We study purely atomic measures whose range is a central Cantor set and characterize those central Cantor sets that are the range of exactly one such measure. Next, we extend the characterization to the case of symmetric Cantor sets using a different method of proof. Finally, we make a few initial observations and remarks on recovering a measure whose range is a Cantorval.
We survey recent developments in the theory of achievement sets and present a substantial collection of open problems.
Let $(X,+,d)$ be an Abelian metric group and $A\subset X$. We investigate the spectre of a set $A$, defined as the set of all elements $z\in X$ such that for every $x\in A$ either $x+z \in A$ or $x-z \in A$. We consider the corresponding to this notion operator $S$ acting on the hyperspace of compact sets and examine its properties. Furthermore, we study the families of achievement sets and sets of $P$-sums in this hyperspace, as well as prove some properties of achievement sets in the plane.
We prove that the boundary of every multigeometric Cantorval is a null set, and extend this result to a larger class of standard achievable Cantorvals. In addition, we discuss the sets of uniqueness of achievement sets and show that they always belong to the Borel class $\mathcal{G}_δ$.
Examples of achievable Cantorvals are constructed with reversed Kakeya conditions only on a set of asymptotic density zero which answers in positive the Problem 5.2 from Marchwicki and Miska (2021). Additionally, the Lebesgue measure of the boundaries of these Cantorvals is found to be zero which does not answer the still open problem of existence of achievable Cantorvals with boundaries of positive measure.
In this paper we look at the topological type of algebraic sum of achievement sets. We show that there is a Cantorval such that the algebraic sum of its $k$ copies is still a Cantorval for any $k \in \mathbb{N}$. We also prove that for any $m,p \in (\mathbb{N}\setminus \{1\}) \cup \{\infty\}$, $p \geq m$, the algebraic sum of $k$ copies of a Cantor set can transit from a Cantor set to a Cantorval for $k=m$ and then to an interval for $k=p$. These two main results are based on a new characterization of sequences whose achievement sets are Cantorvals. We also define a new family of achievable Cantorvals which are not generated by multigeometric series. In the final section we discuss various decompositions of sequences related to the topological typology of achievement sets.
Basic properties of the center of distances of a set are investigated. Computation of the center for achievement sets is particularly aimed at. A new sufficient condition for the center of distances of the set of subsums of a fast convergent series to consist of only 0 and the terms of the series is found. A complete description of the center of distances for some particular type of multigeometric series is provided. In particular, the center of distances $C(E)$ is the union of all centers of distances of $C(F_n)$ where $F_n$ is the set of all $n$-initial subsums of the discussed multigeometric series satisfying some special requirements. Several open questions are raised.
We show that the Cantorvals connected with the geometric Cantor sets are not achievement sets of any series. However many of them are attractors of IFS consisting of affine functions.
