. 1).

5.4.4. Example of The “Measure" from ( F r ) r N Increasing at a Rate Sub-Linear to that of ( F j ) j N

Using our previous example, we can use the following theorem:
Theorem 7. 
If what we’re measuring from ( F r ) r N increases at a rate superlinear to that of ( F j ) j N , then what we’re measuring from ( F j ) r N increases at a rate sublinear to that of ( F r ) r N
Hence, in our definition of super-linear (Section 5.4.2 crit. 1), swap F r and r N for ( F j ) and j N within α ¯ ϵ , r , ω , ψ and α ̲ ϵ , r , ω , ψ (i.e., α ¯ ϵ , j , ω , ψ and α ̲ ϵ , j , ω , ψ ). Notice, Theorem 7 is true when:
1 < lim sup ε 0 lim sup j sup ω Ω ε , j sup ψ Ψ ε , j , ω α ¯ ε , j , ω , ψ , lim inf ε 0 lim inf j inf ω Ω ε , j inf ψ Ψ ε , j , ω α ̲ ε , j , ω , ψ < +

5.4.5. Example of the “measure" of ( F r ) converging linearly to that of ( F j )

Using Section 5.4.2 consider the following:
Note 8. 
Recall, if dim H ( F r ) = 2 :
  • When · is the cardinality, for all ω Ω ε , r and ψ Ψ ε , r , ω , S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) = Area ( F r ) / ε  
  • For all ω Ω ε , r and ψ Ψ ε , r , ω , the largest E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) can be is
    log 2 ( Area ( F r ) / ε 1 ) = log 2 ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) 1 )
Now consider:
  • ( F r ) r N = ( [ r , r ] × [ r , r ] ) r N  
  • ( F j ) j N = ( [ j 2 , j 2 ] × [ j 2 , j 2 ] ) j N
where:
Note 9. 
The area of F r and F j is:
  • Area ( F r ) = ( r ( r ) ) · ( r ( r ) ) = 2 r · 2 r = 4 r 2  
  • Area ( F j ) = ( j 2 ( j 2 ) ) · ( j 2 ( j 2 ) ) = 2 j 2 · 2 j 2 = 4 j 4
Notice, since F r is a square, using note 8 crit. (2) and note 9 crit. (1), it’s simple to see:
E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) = log 2 ( Area ( F r ) / ε 1 ) = log 2 ( 4 r 2 / ε 1 )
Hence, using Section 5.4.2 (0a) and note 8 crit. (2):
S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ = sup S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) = sup S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) log 2 ( 4 r 2 / ε 1 ) =
Note, since F j is also a square, for all ω Ω ε , j and ψ Ψ ε , j , ω
0 < E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) log 2 ( Area ( F j ) / ε 1 ) = log 2 ( 4 j 4 / ε 1 )
Thus, using Equations (73) and (74):
  • For every r N , we find a j N , where log 2 ( 4 j 4 / ε 1 ) log 2 ( 4 r 2 / ε 1 ) , but the absolute value of log 2 ( 4 r 2 / ε 1 ) log 2 ( 4 j 4 / ε 1 ) is minimized. In other words, for every r N , we want j N where:
    log 2 ( 4 j 4 / ε 1 ) log 2 ( 4 r 2 / ε 1 )
    4 j 4 4 r 2
    j 4 r 2
    j r
    j = r
    4 j 4 / ε = 4 r 4 / ε
    4 j 4 / ε = 4 r 4 / ε
               which gives:
