# Is there any result concerning on the metric dimension of inverse limit?

To be specific, my question is as follows:

Question: Let $X$ be an inverse limit of compact metric spaces $(X_i, d_i)$, then does it hold

$\dim(X, d) \leq \sup_i \{\dim (X_i, d_i)\}$ for some compatible metric $d$ on $X$?

What is your notion of inverse limit of metric spaces? Do you mean this one: mathoverflow.net/questions/15948/… ? – Misha May 19 '13 at 2:37
Yes, and here metric dimension means the low box dimension. – Bingbing Liang May 19 '13 at 2:41
Which spaces are inverse limits of finite metric spaces? – Gerald Edgar Feb 10 '14 at 18:33

Let $X_0 = \{0,1\}$ and $X_i = X_{i-1} \times X_0$. Give each $X_i$ the $2-$adic ultrametric. That is the distance between two sequences of $0'$s and $1'$s is $2^{-n}$ where $n$ is the number of share initial symbols the two sequences share. The projections maps are given by truncation. The inverse limit is now $\mathbb{Z}_2$ which has box counting dimension equal to one.
In general, the low box dimension is dependent on the choice of metric. @BSteinhurst Is it clear that each compatible metric on $\mathbb{Z}_2$ induces a nonzero low box dimension? – Bingbing Liang May 21 '13 at 2:50
