Abstract

We deal with self-affine fractals in . We examine the notion of affine dimension of a fractal proposed in [26]. To this end, we introduce a generalized affine Hausdorif dimension related to a family of Borel sets. Among other results, we prove that for a suitable class of self-affine fractals (which includes all the so-called general Sierpiñski carpets), under the "open set condition", the affine dimension of the fractal coincides - up to a constant - not only with its Hausdorif dimension arising from a non-isotropic distance in , but also with the generalized affine Hausdorff dimension related to the family of all balls in . We conclude the paper with a comparison between this assertion and results already known in the literature.