4 r 4 / ε sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ 4 r 2 / ε
where using note 8 crit. 1: S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) = Area ( F r ) / ε = 4 r 2 / ε , we wish to prove Section 5.4.2 crit. 33a:
1 = lim sup ε 0 lim sup r 4 r 4 / ε / 4 r 2 / ε lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω α ̲ ε , r , ω , ψ = lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , r , ω S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ / S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) lim sup ε 0 lim sup r 4 r 2 / ε / 4 r 2 / ε = 1
Hence Section 5.4.2 crit. 33a is true and then we prove Section 5.4.2 crit. 33b:
Note, since F j is a square, using note 8 crit. (2) and note 9 crit. (2), it’s simple to see:
E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) = log 2 ( Area ( F j ) / ε 1 ) = log 2 ( 4 j 4 / ε 1 )
Thus, using Section 5.4.2 (0a) and note 8 crit. (2):
S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ¯ = sup S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) : r N , ω Ω ε , r , ψ Ψ ε , r , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) = sup S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) : r N , ω Ω ε , r , ψ Ψ ε , r , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) log 2 ( 4 j 4 / ε 1 ) =
Note, since F r is also a square, for all ω Ω ε , r and ψ Ψ ε , r , ω
0 < E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) log 2 ( Area ( F r ) / ε 1 ) = log 2 ( 4 r 2 / ε 1 )
Therefore, using Equations (84) and (85):
  • For every j N , we find a r N , where log 2 ( 4 r 2 / ε 1 ) log 2 ( 4 j 4 / ε 1 ) , but the absolute value of log 2 ( 4 j 4 / ε 1 ) log 2 ( 4 r 2 / ε 1 ) is minimized. In other words, for every j N , we want a r N , where:
    log 2 ( 4 r 2 / ε 1 ) log 2 ( 4 j 4 / ε 1 )
    4 r 2 4 j 4
    r 2 j 4
    r j 2
    r = j 2 = j 2
    4 r 2 / ε = 4 ( j 2 ) 2 / ε =
    4 r 2 / ε = 4 j 4 / ε
Hence:
S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ¯ = 4 j 4 / ε
and, using 8 crit. (1) and 8 crit. (1) with Equation (92): S ( C ( ε , F r , ω ) , ψ ) = Area ( F r ) / ε = 4 r 2 / ε = 4 j 4 / ε . Thus, we wish to prove Section 5.4.2 crit. 33a using Equation (93):
lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , j sup ψ Ψ ε , j , ω α ¯ ε , j , ω , ψ =
lim sup ε 0 lim sup r sup ω Ω ε , r sup ψ Ψ ε , j , ω S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ¯ / S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) =
lim sup ε 0 lim sup j 4 j 4 / ε / 4 j 4 / ε = 1
where Section 5.4.2 crit. 33b is true.
Therefore, since Section 5.4.2 crit. 3 is correct in this case, “the measure" of ( F r ) increases at a rate linear to that of ( F j ) j N

