List of fractals by Hausdorff dimension

According to Falconer, one of the essential features of a fractal is that its Hausdorff dimension strictly exceeds its topological dimension.^[1] Presented here is a list of fractals ordered by increasing Hausdorff dimension, with the purpose of visualizing what it means for a fractal to have a low or a high dimension.

Deterministic fractals

Hausdorff dimension (exact value)	Hausdorff dimension (approx.)	Name	Illustration	Remarks
Calculated	0.538	Feigenbaum attractor		The Feigenbaum attractor (see between arrows) is the set of points generated by successive iterations of the logistic function for the critical parameter value $\scriptstyle{\lambda_\infty = 3.570}$ , where the period doubling is infinite. This dimension is the same for any differentiable and unimodal function.^[2]
$\log_3(2)$	0.6309	Cantor set		Built by removing the central third at each iteration. Nowhere dense and not a countable set.
$\log_2(\varphi)=\log_2(1+\sqrt{5})-1$	0.6942	Asymmetric Cantor set		The dimension is not $\frac{\log(2)}{\log(8/3)}$ , as would be expected from the generalized Cantor set with γ=1/4, which has the same length at each stage.^[3] Built by removing the second quarter at each iteration. Nowhere dense and not a countable set. $\scriptstyle\varphi = (1+\sqrt{5})/2$ (golden ratio).
$\log_{10}(5)=1-\log_{10}(2)$	0.69897	Real numbers whose base 10 digits are even		Similar to the Cantor set.^[1]
$\log(1+\sqrt{2})$	0.88137	Spectrum of Fibonacci Hamiltonian		The study of the spectrum of the Fibonacci Hamiltonian proves upper and lower bounds for its fractal dimension in the large coupling regime. These bounds show that the spectrum converges to an explicit constant.^[4]

At $\scriptstyle\gamma=1/3$ one obtains the usual Cantor set. Varying $\scriptstyle\gamma$ between 0 and 1 yields any fractal dimension $\scriptstyle 0\,<\,D\,<\,1$ .^[5]

The box-counting dimension yields a different formula, therefore, a different value. Unlike self-similar sets, the Hausdorff dimension of self-affine sets depends on the position of the iterated elements and there is no formula, so far, for the general case.
