Abstract

Suppose that KK and K K' are two affine Cantor sets. It is shown that the sum set K+KK+K' has equal box and Hausdorff dimensions and in this number named ss, Hs(K+K)<H^s(K+K')<\infty. Moreover, for almost every pair (K,K)(K,K') satisfying HD(K)+HD(K)1HD(K)+HD(K')\leq 1, there is a dense subset DRD\subset \mathbb R such that Hs(K+λK)=0H^s(K+\lambda K')=0, for all λD\lambda\in D. It also is shown that in the context of affine Cantor sets with two increasing maps, there are generically (topological and almost everywhere) five possible structures for their sum: a Cantor set, an L, R, M-Cantorval or a finite union of closed intervals.