5.5. Defining The Actual Rate of Expansion of Sequence of Bounded Sets From C

In the next section, we will define the actual rate of expansion of sequence of bounded sets from C and give an example. (Note, the motivation for the definition is explained in Section 3.2.1).

5.5.1. Definition of Actual Rate of Expansion of Sequence of Bounded Sets

Suppose ( F r ) r N is a bounded sequence of subsets of R n , and d ( Q , R ) is the Euclidean distance between points Q , R R n . Therefore, using the “chosen" center point C R n , when:
G ( C , F r ) = sup d ( C , y ) : y F r
the actual rate of expansion is:
E ( C , F r ) = G ( C , F r + 1 ) G ( C , F r )
Note, there are cases of F r r N when E isn’t fixed and E E (i.e., the chosen, fixed rate of expansion).

5.5.2. Example

Suppose A = R 2 , ( F r ) r N = ( [ r , r ] × [ r , r ] ) r N , and C = ( 1 , 1 ) . One can clearly see ( r , r ) is the point on F r that is farthest from ( 1 , 1 ) . Hence,
G ( C , F r ) = sup d ( C , y ) : y F r =
d ( ( r , r ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) =
( r 1 ) 2 + ( r 1 ) 2 =
( ( r + 1 ) ) 2 + ( ( r + 1 ) ) 2 =
( r + 1 ) 2 + ( r + 1 ) 2 =
2 ( r + 1 ) 2 =
2 ( r + 1 )
and the actual rate of expansion is:
E ( C , F r ) = G ( C , F r + 1 ) G ( C , F r ) =
2 ( ( r + 1 ) + 1 ) 2 ( r + 1 ) =
2 ( r + 2 ) 2 ( r + 1 ) =
2 r + 2 2 2 r 2 =
2

6. My Attempt At Answering The Approach of Section 1.3

6.1. Choice Function

Suppose we define the following:
  • ( F k ) k N is the sequence of bounded sets satisfying (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) of the leading question in Section 3.2.
  • S ( A ) is all sequences of bounded sets which satisfy (1) and (2) of the leading question
  • ( F j ) j N S ( A ) but not in the set of equivelant sequences of bounded sets to ( F k ) k N . Note, using the end of Definition 1, we represent this criteria as:
    ( F j ) j N S ( A ) ( F k ) k N
Further note, from Section 5.4.2 (0b), if we take:
S ( C ( ε , F k , ω ) , ψ ) ¯ = inf S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F k , ω ) , ψ ) ) )
and from Section 5.4.2 (0a), we take:
S ( C ( ε , F k , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ = sup S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) : j N , ω Ω ε , j , ψ Ψ ε , j , ω , E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F j , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) E ( L ( S ( C ( ε , F k , ω ) , ψ ) ) )
then, using Section 5.4.1 (2), Equation (109), and Equation (110):
sup ω Ω ε , k sup ψ Ψ ε , k , ω S ( C ( ε , F k , ω ) , ψ ) = S ( ε , F k ) = S
sup ω Ω ε , k sup ψ Ψ ε , k , ω S ( C ( ε , F k , ω ) , ψ ) ¯ = S ( ε , F k ) ¯ = S ¯
sup ω Ω ε , k sup ψ Ψ ε , k , ω S ( C ( ε , F k , ω ) , ψ ) ̲ = S ( ε , F k ) ̲ = S ̲

6.2. Approach

We manipulate the definitions of Section 5.4.2 (0a), (0b) and Section 5.4.2 (1) to solve Section 3.2 (1)-(5) of the leading question.

6.3. Potential Answer

6.3.1. Preliminaries (Definition of T in case of Section 3.2.1 (4))

When the difference of point X = ( x 1 , · · · , x n ) and Y = ( y 1 , · · · , y n ) is:
X Y = ( x 1 y 1 , x 2 y 2 , · · · , x n y n )
the average of F r for every r N is:
Avg ( F r ) = 1 H dim H ( F r ) ( F r ) F r ( x 1 , · · · , x n ) d H dim H ( F r )
and d ( P , Q ) is the n-d Euclidean distance between points P , Q R n , we define an explicit injective F : R n R such that:
  • If d ( Avg ( F r ) , C ) < d ( Avg ( F j ) , C ) , then F ( Avg ( F r ) C ) < F ( Avg ( F j ) C )
  • If d ( Avg ( F r ) , C ) > d ( Avg ( F j ) , C ) , then F ( Avg ( F r ) C ) > F ( Avg ( F j ) C )
  • If d ( Avg ( F r ) , C ) = d ( Avg ( F j ) , C ) , then F ( Avg ( F r ) C ) F ( Avg ( F j ) C )
where using “chosen" center point C R n :
T ( C , F r ) = F ( Avg ( F r ) C )

