Abstract

In this paper we discuss some dimension results for triangle sets of compact sets in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. In particular we prove that for any compact set $F$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$, the triangle set $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}(F)$ satisfies

$$\begin{eqnarray}\dim _{\text{A}}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}(F)\geqslant {\textstyle \frac{3}{2}}\dim _{\text{A}}F.\end{eqnarray}$$
If $\dim _{\text{A}}F>1$, then we have
$$\begin{eqnarray}\dim _{\text{A}}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}(F)\geqslant 1+\dim _{\text{A}}F.\end{eqnarray}$$
 If $\dim _{\text{A}}F>4/3$, then we have the following better bound:
$$\begin{eqnarray}\dim _{\text{A}}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}(F)\geqslant \min \{{\textstyle \frac{5}{2}}\dim _{\text{A}}F-1,3\}.\end{eqnarray}$$
 Moreover, if $F$ satisfies a mild separation condition, then the above result holds also for the box dimensions, namely,
$$\begin{eqnarray}\text{}\underline{\dim _{\text{B}}}F\geqslant {\textstyle \frac{3}{2}}\text{}\underline{\dim _{\text{B}}}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}(F)\quad \text{and}\quad \overline{\dim _{\text{B}}}F\geqslant {\textstyle \frac{3}{2}}\overline{\dim _{\text{B}}}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}(F).\end{eqnarray}$$
