Abstract

In this paper, we study the Hausdorff dimension of fractal interpolation surfaces (FISs) over a triangular domain. These FISs are known as `wedding cake surfaces'. These surfaces are the attractor of some deterministic self-affine iterated function systems (IFS) on $\mathbb{R}^3$ generated by a fractal interpolation algorithm. Due to the recent seminal result of Rapaport (Adv. Math. 449 (2024) 109734), the dimension theory of self-affine IFS on $\mathbb{R}^3$ is known whenever the IFS is strongly irreducible and proximal. However, the self-affine IFSs associated with FIS are not strongly irreducible. We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the self-affine set (or FIS) is the same as the affinity dimension outside a set of scaling parameters with zero Lebesgue measure. Lastly, by computing the overlapping number for the associated Furstenberg IFS, we determine the Hausdorff dimension for every type of scaling parameter in a certain range of parameters.