6.3.2. Question

Does T exist? If so, how do we define it?
Thus, using S , S ¯ , S ̲ , E, E ( C , F k ) (Section 5.5), and T ( C , F k ) with the absolute value function | | · | | , ceiling function · , and nearest integer function · , we define:
K ( ε , F k ) = 1 + E ( C , F k ) E S 1 + S S ̲ + 2 S S ̲ + S S ̲ + S + S ¯ 1 + S ̲ / S 1 + S / S ¯ 1 + S ̲ / S ¯ S + S T ( C , F k )
the choice function, which answers the leading question in Section 3.2, could be the following, s.t. we explain the reason behind choosing the choice function in Section 6.4:
Theorem 10. 
If we define:
M ( ε , F k ) = | S ( ε , F k ) | K ( ε , F k ) | S ( ε , F k ) |
M ( ε , F j ) = | S ( ε , F j ) | K ( ε , F j ) | S ( ε , F j ) |
where for M ( ε , F k ) , we define M ( ε , F k ) to be equivalent to M ( ε , F j ) when swapping “ j N " with “ k N " (for Equations (109) and (110) and sets F k with F j (for Equations (109116), then for constant v > 0 and variable v * > 0 , if:
S ¯ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) = inf | S ( ε , F j ) | : j N , M ( ε , F j ) M ( ε , F k ) v * { v * } + v
and:
S ̲ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) = sup | S ( ε , F j ) | : j N , v * M ( ε , F j ) M ( ε , F k ) { v * } + v
then for all ( F j ) j N S ( A ) ( F k ) k N (Definition 1), if:
inf | | 1 c | | : ( ϵ > 0 ) ( c > 0 ) ( k N ) ( j N ) S ( ε , F k ) S ( ε , F j ) c < ε
where · is the ceiling function, E is the fixed rate of expansion, Γ is the gamma function, n is the dimension of R n , dim H ( F k ) is the Hausdorff dimension of set F k R n , and A k is area of the smallest n-dimensional box that contains F k , then
V ( ε , G k , n ) = ( A k 1 sign ( E ) ( E sign ( E ) + 1 ) exp n ln ( π ) / 2 Γ ( n / 2 + 1 ) k ! ( n dim H ( F k ) ) k sign ( E ) dim H ( F k ) sign dim H ( F k ) + 1 + ( 1 sign ( dim H ( F k ) ) ) ) / ε / | S ( ε , G k ) |
the choice function is:
lim sup ε 0 lim v * lim sup k sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) S ¯ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) | S ( ε , F k ) | + v c V ( ε , F k , n ) sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) S ̲ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) | S ( ε , F k ) | + v c V ( ε , F k , n ) =
lim inf ε 0 lim v * lim inf k sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) S ¯ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) | S ( ε , F k ) | + v c V ( ε , F k , n ) sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) S ̲ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) | S ( ε , F k ) | + v c V ( ε , F k , n ) = 0
such that ( F k ) k N (Definition 1) must satisfy Equations (121) and (122). (Note, we want sup = , inf = + , and ( F k ) k N to answer the leading question of Section 3.2) where the answer to problems and 1 & 2 and the approach of Section 1.3 is Avg ( F k ) (when it exists).

