Multifractal analysis of Bernoulli convolutions associated with Salem numbers

Abstract: We consider the multifractal structure of the Bernoulli convolution

u_{l a m b d a}

, where

l a m b d a^{- 1}

is a Salem number in

(1, 2)

. Let

a u (q)

denote the

L^{q}

spectrum of

u_{l} a m b d a

. We show that if

a l p h a i n [a u^{'} (+ i n f t y), a u^{'} (0 +)]

, then the level set

E(alpha):={xin R:; lim_{r o 0}frac{log u_lambda([x-r, x+r])}{log r}=alpha}

is non-empty and

d i m_{H} E (a l p h a) = a u^{*} (a l p h a)

, where

a u^{*}

denotes the Legendre transform of

a u

. This result extends to all self-conformal measures satisfying the asymptotically weak separation condition. We point out that the interval

[a u^{'} (+ i n f t y), a u^{'} (0 +)]

is not a singleton when

l a m b d a^{- 1}

is the largest real root of the polynomial

x^{n} - x^{n - 1} - ... - x + 1

,

n g e q 4

. An example is constructed to show that absolutely continuous self-similar measures may also have rich multifractal structures.
