A chain in the unit n-cube is a set C ⊂ [0, 1]n such that for every x = (x1, . . . , xn) and y = (y1, . . . , yn) in C, we either have xi ≤ yi for all i ∈ [n], or xi ≥ yi for all i ∈ [n]. We consider subsets A, of the unit n-cube [0, 1]n, that satisfy card(A ∩ C) ≤ k, for all chains C ⊂ [0, 1]n, where k is a fixed positive integer. We refer to such a set A as a k-antichain. We show that the (n − 1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of a k-antichain in [0, 1]n is at most kn and that the bound is asymptotically sharp. Moreover, we conjecture that there exist k-antichains in [0, 1]n whose (n − 1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure equals kn, and we verify the validity of this conjecture when n = 2.
