Abstract:
Let be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables each taking values of 1 and with equal probability. For satisfying the equation , let be the probability measure induced by . For any in the range of , let ![\begin{displaymath}d(\mu ,x)=\lim _{r\to 0^+}\log \mu([x-r,x+r])/\log r\end{displaymath}](/tran/1997-349-07/S0002-9947-97-01474-8/gif-abstract/img14.gif)
be the local dimension of at whenever the limit exists. We prove that 
where , are respectively the maximum and minimum values of the local dimensions. If , then is the golden number, and the approximate numerical values are and .
