Dec 22, 2015 at 11:31 comment added Pablo Shmerkin For dynamical objects Hausdorff and packing dimensions often (though not always) agree. Although I don't like the definition of fractal as the equality of Hausdorff and packing dimension, this equality does say something about the geometry of the object - very roughly, that its size is the same at all small scales. So I would say that throughout dynamics packing dimension occurs naturally!

Dec 21, 2015 at 21:57 comment added John B Thank you very much for your reply. I knew the two first works. But let me insist on the "dynamical systems" aspect, thus reformulating a bit: Are there any other "natural" occurrences of packing dimension and/or packing "measure" in the context of dynamical systems? I tend to disagree with you that having positive packing measure is a good argument; even the Patterson-Sullivan procedure goes precisely by avoiding this problem, somehow in a blunt manner, but quite to the point, and so I also don't like my own example of Kleinian groups. By the way, I'm quite fond of your work.
