Abstract

Let \(E\) be the self-similar set generated by the iterated function system

\(f_0(x)=\frac{x}{\beta},\quad f_1(x)=\frac{x+1}{\beta}, \quad f_{\beta+1}=\frac{x+\beta+1}{\beta}\)

with \(\beta\ge 3\). Then \(E\) is a self-similar set with complete overlaps, i.e., \(f_{0}\circ f_{\beta+1}={f_{1}\circ f_1}\), but \(E\) is not totally self-similar. We investigate all of its generating iterated function systems, give the spectrum of \(E\), and determine the Hausdorff dimensions and Hausdorff measures of \(E\) and of the sets which contain all points in \(E\) having finite or infinite different codings.
