H-dim f [A]= H-dim A(1) if/is a diffeomorphism or, more generally, if/and/" 1 are locally Lipschitzian. We show first, however, that (1) need not hold if/is a general quasiconformal mapping. Next we give bounds for H-dim/[A] in terms of H-dim A, n, and the maximal dilatation of/. In particular, we prove that H-dim A= 0 implies H-dim/[A]= 0, and we conjecture that H-dim A= n implies H-dim/[A]= n, or equivalently that H-dim A< n implies H-dim/[A]< n. We establish this conjecture for the case where n= 2 and then prove that, for general n, H-dim f [A]< n whenever A is contained in an m-dimensional hyperplane with m< n. An example shows that H-dim/[A] can be arbitrarily close to n, even when A is a 1-dimensional segment.2. Notation. We shall use the terminology and notation for quasiconformal mappings given in [16]. Moreover, since we are concerned only with local properties which are invariant under Mobius transformations, we shall consider only quasiconformal mappings/:£>->£>'where D and D'are domains in the non-compact H-dimensional Euclidean space R".
