For real s0s \geqslant 0 and FRnF \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}, give a careful definition of the ss-dimensional Hausdorff measure of FF and of the Hausdorff dimension dimH(F)\operatorname{dim}_{H}(F) of FF.

For 1ik1 \leqslant i \leqslant k, suppose Si:RnRnS_{i}: \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n} is a similarity with contraction factor ci(0,1)c_{i} \in(0,1). Prove there is a unique non-empty compact invariant set II for the {Si}\left\{S_{i}\right\}. State a formula for the Hausdorff dimension of II, under an assumption on the SiS_{i} you should state.

Hence show the Hausdorff dimension of the fractal FF given by iterating the scheme below (at each stage replacing each edge by a new copy of the generating template) is dimH(F)=3/2\operatorname{dim}_{H}(F)=3 / 2.
