By constructing an infinite graph-directed iterated iterated function system associated with a finite iterated function system, we develop a new approach for proving the differentiability of the $L^q$-spectrum and establishing the multifractal formalism of certain self-similar measures with overlaps, especially those defined by similitudes with different contraction ratios. We apply our technique to a well-known class of self-similar measures of generalized finite type.

In this paper, we will prove the Weyl's law for the asymptotic formula of Dirichlet eigenvalues on metric measure spaces with generalized Ricci curvature bounded from below.

We study the wave propagation speed problem on metric measure spaces, emphasizing on self-similar sets that are not postcritically finite. We prove that a sub-Gaussian lower heat kernel estimate leads to infinite propagation speed, extending a result of Y.-T. Lee to include bounded and unbounded generalized Sierpi\'nski carpets as well as some fractal blowups. We also formulate conditions under which a Gaussian upper heat kernel estimate leads to finite propagation speed, and apply this result to two classes of iterated function systems with overlaps, including those defining the classical infinite Bernoulli convolutions.
