Some time ago Besicovitch(l) gave an example of a linear Gδ-set E of Besicovitch dimension 1, with the property that E – A also has dimension 1, for each Fσ.-set A contained in E. This shows that an Fσ-set contained in E cannot be a very close approximation to E, but it leaves plenty of scope for Fσ-sets contained in E to be reasonably good approximations to E.
