Abstract. This note addresses two aspects of Minkowski measurability. First we present a short "dynamical systems" proof of the characterization of Minkowski measurable compact subsets of R . Second, we use a renewal theory argument to point out that "most" self-similar fractals are Minkowski measure able and calculate their Minkowski content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