6.4. Explaining The Choice Function and Evidence The Choice Function Is Credible

Notice, before reading the programming in code , without the “c"-terms in Equations (121) and (122):
  • The choice function in Equations (121) and (122) is zero, when what I’m measuring from F k k N (Section 5.4.2 criteria 1) increases at a rate superlinear to that of ( F j ) j N , where sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) = 0 .
  • The choice function in Equations (121) and (122) is zero, when for a given ( F k ) k N and ( F j ) j N there doesn’t exist c where Equation (119) is satisfied or c = 0 .
  • When c does exist, suppose:
    J ( k ) : k N , | S ( ε , F k ) | | S ( ε , F J ( k ) ) | c
    (a)
    When | S ( ε , F k ) | < | S ( ε , F J ( k ) ) | , then:
    lim sup ε 0 lim v * lim sup k sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) S ¯ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) | S ( ε , F k ) | + v = c
    lim inf ε 0 lim v * lim inf k sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) S ̲ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) | S ( ε , F k ) | + v = 0
    (b)
    When | S ( ε , F k ) | > | S ( ε , F J ( k ) ) | , then:
    lim sup ε 0 lim v * lim sup k sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) S ¯ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) | S ( ε , F k ) | + v = +
    lim inf ε 0 lim v * lim inf k sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) S ̲ ( ε , k , v * , F j ) | S ( ε , F k ) | + v = 1 / c
    Hence, for each sub-criteria under crit. (iii), if we subtract one of their limits by their limit value, then Equations (121) and (122) is zero. (We do this by using the “c"-term in Equations (121) and (122). However, when the exponents of the “c"-terms aren’t equal to 1 , the limits of Equations (121) and (122) aren’t equal to zero. We, infact, want this when we swap | S ( ε , F k ) | with | S ( ε , F j ) | . Moreover, we define function V ( ε , F k , n ) (i.e., Equation (120), where:
  • i.
    When S ( ε , F k ) Numerator V ( ε , F k , n ) , then Equations (121) and (122) without the “c"-terms are zero. (The “c"-terms approach zero and still allow Equations (121) and (122) to equal zero.)
    ii.
    When S ( ε , F k ) Numerator V ( ε , F k , n ) then sign ( M ( ε , F k ) ) is zero, which makes Equation (121) and equal zero.
    iii.
    Here are some examples of the numerator of V ( ε , F k , n ) (Equation (120)):
    A.
    When E = 0 , n = 1 , and dim H ( A ) = 0 , the numerator of V ( ε , F k , n ) is A k ! + 1 / ε
    B.
    When E = z , n = 1 , and dim H ( A ) = 0 , the numerator of V ( ε , F k , n ) is 2 z k · k ! + 1 / ε
    C.
    When E = 0 , n = z 2 , and dim H ( A ) = z 2 , the numerator of V ( ε , F k , n ) is ceiling of constant A times the volume of an n-dimensional ball with finite radius: i.e.,
    A z 1 exp z 2 ln ( π ) / 2 Γ ( z 2 / 2 + 1 ) / ε
    D.
    When E = z 1 , n = z 2 , and dim H ( A ) = z 2 , the numerator of V ( ε , F k , n ) is ceiling of the volume of the n-dimensional ball: i.e.,
    z 1 exp z 2 ln ( π ) / 2 Γ ( z 2 / 2 + 1 ) k z 2 / ε
    Note 11. 
    Now, consider the code for Equations (121) and (122). (Note, the set theoretic limit F k is set A. In this example, A = R and:
    • ( F k ) r N = x 2 + y 2 = 6 k 2 k N  
    • ( F j ) j N = x 2 / ( 9 j 2 ) + y 2 / ( 4 j 2 ) = 1 j N
    We leave it to mathematicians to figure LengthS1, LengthS2, Entropy1 and Entropy2 for different A, ( F k ) k N , and ( F j ) j N .

