On the dimension of planar self-affine sets with non-invertible maps

Abstract

In this paper, we study the dimension of planar self-affine sets, of which generating iterated function system (IFS) contains non-invertible affine mappings. We show that under a certain separation condition the dimension equals to the affinity dimension for a typical choice of the linear-parts of the non-invertible mappings, furthermore, we show that the dimension is strictly smaller than the affinity dimension for certain choices of parameters.
