Abstract
One of the milestones in Fractal Geometry is the so-called Moran’s Theorem, which allows the calculation of the similarity dimension of any strict self-similar set under the open set condition. In this paper, we contribute a generalized version of the Moran’s theorem, which does not require the \(\mathrm{OSC}\) to be satisfied by the similitudes that give rise to the corresponding attractor. To deal with, two generalized versions for the classical fractal dimensions, namely, the box and the Hausdorff dimensions, are explored in terms of fractal structures, a kind of uniform spaces.