    8. Appendix of Section 5.4.1

    8.1. Example of Section 5.4.1, step 1

    Suppose
    1.
    A = R 2
    2.
    F r r N = [ r , r ] × [ r , r ] r N
    Then one example of C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 1 ) , using Section 5.4.1 step 1, (where F 2 = [ 2 , 2 ] × [ 2 , 2 ] ) is:
    { 13 3 , 13 3 × 13 3 , 3 4 13 3 , 13 3 , 13 3 × 3 4 13 3 , 1 2 13 3 , 13 3 , 13 3 × 1 2 13 3 , 1 4 13 3 , 13 3 , 13 3 × 1 4 13 3 , 0 , 13 3 , 13 3 × 0 , 1 4 13 3 , 13 3 , 13 3 × 1 4 13 3 , 1 2 13 3 , 13 3 , 13 3 × 1 2 13 3 , 3 4 13 3 , 13 3 , 13 3 × 3 4 13 3 , 13 3 }
    Note, the area of each of the rectangles is 13 / 6 , where the borders could be approximated as:
    { 2.082 , 2.082 × 2.082 , 1.561 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.561 , 1.041 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.041 , . 520 , 2.082 , 2.082 × . 520 , 0 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 0 , . 520 , 2.082 , 2.082 × . 520 , 1.041 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.041 , 1.561 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.561 , 2.082 }
    and we’ll illustrate this as purple rectangles covering F 2 (i.e., the red square).
    (Note, the purple rectangles in Figure 1, satisfy step (1) of Section 5.4.1, since the Hausdorff measures in its dimension of the rectangles is 13 / 6 and there is a minimum 8 covers over-covering F 2 : i.e.,
    Definition 3 
    (Minimum Covers of Measure ε covering F r ).We can compute the minimum covers C ( ε , F r , ω ) , using the formula:
    H dim H ( F r ) ( F r ) / ε
    where H dim H ( F 2 ) ( F 2 ) / ε = Area ( [ 2 , 2 ] 2 ) / ( 13 / 6 ) = 16 / ( 13 / 6 ) = 96 / 13 = 7 + ( 5 / 13 ) = 8 )
    Figure 1. Purple rectangles are the “covers" and the red square is F 2 . (Ignore the boundaries)
    Figure 1. Purple rectangles are the “covers" and the red square is F 2 . (Ignore the boundaries)
    Preprints 121252 g01
    Note the covers in C ( 13 / 6 , F r , ω ) need not be rectangles. In fact, they could be any set as long as the “area" of those sets is 13 / 6 , and F 2 is over-covered by the smallest number of sets possible. Here is an example:
    Figure 2. The eight purple sets are the “covers" and the red square is F 2 . (Ignore the boundaries)
    Figure 2. The eight purple sets are the “covers" and the red square is F 2 . (Ignore the boundaries)
    Preprints 121252 g02
    To define this cover, start off with:
    B 1 ( x ) = 2.062 + . 04 sin ( 6.037 x )
    B 2 ( x ) = 1.541 + . 04 sin ( 6.037 x )
    B 3 ( x ) = 1.021 + . 04 sin ( 6.037 x )
    B 4 ( x ) = 0.500 + . 04 sin ( 6.037 x )
    B 5 ( x ) = 0.020 + . 04 sin ( 6.037 x )
    B 6 ( x ) = 0.540 + . 04 sin ( 6.037 x )
    B 7 ( x ) = 1.061 + . 04 sin ( 6.037 x )
    B 8 ( x ) = 1.581 + . 04 sin ( 6.037 x )
    B 9 ( x ) = 2.102 + . 04 sin ( 6.037 x )
    Then, for each i N in 1 i 7 , we define:
    B i = ( x , y ) : 2.082 x 2.082 , B i ( x ) y < B i + 1 ( x )
    except i = 8 where:
    B 8 = ( x , y ) : 2.082 x 2.082 , B 8 ( x ) y B 9 ( x )
    such that an example of C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 2 ) is:
    { B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , B 4 , B 5 , B 6 , B 7 , B 8 }
    In the case of F 2 , there are uncountably many C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , ω ) of different shapes and sizes which we can use. However, these examples were the ones taken.

    8.2. Example of Section 5.4.1, step 2

    Suppose
    1.
    A = R 2
    2.
    F r r N = [ r , r ] × [ r , r ] r N
    3.
    F 2 = [ 2 , 2 ] × [ 2 , 2 ]
    4.
    C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , using Equation (129) and Figure 1, is
    { 2.082 , 2.082 × 2.082 , 1.561 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.561 , 1.041 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.041 , . 520 , 2.082 , 2.082 × . 520 , 0 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 0 , . 520 , 2.082 , 2.082 × . 520 , 1.041 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.041 , 1.561 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.561 , 2.082 }
    Then, an example of S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) is:
    { ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.2 ) , ( 1.5 , . 7 ) , ( 1.5 , . 2 ) , ( 1.5 , . 3 ) , ( 1.5 , . 8 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) }
    Below, is an illustration of the sample: i.e., the set of all black points in each purple rectangle of  C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) covering F 2 = [ 2 , 2 ] 2 :
    Figure 3. The black points are the “sample points", the eight purple rectangles are the “covers", and the red square is F 2 . (Ignore the boundaries)
    Figure 3. The black points are the “sample points", the eight purple rectangles are the “covers", and the red square is F 2 . (Ignore the boundaries)
    Preprints 121252 g03
    Note there are multiple samples we can take, as long as one sample point is taken from each cover in C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 1 ) .

