Irrational self-similar sets
Abstract:
Let $K\subset\mathbb{R}$ be a self-similar set defined on $\mathbb{R}$. It is easy to prove that if the Lebesgue measure of $K$ is zero, then for Lebesgue almost every $t$, $$K+t=\{x+t:x\in K\}$$ only consists of irrational or transcendental numbers. In this note, we shall consider some classes of self-similar sets, and explicitly construct such $t$'s. Our main idea is from the $q$-expansions.
Keywords: self-similar sets, irrationals, transcendental numbers
