Abstract

We study the singularity (multifractal) spectrum of continuous convex functions defined on [0,1]d[0,1]^{d}. Let Ef(h)E_f({h}) be the set of points at which ff has a pointwise exponent equal to hh. We first obtain general upper bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of these sets Ef(h)E_f(h), for all convex functions ff and all h0h\geq 0. We prove that for typical/generic (in the sense of Baire) continuous convex functions f:[0,1]dRf:[0,1]^{d}\to \mathbb{R} , one has dimEf(h)=d2+h\dim E_f(h) =d-2+h for all h[1,2],h\in[1,2], and in addition, we obtain that the set Ef(h) E_f({h} ) is empty if h(0,1)(1,+)h\in (0,1)\cup (1,+\infty). Also, when ff is typical, the boundary of [0,1]d[0,1]^{d} belongs to Ef(0)E_{f}({0}).
