How large can the set of turbulent points be?

This question resisted attempts on MSE. Let $E \subset \mathbb R^n$ be a Lebesgue measurable set. We say that $x \in \mathbb R^n$ is a turbulent point of E if both the following conditions hold: $$\...

Is the $L^\infty$ norm of the derivative the same under the Hausdorff and Lebesgue measure?

Note: Here $\mathcal H^k$ denotes the $k$-dimensional Hausdorff measure, and $\|f\|_{L^\infty (\mathcal H^k)}$ denotes the $L^\infty$ norm of a function $f$ with respect to $\mathcal H^k$. Let $\Omega$...

Hausdorff dimension of the zero set of $\nabla f$

Let $f: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ be a Lipschitz function with $\nabla f$ nonzero almost everywhere with respect to Lebesgue measure. What is the supremal Hausdorff dimension of the set on which $f$ ...

Hausdorff dimension of the zero set of the gradient of an eikonal function

Let $f: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ be a Lipschitz function with $|\nabla f| = 1$ almost everywhere with respect to Lebesgue measure. What is the supremal Hausdorff dimension of the set on which $f$ is ...

Maximal Hausdorff dimension of the set on which derivatives do not agree

Let $f, g: [0, 1] \to \mathbb R$ be functions that are differentiable a.e. with $f’ = g’$ almost everywhere. What is the supremal Hausdorff dimension of the set on which $f$ and $g$ are both ...

On the set on which $|Df|$ is maximal for Lipschitz $f$

Let $f: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ be a Lipschitz continuous function with strict Lipschitz constant $L > 0$. That is, $|f(x) - f(y)| < L|x - y|$ for all $x \neq y$ in $\mathbb R^d$. Question: ...

Best Hölder exponents of surjective maps from the unit square to the unit cube

The Peano's square-filling curve $p:I\to I^2$ turn's out to be Hölder continuous with exponent $1/2$ on the unit interval $I$ (a quick way to see it, is to note that $p$ is a fixed point of a ...

Is there a characterization of the Hausdorff measures?

It is known that there is a unique measure on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that the measure of the rectangle $\prod_i [a_i,b_i[$ is $\prod_i (b_i-a_i)$. This is the Lebesgue ...
