SUMMARY
The range of the Hausdorff dimension encompasses all nonnegative real numbers, meaning for every nonnegative real number 'a', there exists a compact subset of R^n with a Hausdorff dimension of exactly 'a'. To construct a set with a Hausdorff dimension between 0 and n, one can create a set E that has a d-Hausdorff measure satisfying 0 < \mathcal{H}^{(d)}(E) < ∞. An effective method involves using Cantor-like sets in \mathbb{R}^n, where one starts with a closed box and iteratively removes sections, retaining only the corners, leading to a set with the desired dimension.
