Minkowski dimension of the boundaries of the lakes of Wada


Abstract in English

The lakes of Wada are three disjoint simply connected domains in $S^2$ with the counterintuitive property that they all have the same boundary. The common boundary is a indecomposable continuum. In this article we calculated the Minkowski dimension of such boundaries. The lakes constructed in the standard Cantor way has $ln(6)/ln(3)approx 1.6309$-dimensional boundary, while in general, for any number in $[1,2]$ we can construct lakes with such dimensional boundaries.
