Properties of a random Cantor set with overlaps

Number Theory 2026-01-29 v1

Abstract

We study the topology and the Hausdorff dimension of a random Cantor set with overlaps, generated by an iterated function system with scaling ratio equal to the Golden Mean. The results extend known formulas to a case where the Open Set Condition fails. Our methodology is based on the theory of expansions in non-integer bases.
