Define the Hausdorff dimension of a subset of the Euclidean plane.
Let be a closed disc of radius in the Euclidean plane. Define a sequence of sets , as follows: and for each a subset is produced by replacing each component disc of by three disjoint, closed discs inside with radius at most times the radius of . Let be the intersection of the sets . Show that if the factors converge to a limit with , then the Hausdorff dimension of is at most .
