Abstract

We investigate the dimension theory of inhomogeneous self-affine carpets. Through the work of Olsen, Snigireva and Fraser, the dimension theory of inhomogeneous self-similar sets is now relatively well-understood, however, almost no progress has been made concerning more general non-conformal inhomogeneous attractors. If a dimension is countably stable, then the results are immediate and so we focus on the upper and lower box dimensions and compute these explicitly for large classes of inhomogeneous self-affine carpets. Interestingly, we find that the `expected formula' for the upper box dimension can fail in the self-affine setting and we thus reveal new phenomena, not occurring in the simpler self-similar case.
