The Minkowski sum of linear Cantor sets
Abstract
Let be the classical middle third Cantor set. It is well known that (Steinhaus, 1917). (Here denotes the Minkowski sum.) Let be the set of which have a unique representation as with (the set of uniqueness). It isn't difficult to show that and essentially looks like . Assuming , define as the linear Cantor set which the attractor of the iterated function system We consider various properties of such linear Cantor sets. Our main focus will be on the structure of depending on and as well as the properties of the set of uniqueness .

Comments
Added some additional relevant references. Emphasized that almost all z \in C_A + C_A have a continuum of representations as z = x + y with x, y \in C_A. Added the observation that dim_H(U_A) < 1 for trivial reasons
