The pointwise Hölder spectrum of general self-affine functions on an interval (Q2173793)

The author investigates the graphs of continuous functions on the unit interval which are attractors of iterated function systems consisting of \(r \geq 2\) affine maps on \(\mathbb{R}^2\). Such functions satisfy the self-referential equation \[ \phi(a_k x + b_k) = c_k x + d_k \phi (x) + e_k, \quad k = 1, \ldots, r;\;\; x\in [0,1]. \] Here, \(a_k, b_k, c_k, d_k\), and \(e_k\) are real numbers. It is proved that the multifractal spectrum of \(\phi\) is given by the multifractal formalism provided that \(|d_k| > |a_k|\) for at least one \(k\). In the special case when \(a_k > 0\), for all \(k\), an exact expression for the pointwise Hölder exponent of \(\phi\) at any point \(x\in [0,1]\) is derived.
