Abstract.

For q ≥ 0, Olsen [1] has attained the exact rate of convergence of the L q-spectrum of a self-similar measure and showed that the so-called empirical multifractal moment measures converges weakly to the normalized multifractal measures. Unfortunately, nothing is known for q < 0. Indeed, the problem of analysing the L q- spectrum for q < 0 is generally considered significantly more difficult since the L q-spectrum is extremely sensitive to small variations of μ for q < 0. In [2] we showed that self-similar measures satisfying the Open Set Condition (OSC) are Ahlfors regular and, using this fact, we obtained the exact rate of convergence of the L q-spectrum of a self-similar measure satisfying the OSC for q < 0. In this paper, we apply the results from [2] to show the empirical multifractal q’th moment measures of self-similar measures satisfying the OSC converges weakly to the normalized multifractal Hausdorff measures for q < 0.
