Abstract

The relationship between the topological dimension of a separable metric space and the Hausdorff dimensions of its homeomorphic images has been known for some time. In this note we consider topological and packing dimensions, and show that if X is a separable metric space, then

where and denote the topological and packing dimensions of X, respectively.
