The intersections of self-similar and self-affine sets with their perturbations under the weak separation condition

Abstract

For a self-similar or self-affine iterated function system (IFS), let$\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$be the self-similar or self-affine measure and$K$be the self-similar or self-affine set. Assume that the IFS satisfies the weak separation condition and$K$is totally disconnected; then, by using the technique of neighborhood decomposition, we prove that there is a neighborhood$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$of the identity map Id such that$\sup \{\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}(g(K)\cap K):g\in \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}\setminus \{\text{Id}\}\}<1$.
