the d-dimensional Hausdorff content of S is defined by C_Hᵈ(S):= lim _(sup ᵢr_i→0) inf Bigl ∑ᵢr_iᵈ:thereisacoverofSbyballswithradiir_i>0 Bigr.
A type of fractal dimension, a real-valued measure of a geometric object that assigns 1 to a line segment, 2 to a square and 3 to a cube. Formally, given a metric space X and a subset of X labeled S, the Hausdorff dimension of S is the infimum of all real-valued d for which the d-dimensional Hausdorff content of S is zero.
A pair of collections of integer sequences such that there is no integer sequence lying between the two.
In the abstract metric space of all compact subsets of ℝⁿ, given a pair of compact sets A and B, the Hausdorff metric is h(A,B)= mbox maxρ(A,B),ρ(B,A) where ρ(A,B)= sup _(a∈A) inf _(b∈B),d(a,b), where d is the Euclidean metric in ℝⁿ.
A topological space in which for any two distinct points x and y, there is a pair of disjoint open sets U and V such that x∈U and y∈V.

Spelling & Dictionary Insight
The English alphabetical index for the letter H contains 23,837 headwords drawn from our Wiktionary-derived dictionary table. At 50 entries per page the browse splits into 477 pages, and you are currently viewing page 92. Every row above is a dictionary-backed entry with a canonical slug, and each links through to a full definition page with pronunciation, senses, etymology, and related-word data where available.
On this page 50 of 50 entries carry a part-of-speech tag and 50 carry at least one stored definition. Coverage varies across letters because Wiktionary volunteers build entries at different speeds for different parts of the alphabet, letters with common starting sounds (S, C, T, P) usually have the densest coverage, while less frequent starters (X, Q, Z) tend to have shorter but more specialised lists. PlainSpell surfaces whatever data is present and links back to the source when a definition is not yet recorded.
For readers using this index as a spelling reference, the guarantee is that every form you see on the list is a documented English headword, not a guess, not a derived inflection lacking a lemma row. If a word you expected to find is absent from the "H" list, it usually means the form exists only as an inflection of another lemma (e.g. a past participle stored under the infinitive) or the entry has not yet been imported from Wiktionary. Use the search bar or the misspelling lookup to resolve these cases.