    8.3. Example of Section 5.4.1, step iii

    Suppose
    1.
    A = R 2
    2.
    F r r N = [ r , r ] × [ r , r ] r N
    3.
    F 2 = [ 2 , 2 ] × [ 2 , 2 ]
    4.
    C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , using Equation (129) and Figure 1, is
    { 2.082 , 2.082 × 2.082 , 1.561 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.561 , 1.041 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.041 , . 520 , 2.082 , 2.082 × . 520 , 0 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 0 , . 520 , 2.082 , 2.082 × . 520 , 1.041 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.041 , 1.561 , 2.082 , 2.082 × 1.561 , 2.082 }
    5.
    S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) , using Equation (141), is:
    { ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.2 ) , ( 1.5 , . 7 ) , ( 1.5 , . 2 ) , ( 1.5 , . 3 ) , ( 1.5 , . 8 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) }
    Therefore, consider the following process:

    8.3.1. Step 33a

    If S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) is:
    { ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.2 ) , ( 1.5 , . 7 ) , ( 1.5 , . 2 ) , ( 1.5 , . 3 ) , ( 1.5 , . 8 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) }
    suppose x 0 = ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) . Note, the following:
    • x 1 = ( 1.5 , . 7 ) is the next point in the “pathway" since it’s a point in S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) with the smallest 2-d Euclidean distance to x 0 instead of x 0 .
    • x 2 = ( 1.5 , . 2 ) is the third point since it’s a point in S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) with the smallest 2-d Euclidean distance to x 1 instead of x 0 and x 1 .
    • x 3 = ( 1.5 , . 3 ) is the fourth point since it’s a point in S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) with the smallest 2-d Euclidean distance to x 2 instead of x 0 , x 1 , and x 2 .
    • we continue this process, where the “pathway" of S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) is:
    ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) ( 1.5 , . 7 ) ( 1.5 , . 2 ) ( 1.5 , . 3 ) ( 1.5 , . 8 ) ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) ( 1.5 , 1.2 )
    Note 12. 
    If more than one point has the minimum 2-d Euclidean distance from x 0 , x 1 , x 2 , etc. take all potential pathways: e.g., using the sample in Equation (143), if x 0 = ( 1.5 , . 2 ) , then since ( 1.5 , . 7 ) and ( 1.5 , . 3 ) have the smallest Euclidean distance from ( 1.5 , . 2 ) , and for point x 1 = ( 1.5 , . 7 ) , since ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) and ( 1.5 , . 3 ) have the smallest Euclidean distance from ( 1.5 , . 7 ) , we takethreepathways:
    ( 1.5 , . 2 ) ( 1.5 , . 7 ) ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) ( 1.5 , . 3 ) ( 1.5 , . 8 ) ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) ( 1.5 , 1.2 ) ( 1.5 , . 2 ) ( 1.5 , . 7 ) ( 1.5 , . 3 ) ( 1.5 , . 8 ) ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) ( 1.5 , 1.2 ) ( 1.5 , . 2 ) ( 1.5 , . 3 ) ( 1.5 , . 8 ) ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) ( 1.5 , . 7 ) ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) ( 1.5 , 1.2 )

