In fractal geometry, the open set condition (OSC) is a commonly imposed condition on self-similar fractals. In some sense, the condition imposes restrictions on the overlap in a fractal construction.[1] Specifically, given an iterated function system of contractive mappings , the open set condition requires that there exists a nonempty, open set V satisfying two conditions:
The sets are pairwise disjoint.
Introduced in 1946 by P.A.P Moran,[2] the open set condition is used to compute the dimensions of certain self-similar fractals, notably the Sierpinski Gasket. It is also used to simplify computation of the packing measure.[3]
An equivalent statement of the open set condition is to require that the s-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the set is greater than zero.[4]
