So far, this was only known for special classes of such sets. Thereby, we provide the last puzzle-piece in proving that under OSC a nontrivial self-similar subset of the real line is Minkowski measurable iff it is invariant under a nonlattice IFS, a 25-year-old conjecture.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-01-25T21:14:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A80", "28A75", "28A12", "52A39" ], "keywords": [ "real line", "lattice self-similar sets", "minkowski measurable", "nontrivial self-similar subset", "lattice iterated function system" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
