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.

Multifractal Structure of Convolution of the Cantor Measure

The local dimension of the m-time convolution of the standard Cantor measure @m is studied to show that the set E of attainable local dimensions of @m contains an isolated point, implying that the multifractal formalism fails without the open set condition.

Multifractal analysis of infinite products

We construct a family of measures called infinite products which generalize Gibbs measures in the one-dimensional lattice gas model. The multifractal properties of these measures are studied under…

Multifractal formalism for self-affine measures with overlaps

Abstract.We prove that for a class of self-affine measures defined by an expanding matrix whose eigenvalues have the same modulus, the Lq-spectrum τ(q) is differentiable for all q > 0. Furthermore,…

Multifractal Structure of Noncompactly Supported Measures

Many important definitions in the theory of multifractal measures on ℝd, such as the Lq-spectrum, L∞-dimensions, and the Hausdorff dimension of a measure, cannot be applied to non-compactly supported…

Assouad dimensions and self-similar sets satisfying the weak separation condition in R

We discuss the weak separation condition in the context of iterated function systems of similarities in the real line. Then, following [6], we present a discussion and proof of the Assouad dimension…

SEPARATION PROPERTIES FOR ITERATED FUNCTION SYSTEMS OF BOUNDED DISTORTION

In this paper we study a general separation property for subsystems G, whose attractor KG is a sub-self-similar set. This is a generalization of the Lau-Ngai weak separation property for the bounded…

When the weak separation condition implies the generalized finite type condition

We prove that an iterated function system of similarities on R \mathbb {R} that satisfies the weak separation condition and has an interval as its self-similar set is of generalized…

Multifractal structure and product of matrices

There is a well established multifractal theory for self-similar measures generated by non-overlapping contractive similutudes. Our report here concerns those with overlaps. In particular we restrict…

Iterated Function Systems with Overlaps and Self‐Similar Measures

The paper considers the iterated function systems of similitudes which satisfy a separation condition weaker than the open set condition, in that it allows overlaps in the iteration. Such systems…
