Multifractal Measures and a Weak Separation Condition
@article{Lau1999MultifractalMA, title={Multifractal Measures and a Weak Separation Condition}, author={Ka-Sing Lau and Sze-Man Ngai}, journal={Advances in Mathematics}, year={1999}, volume={141}, pages={45-96} }
Abstract We define a new separation property on the family of contractive similitudes that allows certain overlappings. This property is weaker than the open set condition of Hutchinson. It includes the well-known class of infinite Bernoulli convolutions associated with the P.V. numbers and the solutions of the two-scale dilation equations. Our main purpose in this paper is to prove the multifractal formalism under such condition.
