On the dimension of self-affine sets and measures with overlaps (Q2817019)

Let \(\Phi := \{S_i :[0,1]\to [0,1] \;| \;S_i (x,y):= (\alpha_i x + t_{i,1}, \beta_i y + t_{i,2})\}_{i=1}^m\) be a contracting diagonal affine iterated function system and \(\Lambda\) its attractor. The authors derive a sufficient condition for \(\Phi\) which ensures that the Hausdorff dimension of \(\Lambda\) coincides with the box dimension and their common values is equal to the bound given by a formula of Falconer's. In addition, an upper bound for the dimension of the exceptional set of parameters is given.
