Abstract

Let \(R=\varrho I_{n}\) and \(\mathcal {D}=\left\{ \textbf{0},\textbf{e}_{1},\ldots ,\textbf{e}_{n}\right\} \), where \(\varrho >1\) and \(\textbf{e}_{i}\) is the i-th coordinate vector in \(\mathbb {R}^n\). The spectral properties of the \(n-\)dimensional Sierpinski measure \(\mu _{R,\mathcal {D}}\) has been studied over two decades. In this paper, a special type of spectrum called a typical spectrum for \(\mu _{R,\mathcal {D}}\) is considered. We show that \(\varrho \in (n+1)\mathbb {N}\) is necessary and sufficient for \(\mu _{R,\mathcal {D}}\) to admit a typical spectrum if \(n+1\) is prime. And some necessary conditions for \(\mu _{R,\mathcal {D}}\) to admit a typical spectrum are provided when \(n+1\) is not a prime number. Furthermore, under the condition on real Hadamard matrix, we prove that \(\mu _{R,\mathcal {D}}\) admits a quasi-typical spectrum if and only if \(\varrho \in 2\mathbb {N}\). These results show that the spectral properties of the Sierpinski measure \(\mu _{R,\mathcal {D}}\) are really different between \(n+1\) is prime and non-prime. As a corollary, we prove that \(\varrho \in 2\mathbb {N}\) are the only integers such that \(\mu _{R,\mathcal {D}}\) becomes a spectral measure when \(n=3\).
