The Hausdorff dimension and exact Hausdorff measure of random recursive sets with overlapping (Q1607912)

By a well-known result of Schief, for a strictly self-similar set \(K\), the open-set condition is equivalent to \(0<\mathcal{H}^\alpha(K)<\infty\), where \(\alpha\) is the similarity dimension. The situation is less well understood for random sets. The present paper studies random recursive sets with i.i.d. contraction rates. It is shown that a finite intersection property, which is weaker than the open-set condition, implies \(0<\mathcal{H}^\alpha(K)<\infty\) if \(\sum r_i^\alpha=1\) almost surely. A weaker version of the finite intersection property and \(E \sum r_i^\alpha=1\) suffice to obtain \(\dim K=\min\{ \alpha, d\}\).