    8.3.2. Step 33b

    Take the length of all line segments in the pathway. In other words, suppose d ( P , Q ) is the n-th dim.Euclidean distance between points P , Q R n . Using the pathway of Equation (145), we want:
    { d ( ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , ( 1.5 , . 7 ) ) , d ( ( 1.5 , . 7 ) , ( 1.5 , . 2 ) ) , d ( ( 1.5 , . 2 ) , ( 1.5 , . 3 ) ) , d ( ( 1.5 , . 3 ) , ( 1.5 , . 8 ) ) , d ( ( 1.5 , . 8 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) ) , d ( ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) ) , d ( ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.2 ) ) }
    Whose distances can be approximated as:
    { 1 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , 4.25 }
    As we can see, the outlier [10] is 4.25 (i.e., note these outliers become more prominent for ε 13 / 6 ). Therefore, remove 4.25 from the set of distances:
    { 1 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 }
    which we can illustrate with:
    Figure 4. x 0 is the start point in the pathway. The black line segments in the “pathway" have lengths which aren’t outliers. The length of the red line segment is an outlier.

    Hence, when x 0 = ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , using Section 5.4.1 step 33b & Equation (144), we note:
    L ( ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) = { 1 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 }

    8.3.3. Step 33c

    To convert the set of distances in Equation (148) into a probability distribution, we take:
    x { 1 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 } x = 1 + . 5 + . 5 + . 5 + . 5 + . 5 = 3.5
    Then divide each element in { 1 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 , . 5 } by 3.5
    { 1 / ( 3.5 ) , . 5 / ( 3.5 ) , . 5 / ( 3.5 ) , . 5 / ( 3.5 ) , . 5 / ( 3.5 ) , . 5 / ( 3.5 ) }
    which gives us the probability distribution:
    { 2 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 }
    Hence,
    P ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , S ( C ( ε , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) = { 2 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 }

    8.3.4. Step 33d

    Take the shannon entropy of Equation (150):
    E ( P ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 1 ) , 3 ) ) ) ) = x P ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F r , ω ) , ψ ) ) ) x log 2 x = x { 2 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 , 1 / 7 } x log 2 x = ( 2 / 7 ) log 2 ( 2 / 7 ) ( 1 / 7 ) log 2 ( 1 / 7 ) ( 1 / 7 ) log 2 ( 1 / 7 ) ( 1 / 7 ) log 2 ( 1 / 7 ) ( 1 / 7 ) log 2 ( 1 / 7 ) ( 1 / 7 ) log 2 ( 1 / 7 ) = ( 2 / 7 ) log 2 ( 2 / 7 ) ( 5 / 7 ) log 2 ( 1 / 7 ) 2.5216
    We shorten E ( P ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) ) to E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) , giving us:
    E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.5216

    8.3.5. Step 33e

    Take the entropy w.r.t all pathways of:
    S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 1 ) , 3 ) ) ) = { ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.2 ) , ( 1.5 , . 7 ) , ( 1.5 , . 2 ) , ( 1.5 , . 3 ) , ( 1.5 , . 8 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) , ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) }
    In other words, we’ll compute:
    E ( L ( S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) = sup x 0 S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) E ( L ( x 0 , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) )
    We do this by repeating Section 8.3.1-Section 8.3.4 for different x 0 S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 1 ) , 3 ) ) ) (i.e., in the equations with multiple values, see note 12)
    E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.7 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.52164
    E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.2 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.34567
    E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 0.7 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.2136
    E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 0.2 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.32193 , 2.11807 , 2.3703
    E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 0.3 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.24244 , 2.40051
    E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 0.8 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.22393 , 2.41651
    E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.3 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.22208 , 2.4076
    E ( L ( ( 1.5 , 1.8 ) , S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.52164
    Hence, since the largest value out of Equations (152-158) is 2.52164:
    E ( L ( S ( C ( 13 / 6 , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) = sup x 0 S ( C ( ε , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) E ( L ( x 0 , S ( C ( ε , F 2 , 3 ) , 1 ) ) ) 2.52164
