We consider the image of a fractal set X in a Banach space under typical linear and nonlinear projections
into
N. We prove that when N exceeds twice the box-counting dimension of X, then almost every (in the sense of prevalence) such
is one-to-one on X, and we give an explicit bound on the Hölder exponent of the inverse of the restriction of
to X. The same quantity also bounds the factor by which the Hausdorff dimension of X can decrease under these projections. Such a bound is motivated by our discovery that the Hausdorff dimension of X need not be preserved by typical projections, in contrast to classical results on the preservation of a Hausdorff dimension by projections between finite-dimensional spaces. We give an example for any positive number d of a set X with box-counting and Hausdorff dimension d in the real Hilbert space
2 such that for all projections
into
N, no matter how large N is, the Hausdorff dimension of
(X) is less than d (and in fact, is less than two, no matter how large d is).
