ABSTRACT.
Additive decomposition of a continuous real-valued function on the unit interval in the framework of fractal dimensions of the graphs of the summands has received significant attention recently. This is intimately connected with a rather old problem concerning the fractal
dimensions of the graph of a generic continuous function. The primary objective of the current note is to revisit the aforementioned results on the decomposition of a continuous real-valued function and provide certain aspects of suitable vector-valued analogues. We show, for instance, that a continuous function f : [0, 1] → Rn with a suitable choice of β ∈ [1, n + 1] can be decomposed as the sum of two continuous functions such that their graphs have the Hausdorff dimension β. Similar results regarding decompositions of a continuous vector-valued function in the light of packing dimension and box dimension of the graphs of the summands are indicated. Along the way, some elementary properties of the set-valued maps that arise in connection with the additive decomposition are also provided.
