Abstract. Let X 1 , X 2 , . . . be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables each taking values of 1 and −1 with equal probability. For 1/2 < ρ < 1 satisfying the equation 1 − ρ − · · · − ρ s = 0, let µ be the probability measure induced bybe the local dimension of µ at x whenever the limit exists. We prove that α * = − log 2 log ρ and α * = − log δ s log ρ − log 2 log ρ , where δ = ( √ 5 − 1)/2, are respectively the maximum and minimum values of the local dimensions. If s = 2, then ρ is the golden number, and the approximate numerical values are α * ≈ 1.4404 and α * ≈ 0.9404.
