Abstract
Motivated by a question of M. Hochman, we construct examples of hyperbolic IFSs on where linear and non-linear behaviour coexist. Namely, for every we exhibit the existence of a -smooth IFS such that on the attractor and for every , yet is not -smooth for any , nor -conjugate to self-similar. We provide a complete classification of these systems. Furthermore, when , we give a necessary and sufficient Livsic-like matching condition for a self-conformal -smooth IFS to be conjugated to one of these systems having on the attractor, for every . We also show that this condition fails to ensure the existence of a -conjugacy in mere -regularity.
