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.

TLDR
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. Expand

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… Expand
