Abstract

A family {S1, ,Sk} of contracting affine transformations on Rn defines a unique non-empty compact set F satisfying . We obtain estimates for the Hausdorff and box-counting dimensions of such sets, and in particular derive an exact expression for the box-counting dimension in certain cases. These estimates are given in terms of the singular value functions of affine transformations associated with the Si. This paper is a sequel to 4, which presented a formula for the dimensions that was valid in almost all cases.
