Abstract

In this paper we estimate fractal dimensions of almost periodic orbits in terms of two kinds of exponents: the exponent in the inclusion lengths for ε-almost period and the exponent in Hölder conditions. Further, we estimate the inclusion lengths for ε-almost period of quasi-periodic functions by using Diophantine approximations. In the n-frequency quasi-periodic case we can show that the fractal dimension of its orbit is majorized by the value n/δ when it is Hölder continuous with exponent δ, 0 < δ ≤ 1.
