The multifractal spectrum conjecture for self-similar measures

Let μ\mu be a self-similar measure on [0,1][0,1] and let P\mathfrak{P} be its natural sequence of partitions. Write fPμ(α)f_{\mathfrak{P}}^{\mu}(\alpha) for the multifractal spectrum, let f^Pμ(t)\hat{f}_{\mathfrak{P}}^{\mu}(t) be its concave envelope on [tmin,tmax][t_{\min},t_{\max}], and let fgf_g, fsf_s, and bb^* denote the associated generalized, symbolic, and box-counting spectra, respectively.

Multifractal spectrum conjecture. For all t[tmin,tmax]t \in [t_{\min},t_{\max}],

f^Pμ(t)=fg(t)=fs(t)=b(t).\hat{f}_{\mathfrak{P}}^{\mu}(t)=f_g(t)=f_s(t)=b^*(t).

The conjecture would identify the concave envelope of the multifractal spectrum with the generalized, symbolic, and box-counting spectra throughout the full regularity range. The supplied context establishes this equality in the special case p=(1/3,2/3)\mathbf{p}=(1/3,2/3), while the general self-similar-measure statement is presented as a conjecture.
