Abstract: Let

. We define a class of similitudes [S:=left{f_{i}(x)=dfrac{x}{�eta^{n_i}}+a_i:n_iin mathbb{N}^{+}, a_iin mathbb{R} ight}.] Taking any finite similitudes

{f_{i} (x)}_{i = 1}^{m}

from

S

, it is well known that there is a unique self-similar set

K_{1}

satisfying

K_{1} = c u p_{i = 1}^{m} f_{i} (K_{1})

. Similarly, another self-similar set

K_{2}

can be generated via the finite contractive maps of

S

. We call

K_{1} + K_{2} = x + y : x i n K_{1}, y i n K_{2}

the arithmetic sum of two self-similar sets. In this paper, we prove that

K_{1} + K_{2}

is either a self-similar set or a unique attractor of some infinite iterated function system. Using this result we can then calculate the exact Hausdorff dimension of

K_{1} + K_{2}

under some conditions, which partially provides the dimensional result of

K_{1} + K_{2}

if the IFS's of

K_{1}

and

K_{2}

fail the irrational assumption, see Peres and Shmerkin cite{PS}.
