We investigate in this work some situations where it is possible to estimate or determine the upper and the lower q-generalized fractal dimensions D ± µ (q), q ∈ R, of invariant measures associated with continuous transformations over compact metric spaces. In particular, we present an alternative proof of Young's Theorem [31] for the generalized fractal dimensions of the Bowen-Margulis measure associated with a C 1+α -Axiom A system over a two-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold M . We also present estimates for the generalized fractal dimensions of an ergodic measure for which Brin-Katok's Theorem is satisfied punctually, in terms of its metric entropy.Furthermore, for expansive homeomorphisms (like C 1 -Axiom A systems), we show that the set of invariant measures such that D + µ (q) = 0 (q ≥ 1), under a hyperbolic metric, is generic (taking into account the weak topology). We also show that for each s ∈ [0, 1), D + µ (s) is bounded above, up to a constant, by the topological entropy, also under a hyperbolic metric.Finally, we show that, for some dynamical systems, the metric entropy of an invariant measure is typically zero, settling a conjecture posed by Sigmund in [25] for Lipschitz transformations which satisfy the specification property.
