Moreira’s Theorem on the Arithmetic Sum of Dynamically Defined Cantor Sets
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a complete proof of a theorem of C.G. Moreira. Under mild checkable conditions, the theorem asserts that the Hausdorff dimension of the arithmetic sum of two dynamically defined Cantor subsets of the real line, equals either the sum of the dimensions or 1, whichever is smaller.

Completeness in Probabilistic Metric Spaces
The idea of probabilistic metric space was introduced by Menger and he showed that probabilistic metric spaces are generalizations of metric spaces. Thus, in this paper, we prove some of the important features and theorems and conclusions that are found in metric spaces. At the beginning of this paper, the distance distribution functions are proposed. These functions are essential in defining p...
متن کاملSelf-similar Measures and Intersections of Cantor Sets
It is natural to expect that the arithmetic sum of two Cantor sets should have positive Lebesgue measure if the sum of their dimensions exceeds 1, but there are many known counterexamples, e.g. when both sets are the middle-α Cantor set and α ∈ ( 1 3 , 1 2 ). We show that for any compact set K and for a.e. α ∈ (0, 1), the arithmetic sum of K and the middle-α Cantor set does indeed have positive...
متن کاملSelf-similar fractals and arithmetic dynamics
The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a finite and disjoint union of `similar' copies. Fractals provide a framework in which, one can unite some results and conjectures in Diophantine g...
متن کاملOn Arithmetical Difference of Two Cantor Sets
We construct a large class of dynamically defined Cantor sets on the real line whose self-difference sets are Cantor sets of arbitrary positive measure. This relates to a question posed by J. Palis which arises naturally in the context of homoclinic bifurcations in dimension 2. §
متن کاملSum of Cantor Sets: Self-similarity and Measure
In this note it is shown that the sum of two homogeneous Cantor sets is often a uniformly contracting self-similar set and it is given a sufficient condition for such a set to be of Lebesgue measure zero (in fact, of Hausdorff dimension less than one and positive Hausdorff measure at this dimension). 1. Definitions and results The study of the arithmetic difference (sum) of two Cantor sets has ...
