Abstract:  It is known that a set $H$ of positive integers is a Poincaré set (also called intersective set, see I. Ruzsa (1982)) if and only if $\dim_{\mathcal{H}}(X_H)=0$, where $X_H:=\biggl\{ x=\sum^{\infty}_{n=1} \frac{x_n}{2^n} \colon x_n\in\{0,1\},\ x_n x_{n+h}=0\ \text{for all} \ n\geq1, \ h\in H\biggr\}$ and $\dim_{\mathcal{H}}$ denotes the Hausdorff dimension (see C. Bishop, Y. Peres (2017), Theorem 2.5.5). In this paper we study the set $X_H$ by replacing $2$ with $b>2$. It is surprising that there are some new phenomena to be worthy of studying. We study them and give several examples to explain our results.
Keywords:  Poincaré set; homogeneous set; Hausdorff dimension
