Hölder exponents and fractal structure of level sets of self-affine functions associated with the $Q_s$-representation of numbers

Abstract

We investigate a class of locally complicated self-affine functions defined via the $Q_s$-representation of real numbers. In particular, we compute local Hölder exponents at points with given asymptotic frequencies of digits in their $Q_s$-representation. Furthermore, we establish conditions under which these functions possess continuum level sets. Finally, for self-affine functions satisfying additional conditions, we describe the geometric structure of the set of maximum points and show that this set can be fractal.
