"Prevalence as a definition of genericity and the Hausdorff dimensions of continuous functions"
Abstract:
There exist varying definitions of a subset being 'generic' which could be used to determine the Hausdorff dimension of a generic function in C[0, 1]. In this talk we first examine the usefulness of the Baire Category definition, then follow the development of prevalence as a preferable method from a measure theoretic standpoint. We also examine Fraser and Hyde's proof that a prevalent continuous function has Hausdorff dimension 2.
