Abstract

For a C^1 map φ on a Riemannian manifold and for a compact invariant set K it is proven that the maximal local Lyapunov dimension of φ on K bounds the box dimension of K from above. A version for Hilbert spaces is also presented. The introduction of an adapted Riemannian metric provides in a certain sense an optimal upper bound for the box dimension of the Lorenz attractor.
