We calculate the almost sure Hausdorff dimension of the random covering set
limsupn→∞(gn+ξn) in d-dimensional torus Td,
where the sets gn⊂Td are parallelepipeds, or more generally,
linear images of a set with nonempty interior, and ξn∈Td are
independent and uniformly distributed random points. The dimension formula,
derived from the singular values of the linear mappings, holds provided that
the sequences of the singular values are decreasing.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figur
