| Abstract: |

| The (constructive Hausdorff) dimension of a point x in Euclidean space is the algorithmic information density of x. Roughly speaking, this is the least real number dim(x) such that r*dim(x) bits suffice to specify x on a general-purpose computer with arbitrarily high precisions 2^-r. This talk will survey the development of this notion, its geometric meaning, and its role in the analysis of several classes of fractals. The results surveyed are the work of many investigators. |
