Coarse-grained multifractal analysis: equal-measure degeneracy #
This file records the equal-measure (uniform) degeneracy of the multifractal formalism: when
every cell carries the same weight p i = N⁻¹ (with N = Fintype.card ι), the generalized
dimension D_q collapses to a single, q-independent value, namely log N / (-log ε). This is
the standard sanity check (issue #16, item 4c): a uniform measure is monofractal, so its whole
Rényi spectrum is a single point, equal to the box-counting dimension log N / log (1/ε).
Main results #
Oseledets.Multifractal.partitionFunction_equalMeasure: for the uniform family,Z_q = N ^ (1 - q).Oseledets.Multifractal.renyiDim_equalMeasure: for the uniform family and0 < ε < 1,D_q = log N / (-log ε)for everyq— both theq = 1information-dimension branch and the generalq ≠ 1branch are shown to agree on this common value.
For the uniform (equal-measure) family p i = (Fintype.card ι)⁻¹, the generalized
partition function is Z_q = N ^ (1 - q) with N = Fintype.card ι. Each of the N cells is
occupied (N⁻¹ > 0), contributing (N⁻¹) ^ q, so Z_q = N • (N⁻¹) ^ q = N ^ (1 - q).
For the uniform (equal-measure) family p i = (Fintype.card ι)⁻¹ and 0 < ε < 1, the
Rényi (generalized) dimension is q-independent: D_q = log N / (-log ε) for every q. This is
the monofractal degeneracy of a uniform measure: the entire Rényi spectrum is the single point
log N / log (1/ε). Both branches of renyiDim (the q = 1 information dimension and the general
q ≠ 1 formula) are shown to evaluate to this common value.
