Favard length of non-homogeneous random disc-like Cantor sets
Abstract
The Favard length of a planar set is the average length of its orthogonal projections. We provide sharp estimates for the Favard length decay of a random variant of the non-homogeneous four corner Cantor sets introduced by Garnett in the 1970s. As a corollary, we obtain examples which show that Mattila's classical lower bound on the Favard length in terms of the Riesz capacity is sharp for all possible decay rates. We also obtain a new family of examples of sets with positive analytic capacity and zero Favard length.
