Combinatorics of linear iterated function systems with overlaps

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let be points in mathbbRd, and let fjj=0m−1 be a one-parameter family of similitudes of mathbbRd: f_j(�m x) = lambda�m x + (1-lambda)�m p_j, j=0,...,m-1, where lambdain(0,1) is our parameter. Then, as is well known, there exists a unique self-similar attractor Slambda satisfying . Each has at least one address (i1,i2,...)inprod1infty0,1,...,m−1, i.e., . We show that for lambda sufficiently close to 1, each has 2aleph0 different addresses. If lambda is not too close to 1, then we can still have an overlap, but there exist 's which have a unique address. However, we prove that almost every has 2aleph0 addresses, provided Slambda contains no holes and at least one proper overlap. We apply these results to the case of expansions with deleted digits. Furthermore, we give sharp sufficient conditions for the Open Set Condition to fail and for the attractor to have no holes. These results are generalisations of the corresponding one-dimensional results, however most proofs are different.
