Abstract

We show that under certain circumstances quasi self-similar fractals of equal Hausdorff dimensions that are homeomorphic to Cantor sets are equivalent under Hölder bijections of exponents arbitrarily close to 1. By setting up algebraic invariants for strictly self-similar sets, we show that such sets are not, in general, equivalent under Lipschitz bijections.
