Extract

Davies and Rogers [5] constructed a compact metric space Ω which is singular for a certain Hausdorff measure μh, in the sense that all subsets of Ω have μh-measure zero or infinity and μh(Ω) = ∞. (For a further study of this example see Boardman [3]). The interest lies in its extremely good descriptive character, which was lacking in the earlier examples given by Besicovitch [2] (a plane set singular for linear measure) and Choquet [4] (a plane set singular for any Hausdorff measure for which a segment has positive measure).
