We introduce a geometric property complementary-finite asymptotic dimension (coasdim). Similar with asymptotic dimension, we prove the corresponding coarse invariant theorem, union theorem and Hurewicz-type theorem. Moreover, we show that coasdim(X) ≤ f in + k implies trasdim(X) ≤ ω + k − 1 and transfinite asymptotic dimension of the shift union shIn Section 5, we define the shift union ofiZ is no more than ω + 1. Finally, we give a negative answer to the Question 7.1 raised in [17].
PreliminariesOur terminology concerning the asymptotic dimension follows from [3] and for undefined terminology we refer to [11]. Let (X, d) be a metric space and U, V ⊆ X, let diam U = sup{d(x, y) : x, y ∈ U } and d(U, V ) = inf{d(x, y) : x ∈ U, y ∈ V }. Let R > 0 and U be a family of subsets of X, U is said to be R-bounded if diam U △ = sup{diam U : U ∈ U} ≤ R.U is said to be uniformly bounded if there exists R > 0 such that U is R-bounded. Let r > 0, U is said to be r-disjoint if d(U, V ) ≥ r for every U, V ∈ U and U = V.
