Abstract

If T is a linear transformation on ℝn with singular values α1 ≥ α2 ≥ … ≥ αn, the singular value function øs is defined by where m is the smallest integer greater than or equal to s. Let T1, …, Tk be contractive linear transformations on ℝn. Let where the sum is over all finite sequences (i1, …, ir) with 1 ≤ ij ≤ k. Then for almost all (a1, …, ak) ∈ ℝnk, the unique non-empty compact set F satisfying has Hausdorff dimension min{d, n}. Moreover the ‘box counting’ dimension of F is almost surely equal to this number.
