摘要
In this paper we study a class of countable and discrete subsets of a Euclidean space that are "self-similar" with respect to a finite set of (affine) similarities. Any such set can be interpreted as having a fractal structure. We introduce a zeta function for these sets, and derive basic analytic properties of this "fractal" zeta function. Motivating examples that come from combinatorial geometry and arithmetic are given particular attention. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
