Abstract. We study the average Lq-dimensions of typical Borel probability measures belonging to the Gromov–Hausdorff–Prohoroff space (of all Borel probability measures with compact supports) equipped with the Gromov–Hausdorff–Prohoroff metric. Previously the lower and upper average Lq-dimensions of a typical measure μ have been found for q ∈ (1,∞). In this paper we determine the lower and upper average Lq-dimensions of a typical measure μ in the two limiting cases: q = 1 and q = ∞. In particular, we prove that a typical measure μ is as irregular as possible: for q = 1 and q = ∞, the lower average Lq-dimension attains the smallest possible value, namely 0, and the upper average Lq-dimension attains the largest possible value, namely ∞. The proofs rely on some non-trivial semi-continuity properties of Lq-dimensions that may be of interest in their own right.
