Abstract
This paper surveys results of the authors and others conceming estimates for the Hausdorff dimension of strange attractors, particularly in the case of (generalized) Lorenz systems and Rössler systems. A key idea is the interpretation of Hausdorff measure as an analogue of a Lyapunov function.
