On large scale inductive dimension of asymptotic resemblance spaces

We introduce the notion of large scale inductive dimension for asymptotic resemblance spaces. We prove that the large scale inductive dimension and the asymptotic dimensiongrad are equal in the class of r-convex metric spaces. This class contains the class of all geodesic metric spaces and all finitely generated groups. This leads to an answer to a question asked by E. Shchepin, concerning the relation between the asymptotic inductive dimension and the asymptotic dimensiongrad, for r-convex metric spaces.
