Abstract:
In this paper we give estimations of the pointwise scaling exponents of self-similar functions on the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^{n}$. These estimations are derived by using a technique based on wavelet analysis. Examples of such self-similar functions include indefinite integrals of self-similar measures on ${\mathbb R}$, and they also include widely oscillatory functions (e.g. the Takagi function, the Weierstrass function and Lévy’s function). Pointwise scaling exponents provide an objective description of an irregularity of a function at a point. Our results are applied to compute the scaling exponents of several oscillatory functions.References
