Abstract

Let the self-similar set C in R be defined by C = ∪j=0r hj(C} with a disjoint union, where the hj's are similitude mappings with ratios 0 < aj < 1. Let μ, on C be the self-similar probability measure corresponding to the probability vector (a0ζ, a1ζ, . . ., arζ), where ζ = dimH C is the Hausdorff dimension of C. Let S be the set of points at which the probability distribution function F of μ has no derivative, finite or infinite. We prove that dimH S = (dimH C)2 and dimP S = dimB S = dimH C.
