The \(L^q\)-spectrum for a class of self-similar measures with overlap (Q2664835)

The authors are interested in the \(L^q\)-spectrum, \(\tau(q)\), for measures of finite type \(\mu\). This is a class of self-similar measures that includes 3-fold convolution of the Cantor measure and certain Bernoulli convolutions. They introduce variants on the \(L^{q}\)-spectrum which come from the finite type structure. They show that \(\tau\) is bounded by the minimum of these variants and is equal to the minimum variant for \(q\geq 0\). If the IFS given \(\mu\) has particular structural properties, then \(\tau\) is shown to be the minimum of the variants for all \(q\). Moreover bounds for \(\tau\) and its variants in terms of notions closely related to the local dimensions of \(\mu\) are given. The approach of the paper seems to be quite technical, which is due to the fact that overlapping self-similar measures resist usual multifractal analysis.
