Abstract

We investigate some self-similar Cantor sets C(l,r,p)C(l,r,p), which we call S-Cantor sets, generated by numbers l,r,pNl,r,p \in \mathbb{N}, l+r<pl+r<p. We give a full characterization of the set C(l1,r1,p)C(l2,r2,p)C(l_1,r_1,p)-C(l_2,r_2,p) which can take one of the form: the interval [1,1][-1,1], a Cantor set, an L-Cantorval, an R-Cantorval or an M-Cantorval. As corollaries we give examples of Cantor sets and Cantorvals, which can be easily described using some positional numeral systems.
