Dimension of the graph of a function $\varphi : \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$

Let $\varphi : \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function, and let $G(\varphi)$ be the graph of $\varphi$. Denote $R:=\{(x,0) \in \mathbb{R}^2 | x \in \mathbb{R}\}$ as the real line in $\...

Hausdorff dimension of the graph of an increasing function

Let $f$ be a continuous, strictly increasing function from $[0,1]$ to itself with $f(0)=0, f(1)=1$. Let $\Gamma_f$ denote its graph. What can be said about the Hausdorff dimension of $\Gamma_f$? In ...

Hausdorff dimension of boundaries of open sets diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^n$

Let $B$ be a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ which is diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^n$. (I am not sure how important the diffeomorphism is but this is the case I am interested in.) Let $C$ be its ...
