We obtain an analogous result for the preimages, from which we are able to prove that there exists a closed set in $\\mathbb{R}$, of zero $h$-Hausdorff measure, that contains any polynomial pattern. The set $E$ can - in some cases - chosen to be perfect. Additionally we prove some related result for countable intersections, obtaining, instead of a closed set, an $\\mathcal{F}_{\\sigma}$ set.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-12T17:51:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A71", "10L20" ], "keywords": [ "small sets containing", "closed set", "hausdorff measure zero", "finite set", "dimension function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
