Examples




* The Euclidean space Rn has Hausdorff dimension n.
* Countable sets have Hausdorff dimension 0.
* Fractals typically have fractional Hausdorff dimension, whence the name. For example, the Cantor set is a union of two copies of itself, each copy shrunk by a factor 1/3; this fact can be used to prove that its Hausdorff dimension is ln(2)/ln(3) (see natural logarithm).
