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

. They include the Takagi function, the Riesz-Nagy singular functions, Okamoto's functions, and many other well-known examples. It is shown that the multifractal spectrum of

p h i

is given by the multifractal formalism when

| d_{k} | g e q | a_{k} |

for at least one

k

, but the multifractal formalism may fail otherwise, depending on the relationship between the shear parameters

c_{k}

and the other parameters. In the special case when

a_{k} > 0

for every

k

, an exact expression is derived for the pointwise H"older exponent at any point. These results extend recent work by the author [Adv. Math. 328 (2018), 1-39] and S. Dubuc [Expo. Math. 36 (2018), 119-142].

Review text

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.
