the d-dimensional Hausdorff content of S is defined by C_H^d(S): =\lim_{\sup_i r_i \rightarrow 0} \inf\Bigl\{\sum_i r_i^d: \text{ there is a cover of } S\text{ by balls with radii }r_i>0\Bigr\}
A type of fractal dimension, a real-valued measure of a geometric object that assigns 1 to a line segment, 2 to a square and 3 to a cube. Formally, given a metric space X and a subset of X labeled S, the Hausdorff dimension of S is the infimum of all real-valued d for which the d-dimensional Hausdorff content of S is zero
In the abstract metric space of all compact subsets of \mathbb{R}^n, given a pair of compact sets A and B, the Hausdorff metric is h(A,B) = \mbox{max} \{\rho(A,B), \rho(B,A)\} where \rho(A,B) = \sup_{a\in A} \inf_{b\in B} \, d(a,b) , where d is the Euclidean metric in \mathbb{R}^n
