Matrix representations for some self-similar measures on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$

Abstract

We establish matrix representations for self-similar measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ generated by equicontractive IFSs satisfying the finite type condition. As an application, we prove that the $L^q$-spectrum of every such self-similar measure is differentiable on $(0,\infty)$. This extends an earlier result of Feng (J. Lond. Math. Soc.(2) 68(1):102--118, 2003) to higher dimensions.
