Abstract
The Renyi function for the logical time measure μ of Brownian motion is found. It is shown that this function, the Legendre transform of the multifractal spectrum of μ and the τ-function derived by the reciprocal measure formalism are not identical. More examples of μ having similar anomalies are discussed.
