	Felix Hausdorff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Felix Hausdorff (November 8, 1868 – January 26, 1942) was a German mathematician who is considered to be one of the founders of modern topology and who contributed significantly to set theory and functional analysis.
		He defined and studied partially ordered sets, Hausdorff spaces, and the Hausdorff dimension, proved the Hausdorff maximality theorem, solved what is now called the Hausdorff moment problem, and published philosophical and literary works under the pseudonym "Paul Mongré".
		Hausdorff studied in Leipzig and taught mathematics there until 1910, when he became professor of mathematics in Bonn.

		Hausdorff was born in Breslau, Germany (now Wrocław, Poland), and studied at Berlin, Freiburg, and Leipzig.
		Hausdorff formulated a theory of topological and metric spaces, proposing that such spaces be regarded as sets of points and sets of relations among the points, and introduced the principle of duality.
		This principle states that an equation between sets remains valid if the sets are replaced by their complements and the symbol for union is exchanged for that of intersection.

		When the Nazis came to power, Hausdorff, a Jew, felt that as a respected university professor he was immune.
		When in 1942 he could no longer avoid being sent to a concentration camp, he committed suicide together with his wife and sister-in-law.

	Hausdorff, Felix (1868-1942)
		Among several concepts named after him is the Hausdorff dimension, which gives a way of assigning a fractional dimension to a curve or shape.
		Hausdorff also published philosophical and literary works under the pseudonym "Paul Mongré." He studied at Leipzig and taught mathematics there until 1910, when he became professor of mathematics at Bonn.
		When the Nazis came to power, Hausdorff, a Jew, felt that as a respected university professor he would be safe from persecution.

		The Hausdorff dimension (also: Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension, capacity dimension and fractal dimension), introduced by Felix Hausdorff, gives a way to accurately measure the dimension of complicated sets such as fractals.
		The Hausdorff dimension agrees with the ordinary (topological) dimension on "well-behaved sets", but it is applicable to many more sets and is not always a natural number.
		The Hausdorff dimension should not be confused with the (similar) box-counting dimension.

	Hausdorff dimension
		The Hausdorff dimension, named after Felix Hausdorff, coincides with the more familiar notion of dimension in the case of well-behaved sets.
		For example a straight line or an ordinary curve, such as a circle, has a Hausdorff dimension of 1; any countable set has a Hausdorff dimension of 0; and an n-dimensional Euclidean space has a Hausdorff dimension of n.
		But a Hausdorff dimension is not always a natural number.

	Hausdorff dimension - ExampleProblems
		In mathematics, the Hausdorff dimension is an extended non-negative real number (that is a number in the closed infinite interval [0, ∞]) associated to any metric space.
		It was introduced in 1918 by the mathematician Felix Hausdorff.
		It is possible to try to do this directly for many sets (leading to so-called box counting dimension), but Hausdorff's insight was to approach the problem indirectly using the theory of measure developed earlier in the century by Henri Lebesgue and Constantin Caratheodory.

	Hausdorff dimension
		The Hausdorff dimension is a well-defined real number for any metric space M and we always have 0 ≤ d(M) ≤ ∞.
		For example, the Cantor set (a zerodimensional topological space) is a union of two copies of itself, each copy shrunk by a factor 1/3; this fact can be used to prove that its Hausdorff dimension is ln(2)/ln(3) (see natural logarithm).
		The Sierpinski triangle is a union of three copies of itself, each copy shrunk by a factor of 1/2; this yields a Hausdorff dimension of ln(3)/ln(2).

	Hausdorff paradox - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In mathematics, the Hausdorff paradox, named after Felix Hausdorff, states that if you remove a certain countable subset of the sphere S², the remainder can be divided into three subsets A, B and C such that A, B, C and B ∪C are all congruent.
		Sometimes the Hausdorff paradox refers to another theorem of Hausdorff which was proved in the same paper.
		Hausdorff described these constructions in order to show that there can be no non-trivial, translation-invariant measure on the real line which assigns a size to all bounded subsets of real numbers.

	Hausdorff Distance
		Felix Hausdorff (1868 -1942) devised a metric function between subsets of a metric space.
		two sets are within Hausdorff distance r from each other iff any point of one set is within distance r from some point of the other set.
		The Hausdorff metric h(A,B) is defined in terms of the neighborhoods.

	Hausdorff distance
		The two distances h(A, B) and h(B, A) are sometimes termed as forward and backward Hausdorff distances of A to B. Although the terminology is not stable yet among authors, eq.
		Hausdorff distance gives an interesting measure of their mutual proximity, by indicating the maximal distance between any point of one polygon to the other polygon.
		One of the main application of the Hausdorff distance is image matching, used for instance in image analysis, visual navigation of robots, computer-assisted surgery, etc. Basically, the Hausdorff metric will serve to check if a template image is present in a test image ; the lower the distance value, the best the match.

	OUP: Hausdorff on Ordered Sets: Plotkin
		Hausdorff eschewed foundations and developed set theory as a branch of mathematics worthy of study in its own right, capable of supporting both general topology and measure theory.
		Hausdorff published seven articles in set theory during the period 1901-1909, mostly about ordered sets.
		Also available from the AMS by Felix Hausdorff are the classic work, Grundzuge der Mengenlehre, and its English translation, Set Theory, as Volume 69 and Volume 119 in the AMS Chelsea Publishing series.

	Felix Hausdorff
		Within a year of his appointment to Leipzig he was offered a post at Göttingen but, rather surprisingly given Göttingen's reputation, he turned it down.
		In 1919 he introduced the notion of Hausdorff dimension, which was a real number lying between the topological dimension of an object and 3.
		It is used to study objects such as Koch's curve.

	The Strange World of the Hausdorff Metric Geometry
		In addition to his work with this metric, Hausdorff was also active in partially ordered sets, metric spaces, and Hausdorff dimension.
		In 1942, after being forced to retire because of his Jewish heritage, Felix Hausdorff chose to take his own life rather than be placed in a concentration camp.
		In this informal paper, we will introduce the Hausdorff metric, discuss some of its applications, and review the results obtained by the GVSU REU research groups on the geometry this metric imposes on the relevant space.

		The space of minimal prime ideals of a commutative semiprime ring A with the hull-kernel topology (alias the Zariski topology) has long been known to be a zero-dimensional Hausdorff space and there are characterizations of when it is compact.
		In case A = C(X) is the ring of all continuous real-valued on a Tychonoff space (i.e., a subspace of of a compact (Hausdorff) space), while there are many simply stated characterizations of spaces X with this property, they are not easy to use to answer natural questions about them.
