Spectra of a class of self-affine measures

In the present paper we will study the spectral property of a class of self-affine measures under the condition of compatible pair. We first answer a question of Dutkay and Jorgensen concerning the relationship between spectral self-affine measure and compatible pair. We then consider the spectra of Bernoulli convolutions and obtain a sharp result which extends the corresponding result of Jorgensen, Kornelson and Shuman. Finally, we provide a structural property for the integer spectrum of a spectral self-affine measure. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
