Abstract

Given r ∈ [0, 1] we study descriptive complexity of the set P r (respectively D r) of all compact sets K in the hyperspace \( \mathcal{K} \)(R) with porosity r (density r) at 0. We also show that the set NBP of all nowhere bilaterally porous compact sets in \( \mathcal{K} \)(R) is Π 11 -complete, and we prove a similar fact for density.
