Abstract

For α ∈ (0, 1), let Γα denote the middle-α Cantor set contained in the interval [0,1]. Let denote the set of all t∈[−1,1] such that Γα ∩(Γα+t)is a single point. Both a geometric and a symbolic description of each is presented. The symbolic description of each will be as a shift invariant subset of the one-sided two shift that is determined by inequalities. An equivalence relation is defined on the one-sided two shift and then a linear order relation is defined on the equivalence classes. This order relation on the equivalence classes describes how the sets shrink as a decreases from ⅓ to 0.
