OpenAI's result summary
For every self-similar measure on the line generated by finitely many contracting similarities, proves \dim_{\mathrm H}\mu=\min\{1,h_{RW}/\chi\}, where h_{RW} is the entropy rate of random composed maps and χ the average logarithmic contraction. This resolves the entropy-rate dimension conjecture without a separation assumption, allowing exact overlaps and unequal contraction ratios.

The entropy-rate dimension formula for self-similar measures on the line
We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of every finite real self-similar measure equals the minimum of one and its random-walk entropy rate divided by its Lyapunov exponent. Exact overlaps are allowed, and the contraction ratios may be unequal and negative. This resolves the entropy-rate dimension conjecture.
