Abstract

Let CC be the middle-third Cantor set. Define CC={xy:x,yC}C*C=\{x*y:x,y\in C\}, where =+,,,÷*=+,-,\cdot,\div (when =÷*=\div, we assume y0y\neq0). Steinhaus \cite{HS} proved in 1917 that CC=[1,1],C+C=[0,2]. C-C=[-1,1], C+C=[0,2]. In 2019, Athreya, Reznick and Tyson \cite{Tyson} proved that C÷C=n=[3n23,3n32]. C\div C=\bigcup_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\left[ 3^{-n}\dfrac{2}{3},3^{-n}\dfrac {3}{2}\right] . In this paper, we give a description of the topological structure and Lebesgue measure of CCC\cdot C. We indeed obtain corresponding results on the uniform λ\lambda-Cantor sets.
