Self-similar sets with super-exponential close cylinders (2004.14037v1)

Abstract: S. Baker (2019), B. B\'ar\'any and A. K\"{a}enm\"{a}ki (2019) independently showed that there exist iterated function systems without exact overlaps and there are super-exponentially close cylinders at all small levels. We adapt the method of S. Baker and obtain further examples of this type. We prove that for any algebraic number $\beta\ge 2$ there exist real numbers $s, t$ such that the iterated function system $$ \left {\frac{x}{\beta}, \frac{x+1}{\beta}, \frac{x+s}{\beta}, \frac{x+t}{\beta}\right } $$ satisfies the above property.
