In this paper, we investigate the Lipschitz equivalence of dust-like self-similar sets in $\\mathbb R^d$. For any self-similar set, we associate with it a higher dimensional Frobenius problem, and we show that the directional growth function of the associate higher dimensional Frobenius problem is a Lipschitz invariant. As an application, we solve the Lipschitz equivalence problem when two dust-like self-similar sets $E$ and $F$ have coplanar ratios, by showing that they are Lipschitz equivalent if and only if the contraction vector of the $p$-th iteration of $E$ is a permutation of that of the $q$-th iteration of $F$ for some $p, q\\geq 1$. This partially answers a question raised by Falconer and Marsh [On the Lipschitz equivalence of Cantor sets, \\emph{Mathematika,} \\textbf{39} (1992), 223--233].", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-26T06:30:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lipschitz equivalence", "cantor sets", "directional growth function", "dust-like self-similar sets", "associate higher dimensional frobenius problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1411.7116R" } } }
