Abstract: We investigate a formula of K. Falconer which describes the typical value of the generalised R'enyi dimension, or generalised q-dimension, of a self-affine measure in terms of the linear components of the affinities. We show that in contrast to a related formula for the Hausdorff dimension of a typical self-affine set, the value of the generalised q-dimension predicted by Falconer's formula varies discontinuously as the linear parts of the affinities are changed. Conditionally on a conjecture of J. Bochi and B. Fayad, we show that the value predicted by this formula for pairs of two-dimensional affine transformations is discontinuous on a set of positive Lebesgue measure. These discontinuities derive from discontinuities of the lower spectral radius which were previously observed by the author and J. Bochi.
