Abstract: We study the singularity (multifractal) spectrum of continuous convex functions defined on $[0,1{]}^d$. Let $E_f(h)$ be the set of points at which $f$ has a pointwise exponent equal to $h$. We first obtain general upper bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of these sets $E_f(h)$, for all convex functions $f$ and all $hgeq0$. We prove that for typical/generic (in the sense of Baire) continuous convex functions $f:[0,1{]}^{d}omathbbR$, one has $dim{E}_f(h)=d-2+h$ for all $hin[1,2],$ and in addition, we obtain that the set $E_f(h)$ is empty if $hin(0,1)cup(1,+infty)$. Also, when $f$ is typical, the boundary of $[0,1{]}^d$ belongs to $E_f(0)$.

Review text

The authors study the singularity (multifractal) spectrum of continuous convex functions defined on \([0, 1]^d\). They obtain very different typical behaviors, by looking at general upper bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of the sets of points at which such functions have a pointwise exponent.
