Parabolic Hausdorff dimension

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In fractal geometry, the parabolic Hausdorff dimension is a restricted version of the genuine Hausdorff dimension.[1] Only parabolic cylinders, i. e. rectangles with a distinct non-linear scaling between time and space are permitted as covering sets. It is usefull to determine the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar stochastic processes, such as the geometric Brownian motion[2] or stable Lévy processes[3] plus Borel measurable drift function .

Definitions

[edit]

We define the -parabolic -Hausdorff outer measure for any set as

where the -parabolic cylinders are contained in

We define the -parabolic Hausdorff dimension of as

The case equals the genuine Hausdorff dimension .

Application

[edit]

Let . We can calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the fractional Brownian motion of Hurst index plus some measurable drift function . We get

and

For an isotropic -stable Lévy process for plus some measurable drift function we get

and

Inequalities and identities

Further, for the fractional Brownian motion of Hurst index one has

and for an isotropic -stable Lévy process for one has

and

For constant functions we get

If , i. e. is -Hölder continuous, for the estimates

hold.

Finally, for the Brownian motion and we get
