Abstract

Let A,BRA,B\subset\mathbb{R}. Define AB={xy:xA,yB}.A\cdot B=\{x\cdot y:x\in A, y\in B\}. In this paper, we consider the following class of self-similar sets with overlaps. Let KK be the attractor of the IFS {f1(x)=λx,f2(x)=λx+cλ,f3(x)=λx+1λ}\{f_1(x)=\lambda x, f_2(x)=\lambda x+c-\lambda,f_3(x)=\lambda x+1-\lambda\}, where f1(I)f2(I),(f1(I)f2(I))f3(I)=,f_1(I)\cap f_2(I)\neq \emptyset, (f_1(I)\cup f_2(I))\cap f_3(I)=\emptyset, and I=[0,1]I=[0,1] is the convex hull of KK. The main result of this paper is KK=[0,1]K\cdot K=[0,1] if and only if (1λ)2c(1-\lambda)^2\leq c. Equivalently, we give a necessary and sufficient condition such that for any u[0,1]u\in[0,1], u=xyu=x\cdot y, where x,yKx,y\in K.
