The dimension formula conjecture for self-similar measures
The dimension formula conjecture for self-similar measures
Let be an iterated function system, let be a probability vector, and let be the corresponding self-similar measure. The entropy rate is
where are independent random elements of distributed according to , and denotes Shannon entropy. The dimension formula conjecture.
This folklore conjecture predicts that the dimension is governed by the entropy rate, capped at the ambient dimension. It is motivated by the similarity dimensions obtained from iterated compositions and collapsing exact overlaps; no resolution status is supplied in the source.
