Assouad type spectra for some fractal families

In a previous paper we introduced a new `dimension spectrum', motivated by the Assouad dimension, designed to give precise information about the scaling structure and homogeneity of a metric space. In this paper we compute the spectrum explicitly for a range of well-studied fractal sets, including: the self-affine carpets of Bedford and McMullen, self-similar and self-conformal sets with overlaps, Mandelbrot percolation, and Moran constructions. We find that the spectrum behaves differently for each of these models and can take on a rich variety of forms. We also consider some applications, including the provision of new bi-Lipschitz invariants and bounds on a family of `tail densities' defined for subsets of the integers.
