Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the packing measures of self-similar sets. Let K be a self-similar set whose Hausdorff dimension and packing dimension equal s. We state that if K satisfies the strong open set condition with an open set 𝒪, then for each open ball B(x,r)⊂𝒪 centred in K, where 𝒫s denotes the s-dimensional packing measure. We use this inequality to obtain some precise density theorems for the packing measures of self-similar sets. These theorems can be used to compute the exact value of the s-dimensional packing measure 𝒫s (K) of K. Moreover, by using the above results, we show the continuity of the packing measure function of the attractors on the space of self-similar iterated function systems satisfying the strong separation condition. This result gives a complete answer to a question posed by Olsen in [15].
