The dimension formula for multi-scale constructions

Let A(y)A(y) be the almost periodic filter represented by a polynomial PP, let M(A)=M(P)M(A)=M(P) be its Mahler measure, and let λ\lambda be the scaling parameter. For a Borel measure ff, define

ρ(f)=lnM(A)lnλ.\rho(f)=-\frac{\ln M(A)}{\ln\lambda}.

Its Hausdorff dimension is denoted by dim(f)\operatorname{dim}(f). The dimension formula. If ff is a Borel measure, then

ρ(f)=dim(f).\rho(f)=\operatorname{dim}(f).

The preceding result identifies ρ(f)\rho(f) with the asymptotic logarithmic growth rate of the Fourier transform, so this claim would connect the Mahler measure of the filter to the Hausdorff dimension of the associated measure. The supplied text does not state whether the formula is proved or remains open.
