Symbolic and geometric local dimensions of self-affine multifractal sierpinski sponges in R-d

In this paper we study the multifractal structure of a certain class of self-affine measures known as self-affine multifractal Sierpinski sponges. Multifractal analysis studies the local scaling behaviour of measures. In particular, multifractal analysis studies the so-called local dimension and the multifractal spectrum of measures. The multifractal structure of self-similar measures satisfying the Open Set Condition is by now well understood. However, the multifractal structure of self-affine multifractal Sierpinski sponges is significantly less well understood. The local dimensions and the multifractal spectrum of self-affine multifractal Sierpinski sponges are only known provided a very restrictive separation condition, known as the Very Strong Separation Condition (VSSC), is satisfied. In this paper we investigate the multifractal structure of general self-affine multifractal Sierpinski sponges without assuming any additional conditions (and, in particular, without assuming the VSSC).
