Noun
Minkowski-Bouligand dimension (plural Minkowski-Bouligand dimensions)
(geometry) A way of determining the fractal dimension of a set in a Euclidean space, or more generally in a metric space. It may be visualized by imagining the fractal lying on an evenly-spaced grid and counting how many boxes are required to cover the set. The dimension is then calculated by seeing how this number changes as the grid is made finer.
Synonyms: box-counting dimension, Minkowski dimension
