Minimal cocycles with the scaling property and substitutions

‘Fractal’ functions are formulated as a minimal cocycle on a topological dynamics which admits nontrivial scaling transformations. In this paper, it is proved that if in addition it admits a continuous family of scaling transformations, then itscapacity is not ino(N ²). We define minimal cocycles with nontrivial scaling transformations coming from substitutions on a finite alphabet which are proved to have capacityO(N), so that they admit only a discrete family of scaling transformations. We also construct one which has capacityO(N ²) and admit a continuous family of scaling transformations.
