This class, for which we obtain explicit formulae for the L^q spectrum tau(q) as well as the singularity spectrum f(alpha), is sufficiently large to point out new phenomena concerning the multifractal structure of self-similar measures. We show, that unlike the classical quasi-Bernoulli case, the L^q spectrum can have an arbitrarely large number of non-differentiability points (phase transitions). These singularities occur only for the negative values of q and yield to measures that do not satisfy the multifractal formalism. The weak quasi-Bernoulli property is the key point of most of the arguments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-04-03T13:19:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A80", "28A78" ], "keywords": [ "self-similar measures", "multifractal analysis", "phase transitions", "weak quasi-bernoulli property", "singularity spectrum" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
